"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Russian Official Burns Obama with Putin-Leopard Pic
I'm so pleased that Putin refuses to be baited into war by the US. Instead responding to ridiculous, self-righteous sanctions, a far more nasty attempt to pin the downing of the commercial airplane on Russia, and a number of other deliberately provocative actions on the Obama administration's part with public anger and hard words, ramping up tensions, Russia has chosen to mock and ridicule the bully, while quietly going about its business of setting up financial systems with other nations that simply bypass the world's biggest bully.
If it weren't all so deadly serious, it would be quite funny, listening to the big bully's increasingly shrill insistence that he runs the playground, decides who can play with who, and makes the rules that everybody has to follow if they want to play or trade on the playground, while everybody else drifts away to form their own teams and play their own games, leaving the bully to impotently stomp his feet, make threats, and try to reassure his gang of followers that they're still in control.
