You know, to witness via the media Vladimir Putin flexing his muscles, literally, threatening Kosovo et al with a nuclear strike, and just generally acting like a madman and former KGB thug turned semi-dictator-for-life, you really have to figure he's in the employ of the Republican Party of the United States of America.
I mean, c'mon. He is clearly campaigning for John McCain - from the vantage point of grey bleak hopelessly oppressed alcoholic Russia where the lifespan for journalists is measured in dog years so it won't look like they're all being shot and killed in the prime of their lives. He's saying, in a roundabout way, "You weak pathetic American scum had better elect John McCain as President because you're going to need him on account of I am quite insane. Quite. Insane."
Let's just hope Americans don't do that thing they always do and panic and elect the crazy corrupt lying bastard candidate, in this case because they think they need an equally insane President to handle Vladimir Putin - with a kind of like meet like strategy.
Because my guess is that Vladimir Putin is probably really really unbelievably super duper racist and Barrack Obama would scare the shit out of him way more'n John McCain ever could, anyway. John McCain would be more likely to invite him to his ranch or somesuch for an endangered species barbeque. Or perhaps just a night of staring, hands held over candle flames, the intoxicating smell of burning flesh filling their nostrils, until finally they collapse in each other's arms and make passionate love to their candlelit shadows.
Although, we already know how really really unbelievably super duper sexist he is, so maybe Hillary Clinton would scare him even more. I mean, imagine. A woman President?! And a feminist?!
Omigawd. That might actually shut him up once and for all.
