#1 Crunch time in the proxy wars is coming.

Russia and China have been supporting our enemies for so long and so diligently now that they have developed a reverse "Stockholm" effect.

Sore losers don't like when you remove their pawns from the table.

Expect it to get much worse before it gets better and we have only ourselves to blame for allowing it to go on for this length of time.

#3 It's a parallel universe because the EU must be thinking, "What's his freakin' problem? We don't his land, we're willing to pay top dollar for their natural resources, we have no standing armies, and they still freak out like a newbie on 3 hits of purple microdot."

#4 Let's take away some Putin ammo by giving Serbs a free hand in Bosnia and Kosovo.

It is the remnants of Clinton-Carter pseudo human-rights crusades that sandbags the GWOT.

#5 "Purple micro-dot". I have not had, I mean heard, that since 1974.

#6 ....or as WEB Griffin speculates in "The Hunters" Puty has some fingerprints on the oil-for-food largess and maybe someone is getting close to exposing it, like us. And this is his pre-emptive "see they'll do anything to spite those who disagree with them".

#7 This is a shrill tirade by a would-be "world leader" that finds his nation falling further and further behind in every arena. It's going to get worse in Russia before it gets better. Putin's talking about "revitalizing" the Russian army and navy, yet he can't get enough draftees to fill the uniforms they've ordered. In the past, this wasn't a problem - they could raid the Caucasus and Ukraine, and make do. That's no longer possible. Their factories are undermanned, their military is undermanned, and their best scientists have fled for greener pastures. Putin's world is catching up with him, and he's SOL to do anything about it.

#9 Radical Islam is trying to dissect Britain from America, Britain from the Continent, the Continentals from each other, and Western Europe from Eastern Europe. And the only obstacle in their path from crossing the SEA OF DENMARK INTO SCANDINAVIA FROM THE CENTRAL GERMAN PLAIN IS LITTLE, TINY DENMARK ITSELF. *Yoohoo, BEOWOLF, LOHENGRIN, NEVESKY andor THE 300 SPARTANS, YOU'RE UP.

#10 I believe Russia is secretly using the jihadist and Iran against the west. Let's not stop taking out his pawns.
