WHAT’S UP WITH RUSSIA’S JUDO-CHOPPING LEADER?
FITSNews – June 6, 2007 – We read the Washington Post’s editorial on Russian President Vladimir Putin this morning and we have to admit we walked away with more questions than answers. Is Putin talking smack about American imperialism (and aiming missiles at Europe) because Russia is really headed back down the path toward “Evil Empire” status? Or is he simply trying to “play to his base” in an effort to choose who follows him into office when he steps down nine months from now?
It’s not entirely clear. But then again it’s also not entirely clear why we should get our panties in a wad about the whole thing. Practically every country in the world is going to have nuclear weapons like any day now and if there’s anything Spies Like Us taught us, it’s that Russians are pretty clumsy with their nuclear arsenal.
Plus, was the Cold War really all that bad? We knew whose side everybody was on and most of the sparring was done on television as opposed to in real life. Not a bad gig compared with the unpredictable craziness of the New World Order. We should definitely build our missile defense shield and say to hell with Putin’s threats, though, if for no other reason than to revive Lee Greenwood‘s singing career. After all, we’re proud to be Americans, people.

That Russian chick that Dan Akroyd was with in the final scene was HOT!
