but...but...but didn't Obama (he of the all-knowing and prescient vision) mock Mitt Romney during the presidential debates about the eighties wanting their Cold War thinking back? Surely you're not gain-saying the leader of the enlightened ones?Putin is already "on the record" stating that the worst thing that happened in the 20th century was the fall of the Soviet Union (his former bosses). So now he's in the process of reconstituting that empire and no one on this planet seems to have the balls to stop him. The current administration in Washington is as useless as $#@! on a boar hog and the E.U. is mostly dependent on Russian gas and oil so Putin pretty much has the world by the ass.
