    About 20 minutes long and potentially NSFW (lots of violence).

    Makes me proud to be an American. This is why ultranationalistic ideals are some of the most dangerous ideals that exist.

    Note: Notice what the goverment member has on his clothing.

    Russia annoys me these days - the Chinese need to get their house in order and start guarding the back door.

    It is a shame what's happened to Russia under Putin. I wonder what Bush really saw in his eyes.

    Yet the Russians would vote for him if they could to another term. Why? Because he improved their lives, "it's the economy,stupid,". Democracy without improve people's lives is hard to sustain.

    That is true. Russia mistakenly followed the pure market gurus from the West that ****ed up the early days of reform making the average person's life miserable while greatly enriching a small elite.

    Democracy has been tarnished in Russia by being associated with robber baron capitalism.

    Russia and China are not at odds. In fact, looks like their comradeship is developing again ;)

    If anything, what's happening in Russia will just push the US and China closer together again (out of necessity).

    Remember the US and China relationship deteriorate slowly and gradually after the loss of a common enemy when the Cold War ended and the Russian Empire started disintegrating?

    The re-emergency of the threat from Russia will pull USA and China to work together again to contain it.
