No Such Thing as Allies....

Below you will find an article from the BBC reporting on Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent speech attacking the United States foreign policy in a bold, defiant manner in front of the international community. This is the same Putin that has mass murdered thousands of Chechian Muslims indiscriminately without regard to women and children as well as the same Putin who has stirred the fears of the E.U. with his manipulation of energy assets. In addition, the same man who authorized toxic, nuclear material to poison a man he considered to be an enemy of his regime.

My point here is that as he is currently under tremendous criticism from many corners of the international community, he has no problem pulling the bait and switch act attempting to shift attention to the U.S., knowing the left media will jump all over it and possibly get off his back for a few minutes. . . .

As I've written time and again, there are no allies. It is a WWII myth. There are alliances of convenience that rotate on a constant basis.


Putin attacks 'very dangerous' US
BBC News on 02/10/07

Russian President Vladimir Putin has attacked the United States for what he said was its "almost uncontained" use of force around the world.
America's "very dangerous" approach to global relations was fuelling a nuclear arms race, he told a security summit.

Correspondents say the strident speech may signal a more assertive Russia.
