#2 If the west wants to win the war against terrorists, especially the Islamic terrorism, the best choice the west has is to give Putin a free hand to deal with this international stupidity of radical Islam. It is the west who created this problem; it is the west that is sheltering the Islamic Russian terrorists. Think about it, it will be self defeating not to help Putin in the war against terrorism. Think again, why US is helping Pakistan when the road to all these terrorism passes through Pakistan. We desperately need friends in our fight against the Islamic terrorism. The biggest stupidity the West will ever do in this current situation is to criticize Putin.

#3 A6391 - WTF? Wotta load of apologist / pro-Soviet-style bullshit. The West created this problem? You're a total asshat and fool - or disinformation agent. Fuckwit.

I utterly disagree, of course, that the only answer is to trade in the fate and future of millions of Russians for the expediency of gaining a back-stabbing self-serving power-hungry "Soviet" piece of shit like Tsar Putty for an ally. We've been there, done that, and been repeatedly butt-fucked for our trust already - or is there no one with a functioning memory? Bullshit.

Beslan pushed me into the black zone, but supporting Putty is a lose-lose. He'll be precisely as reliable and trustworthy an ally as Stalin. Think about that.

A6391 - "Think about it"? I did. You're full of shit and Putty's a Soviet Dictator-in-waiting - fuck you both.
