Don’t Pussy Around In Putin Russia!

In the land of Vladimir Putin, there is only room at the inn for one person and guess the name of that wonderful man? Prime Minister Putin is a serious man whenever anyone does anything that he regards as demeaning to his royal personage. The Pussy Riot punk group decided to have some fun and entered a cathedral where they performed. During their presentation of madness the group  called on the Virgin Mary to “chase Putin out.” Wow! talk about sacrilege!

The Patriarch Kirill denounced the Pussy Riot folk and insisted they were doing  the  work of Satan. Once the Patriarch got into the dispute, his own life was subject of investigation and it was soon revealed that he wore a $20,000 watch. We have reached the point at which forces of truth battle forces of the Devil. And, we all know that Patriarchs and Prime Ministers definitely can only wind up serving the Devil himself!

Don’t Be Gay In Russia

Vitaly Milonov has pushed through in St. Petersburg legislation what makes illegal gay behavior. He has now introduced legislation in the Duma which would extend this concept throughout Russia. “If society believes that a model of behavior doesn’t correspond to society’s interest, then society reacts to it.” Mr. Milonov, as a devout Christian is particularly upset at sodomy. “Sodomy is repellent to me.”

OK, so sodomy is not something he enjoys. I hate to tell this nice Russian man but  husbands and wives often engage in the act of sodomy. Where did we get the idea that sodomy was strictly connected to gay people. It has been around as long as there have been humans. The problem is enforcing laws against gays is the result is to make a lot of people not gay.

If sodomy can become illegal, what about other forms of sexual behavior?

Let Turkey Lead With Iran

Turkey has a government which is led by Muslim moderates who  seek to integrate their religion with the model of a democratic society. Turkey does not always follow the precepts of democracy and there are numerous violations of human rights. However, Turkey seeks to work for peace in the region and has supported the rights of Syrians in rebellion against the tyranny of President Bashar al-Assad.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan is in Iran urging its government to cooperate with western nations such as the US, Rusisa, UK, France, Germany and China in an effor to resolve the nuclear issue of atomic weapons. It would make sense to hold the scheduled meeting in Istanbul since Iranians have a solid relationship with Turkey.

This is one time the US should take a back seat and allow  Turkey to lead.

Russian President Blasts Potential Republican President

Mitt Romneu finally took a stand on something. He told the world that America’s main enemy in the world is: China,North Korea, India, Iran, Venezuela? NO, you idiot, it is RUSSIA! The Russian economy poses absolutely no threat to the USA, its army is second rate and the only threat it  poses is supplying arms to terrorist nations like Syria. But, to Mitt, it is our major political economic  enemy!

President Dimitry Medvedev of Russia considered the remark to be silly. He offered some advice to Republican candidates for president. “I recommend that all US presidential candidates, including the candidate you mention(Romney) do at least two things. That they use their head and consult their reason when they formulate their positions and that they check the time–it is now 2012, not the 1970s.”

I suspect asking Republicans to use reason may be an unfair suggestion. Dimitry, these  are  people who believe you create jobs by firing people.

Russian Human Rights Activist Cited For Activism

In the land of Putin, the worst crime one can commit is to become engaged in the act of human rights. Alexi Navalny is an irritating person who constantly cites examples of human rights abuses or corruption in government. He recently received a summons from the anti-extremism department of the police which says he faces charges for being involved in extremism activities. Of course, they are right, he wants to end corruption, he wants to restore human rights to Russians, what could be more “extremist” in the silent land of Putin?

I suggest that Mr. Navalny be placed in an insane asylum so he could spend his days interacting with people who believe they are insane or he could spend some time with Vladimir Putin and really engage with a man who is an extremist.

Russia Prefers Profit To Peace In Syria

Death continues in Syria as hundreds more civilians are killed and their bodies dumped in local mosques. Land mines are being placed along border areas in order to blow up those fleeing massacres in their towns. At least 8,000 are dead and the toll daily increases. Meanwhile, Russia insists on continuing to provide the murderous regime of President Bashar al-Assad with more and more weapons. Deputy Defense Minister, Anatoly Antonov joyfully defended his nation’s program of aid. “Russian enjoys good and strong military technical cooperation with Syria and we see no reason today to reconsider it. Russian-Syrian cooperation is perfectly legitimate.”

Legitimate yes, morally, no. Russia has no interest in ending slaughter of the innocent since it makes money from death and destruction. We call upon all Muslim nations of the world to cease any form of trade with Russia!

Putin Cheats Again, Wins Again

Vladimir Putin likes to win elections. In fact, he likes to win so much that he  decided to have election results come in prior to counting of ballots. After all, we don’t want to keep people in doubt, just print the final tally before you have the final  tally. Inital election results indicate Vladimir gained about 3% of the vote. Of course, there are sore losers who complain  that his people counted the ballots in such a way as to guarantee his victory. One   opponent shouted, “the campaign has been cowardly” and unfair.

Thousands of sore losers gathered on the streets of Moscow to  show their displeasure  at the Putin “victory.” They helf aloft signs saying, “Shame” or “Russia Without Putin.” The independent  election watchdog, Golos said its figures indicate the election was  close and Putin  got nearly 50% of the vote.

So, who would you  believe– Putin or Golos?

SURPRISE! PUTIN WINS ELECTION!!

Mitt Romney is most probably furious after discovering how Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wins elections, he does not use money, he uses POWER. Initial reports indicate the man who believes he alone is capable of being president of Russia apparently won another election. He shouted to Russians, “Glory To Russia” and made clear he won despite efforts of opponents to steal the election from him. According to Putin, they were “intent on destroying Russia’s statehood and usurping power.” It is rather unclear how those lacking control over the police, the army, counting the  ballots, could somehow subvert the election.

Most observers reported countless examples of ballot stuffing, beating up those who were assigned to supervise counting of ballots. This was a fixed election. Proof? The vote for Putin in Chechnya was 99.8% and opponents gathered the remaining votes. There are reports that Putin followers intend to get the names of those who did not vote the correct way. Glory to Russia!

Jaw Jaw, Not War War!

Winston Churchill, leader of Great Britain during World War II was known as a fierce opponent of communism. He was once challenged as to why the UK collaborated with Communist Soviet Union. First, he argued  that he would negotiate and collaborate with any nation that helped his own to survive. Secondly, he preferred to jaw, jaw rather than to war, war. Sound advice for those dealing with Iranian nuclear development. The Big Six agreed to once again sit down with Iranian negotiators and discuss nuclear weapon issues.

France, Germany, the UK, the USA, Russia and China will meet with Iranian nuclear representative Saeed Jailili next week in order to discuss  how to resolve current impasse concerning development of nuclear weapons in Iran. The prospect for success is rather limited, but   as long as there is ANY hope, it is important to jaw, jaw. The alternative of war, war is horrible for all.

Defunct Putin?

Me thinks there is something rotten in the state of Russia when security forces in the Ukraine and Russia suddenly uncover a plot to kill Vladimir Putin. Thousands are protesting the election of Putin as the next president, and out of the blue comes news that some Islamist fanatics seek to kill the beloved leader of the country. Perhaps, there is a plot or, perhaps there is a plot by the Russian police to create a threat in order to arouse hatred toward Muslims and portray Putin as the man who protects the nation.

Security forces found two men in Odessa who blew up an apartment, one died and the other confessed his desire to establish an Islamist state in areas of Russia which are mainly Muslim. “Our final goal was to go to  Moscow and attempt to assasinate Putin.” I have a hunch, Vladimir does not have to worry about these two inept bunglers.
