I concur Mr. Putin. A bear market in Russia should be symbolized with a bear.
And the Russia Yogi bear should leave Ukraine’s picnic baskets alone.

sit eating berries and honey instead
Berries?!?!?!?! With all that frozen mastodon meat?!?!?!!? Nyet, Putie, nyet.
Putin displayed his traditional defiant stance toward the West, which he insisted
is trying to destroy Russia to grab Siberia’s great natural resources.
Jeebus. You’re handling the destroying-Russia-thing all by your lonesome Vlad.
As for ‘grabbing Siberia’s great natural resources’?
All in due time. They’re not going anywhere soon.

Yeah, and the disturbing thing is-- they’re buying up top-level European soccer clubs at an alarming rate.

Ever notice how leaders need enemies to retain power and curry favor. The west is Putin’s enemies and the reason for it’s problems , it couldn’t be that he picks winners and losers in the economy or that the government takes over entire sectors of the economy. I remember when the old soviet union collapsed. There were making out dated crummy vehicles , everyone was starving innovation was stifled. What does he think is going to happen when he does the same thing all over again. He speaks of the old days. Why do people gobble this shit up. People were starving in the old days. They have elections and elections have consequences. When you elect an oligarch there defiantly are consequences.

Xenophobic paranoia is as classically Russian as Tolstoy and snow. It’s the default mode for a Russian leader. It’s the ones who aren’t xenophobic paranoids who are the bright spots. (Albeit bright spots who are generally assassinated or deposed within a few years.)

Iz Great Pretend-Bear-Not-Already-Declawed Moment for Premier Vlad The Paler, Putin Pop.
Iz pulling out all stops.
Iz taking every maudlin overwrought hackneyed symbol and phrase rhetoric boyars can find and rolling and prodding and pounding whole mess into single big ball of Rus cliche dough.
Iz then say, Here, my Rus children, starving for bread due to Criminal International Conspiracy of All Horrible Countries Not Called Russia - line up for allotment of soft doughy mess then somehow scrounge firewood to bake dough then eat dough like you eat their livers, spleens and other vital organs.
Iz telling formerly proud people of Mother Rus that Premier Putin Pop just now finish pulling last of every conceivably wrong lever and take last of every wrong step in response to economic crisis iz humanly possible to pull and to take.
Forget do same old thing never work before iz insane: I, Putin Pop, do ALL same old things never work before AT SAME TIME!

I wonder if he will ride a horse naked from the waist down so we can see how pig his pecker is!!!
I’ll probably get slammed for this.
Doesn’t the alaskan barbie doll also hunt BEAR? or hunt bare or ride a horse bare like the great bear or something like that? She must be peaking thru the telescope keeping an eye out for the bear bare moment. lol

Hokay, Sochi real thing actually happen not so great even terrible. But Sochi word I Putin Pop say every time economic crisis, Sochi of Rus people’s dreams, Aspirational Sochi … not bad.
From that foto shot I think Putie’s plastic surgery is starting to come apart at the seams…
Going all the way back to the Varangians. The amazing thing to me is how such a basically savage and primitive national ‘soul’ could manage to produce such gifted, mathematicians, novelists, and musicians, not to mention painters and Chess Masters. It’s positively weird. And their obsession with Caviar and warm water ports. Crazy, man.
But Putin is clearly nuts. You know it in your guts.
