Say You’re Sorry to Mr. Putin
by Pat_S on December 6, 2014Poor Vlad. He’s getting picked on by the big bullies. Now there’s a website, don’t know whose, with a pre-written apology you can sign and send to Putin and the Russian people for picking on them. Tell Putin You’re Sorry!

Russian Memories
by Pat_S on March 3, 2012Tomorrow is election day in Russia. Vladimir Putin is expected to win easily. His campaign was heavily seasoned with anti-American rhetoric and a call to restore Russian greatness. The weakness projected by the American president is certainly a factor but there is more to it.

The anti-American rhetoric spewing from Putin is vintage Soviet-style propaganda—there are external enemies, the United States is meddling in internal affairs, the military must be strengthened to project Russian greatness. The Russian people are going for it despite an authentic opposition to Putin....
