Putin to (Nobel Prize winner) Obama
Putin laying it out there. He insists that evidence for the claims made by the USA be shared with the United Nations and suggests that the refusal of the USA to do so proves that there is no evidence to back up claims made earlier this week. (Senator Kerry is basically full of crap and made a lot of empty claims regarding chemical weapons.) Also Putin underscores the inconsistency of Obama's actions as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Not sure what the Nobel committee was thinking when they gave out that prize. Obama has proven to be anything but deserving of any kind of peace prize.

Obama and Putin: They're just different
No they're not just different. Putin has provided Snowden with temporary asylum and Obama wants to put Snowden in prison. Although Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace prize without having done anything to earn it, Snowden actually deserves it. Putin has integrity, Obama is just a worthless POS!

'Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle easiest to fall in love with' - Ex-CIA officer
One of the greatest weapons of all time. It's not going too far to say that this rifle may have changed the course of history.
The father of the legendary AK-47 assault rifle, Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died at the age of 94. The weapon - along with its successors - remains the world's most widely-used firearm, and also an instantly recognizable brand. Former U.S. Navy and CIA officer Michael Vlahos says that after more than six decades in use, the Kalashnikov rifle still stands up to its modern equivalents.

Instead of awarding peace prizes to idiots like Nelson Mandela (necklacing) and Barrack Obama (complete loser), it would make sense to give it to someone like Mikhail Kalashnikov who created something that really made a difference. And another thing. Why do we fly the flag at half-mast when Nelson Mandela (someone who was involved in torturing people) dies and not for someone like Mikhail Kalashnikov who will be remembered as having made real and significant contributions to humankind? The people running this country are clueless frauds and idiots!

Volgograd Russia Suffers 2 Deadly Suicide Bombings; At Least 34 Dead
Russia of course shares a border with many, many countries. Additionally they are the largest country in the world in terms of land mass. On top of that they've had lots of uprisings within their borders in recent decades. Keeping the country secure is a huge challenge. Hopefully rumors that the USA is encouraging terrorist activity within Russia are only rumors. Some believe that the USA is trying to do to Russia what it did to Egypt, Libya, and Syria. Hopefully this is not the case!

Putin named Times’ International Person of the Year
Outside of the USA most people realize that Putin is the greatest living world leader. However, here in the USA our press propaganda machine does everything it can to try to make him look bad. Unfortunately, our press makes the USA look bad in the eyes of the world, but most Americans are completely unaware of any problem whatsoever and believe the propaganda without question.
According to the newspaper, it was the Syrian insurgency that “propelled the president back into the front ranks of effective world statesmen,” when he managed to steer the West away from military intervention. He then used the escalating conflict to boost Russia's clout on the international stage.

Putin vows "annihilation" of terrorists :mad3:
If there is anyone on the planet capable of getting the job done it's Putin. He won't invade an irrelevant country. He'll just deal with the problem directly and effectively. The problem is that there's a lot of territory to be covered and the terrorists are hiding in a neighboring country. It's unlikely that the terrorists will hit Sochi during the Olympics because that would be next to impossible, but they probably will strike elsewhere in Russia during the Olympics just to make the news and increase the apprehension level of those in Russia for the Olympics.

Putin Interview
This video presents a short segment from an interview with President Putin. He makes some statements regarding his countries anti-gay propaganda law. The law seems to have upset many here in the USA, but most of the complaints have not portrayed the law accurately.
