The old glass house and throwing stones thing

After reading through an AP story on Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s allegations about America, it is relatively easy to understand exactly what Putin meant. After all, he was only looking after the safety and needs of his countrymen and women.

The AP reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin blasted the United States Saturday for the "almost uncontained" use of force in the world, and for encouraging other countries to acquire nuclear weapons.

This comment struck me as being funny as anything could be. Here was our old enemy, the red menace, you all know who I am talking about, the red menace that would send in troops to any country they decided would be a nice addition to the Soviet Union. The same one that was responsible for the deaths of millions of their own citizens.

Wow, these are really nice people, so nice that they even had a secret police to watch every move their citizens made. These guys really loved their countrymen and woman, they would even have their secret police storm into citizens homes in the middle of the night, arresting everyone inside and taking them into the KGB headquarters for safe keeping. They were so thoughtful they would insure these same people would never return to their homes again.

Talk about protecting their countrymen and women, they would even place nuclear weapons and missiles in every country they assimilated, pointing these weapons of death at America, just so the citizens would not feel threatened. Wow, this just takes my breath away.

They would even send their citizens on an all expense paid vacation to their resorts, called the Gulags, of course, most of them never returned, but hey, this made more living accommodations for other citizens. They thought of everything, they really did.

I’ll bet they are concerned, even more than they are putting on. They are concerned that our military is far to close to their borders and they are well aware there is nothing they can do about it. The once mighty red military is in shambles, some soldiers are in the streets begging for food. The officers have not been paid in quite a spell, a large amount of them are poor and living off the welfare plans of their nation.

Their navy, once the fear of many a sailor is rusting in the docks. Their nuclear weapons, once controlled by one body of corrupt politicians are now in the hands of multiple countries ran by inept politicians. It is just a matter of time before they are being sold to terrorists groups throughout the world, so they can meet expenses for their countries.

They are even raising needed money by selling rides in their MIG 29s, once the ruler of many an airspace, Tanks, Ships and charging anyone with pocket change to spend a day at the range sending rounds downrange.

Russia is in a bad way, but history has shown the world to never count Russia out of a fight. Many a ruler and country has learned this lesson the hard way, Napoleon and Hitler failed to read history and they paid the ultimate price for their lack of understanding.
