Putin Ssssssspeaks
Filed under: Russia
"We will need to establish such systems which would be able to penetrate the missile defense systems [in Eastern Europe and allow us to attack them] . . . What kind of means will be used to hit the targets [defensive systems] that our military believe are potential threats -- ballistic missiles, or cruise missiles, or some kind of new weapons system?" "Of course, I am a pure and absolute democrat. But you know what the problem is -- not a problem, a real tragedy -- that I am alone. There are no such pure democrats in the world. Since Mahatma Gandhi, there has been no one."
Vladimir Putin, so-called "president" of Russia, speaking to the Times of London over the weekend.
A few days ago America was Nazi Germany according to Putin and now, you guessed it, he's GANDHI! This man has come completely unglued. He's positively drunk with the illusion of power and unadulterated hatred of Western values fermented in a vat of resentment over the downfall of his beloved USSR. He's threatened to point his nuclear strikeforce at Europe after such actions destroyed the USSR, his only basis for his threat is the existence of defensive systems in Eastern Europe (why does he need the ability to fire missiles at Eastern Europe with impunity?), and meanwhile he thinks of himself as Gandhi (yes, it's a little known fact that Gandhi was famous for devising new offensive ICBM's to overcome defensive systems and thereby promote global thermonuclear holocaust).
The world must wake up to the true horror of what is happening behind the walls of the Kremlin, before it is too late. History is watching you, leaders of the Western world! It's judgment will be swift and harsh if you follow the course of appeasement that allowed the first Soviet state to arise!
Putin is scheduled to meet soon with George Bush at the family compound in Maine. All possible pressure must be brought to make our president realize the folly of his policies towards Russia, for his own good as well as the nation's.
