for those of you who grew up on Radio Free Europe....

Oh dear, hard to believe how much Putin managed to weaken his once proud country. During WW II Russian soldiers kept fighting with nothing but some garlic in one pocket, some sugar cubes in the other pocket and a package of Mahorca.

These days it sounds like the Russian weaklings are already complaining when the egg, banana and heating supply for their luxury appartments is interrupted. No surprise they can't even beat a much smaller country like Ukraine into submission.

Heard they lost some expensive planes as well ...

Well, she certainly would be not just the best woman, but as well the much better candidate.

Impossible to predict the future ... and still harder if it is controlled by madman.

Clearly he must be frustrated that his farts don't manage anymore to get all the Western headlines. Too many competitors these days for the position of most crazy autocrat.

Personally I'd be more concerned that the situation in the near East explodes before the dear leader commits suicide, but you never know.
