Da whatever you say, tovarisk. Don't nuke us, we won't nuke you.
My president might be a tool, but atleast Americans (in America anyway) are safe to complain and give his administration hell about Iraq. Journalists in Moscow can't even complain about Checny without fear of being murdered.

Russia is like the USA in the 1930s, only worse.. both the Russian govt and business sectors are run like organized crime syndicates. Thats why any russian that complains about it too loudly are being silenced.
