The energy dependent Russian economy was negatively impacted by the 50% drop in energy prices.

All of this from Obama, who once laughed at Mitt Romney for claiming that Russia is our biggest concern. Obama has proven to be a fully inept dunderhead, who Putin has spanked since day 1.

The banner which pjstroh posts is, indeed, a collectors' item nowadays, . . . it is the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which collapsed sometime around December 1991.

President Putin is the leader of the Russian Federation, the flag of which is a simple tricolor - white, blue, and red. They no longer cling to the hammer and sickle symbol.

Nonetheless, unlike some celebrities who promised to depart the United States upon the election of President-Elect Trump, . . .and have NOT done so , . . . poor old DonDiego still pledges his allegiance to the United States of America.
He just hopes for an interval of better leadership; it could hardly be worse.

I cant believe that people are siding with Soviet era propaganda over their own government. It truly saddens me.
There really are no words.

When asked the difference between the Communist Party and the Democrat Party, Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz (the Dem Party Chair at the time) could not articulate an answer......I must admit there are many times I can't tell the difference either.

PJ, you of all people referencing 'comrade' is incredibly funny!

Wishing everyone the happiest times in 8 years!

Boiler agrees. PJ should not do so.

From the 2013 archives....

Isolated incident. Nothing to see.Move on.

the Russians are putting malware into our electrical grid

But then again, this is being reported by our national intelligence agencies so maybe it's bogus. Better wait and see what Russian State media says. Stay tuned.

And they said that Billy was "a one trick pony".
