Putin has major league brass balls. How the hell can he sit in a summit conference after the tanks have rolled across the border and the downing of an airliner is amazing. The former head of the KGB does not have a soul and shame on O'fingBama for even breaking bread with him. Sorry, this guy is a cold, icy eyed killer and frightens the hell out of me, I've seen that icy stare a few times on not so nice people.

Not sure what the deal is with Russia lately but it sure looks like Putin is trying to make a statement. He even brought his own warships and have them stationed near the Australian coast while he was at the summit. And the increasing presence of Russian planes and ships near or even in Western-European countries.

The Russians have always been good at saber rattling and often we look bad with our response. Heck, even the Cuban Blockade according to British MI, was said to have been to get us to expend energy to deflect the space program to mask the Russian advances in technology. We figured they could not hit us from Russia and had to put missiles in Cuba and the next thing they are doing is launching satellites. The missiles on the decks were decoys.
