I'll Say It Again, Putin Is Dangerous

Putin is proving me right. In my July 16 post "Russia More Dangerous Under Putin..." I stated that Putin is proving himself to be a despot. He has decided to give us more evidence. In this AP video report, we are told that Russian bombers armed with nuclear warheads are again patrolling the oceans. In fact, British fighter jets had to turn away one of the bombers as it approached Britain's airspace. The patrols bring the bombers to within striking distance of the U.S. In addition, Russia is participating in peaceful "war games" with China. All of this poses a huge risk for the free world. Have we heard even a "peep" from GWB? No. Putin is GWB's kind of guy. 

Russia More Dangerous Under Putin Than Khrushchev

When a national leader is willing to assassinate his perceived enemies in foreign lands using dangerous radioactive materials, he is no longer a "president," "prime minister," nor "general secretary." At that point he is a despot, a dictator, and a terrorist. Yes, Vladimir Putin is a terrorist. He wants us to believe that those fighting for their freedom in Chechnya are terrorists, but that is not the case. If the freedom fighters of Chechnya are terrorists, then George Washington, Paul Revere, and Patrick Henry were terrorists. George Bush has given a terrible tool to the heads of states who are trying to quell groups fighting for their freedom. All they need to do is label the groups as terrorists. After that, they can unleash hell upon anyone whom they "suspect" as being a "terrorist." President Bush's meeting with Vladimir Putin speaks volumes about where the real threat to our freedoms lie.

Much Too Little, Much Too Late

Bush imposes new sanctions on Sudan - Focus on Sudan - MSNBC.com

Four days after my post on why I do not trust conventional media sources, which included a criticism of their coverage of the atrocities in Sudan, Bush puts out a statement about new U.S. sanctions against the Sudanese government. Unfortunately, the sanctions do not go far enough and will make little difference in the spilling of innocent blood by the Janjaweed Militia. Why has it taken so many years to get this president to pay attention to something that so many people in the United States and around the world have been pointing to as one of the world's worst atrocities? Have Russia and China been paying him blood money to keep a "hands off" policy? It certainly would not surprise me.
