   It's an excellent idea.  However, there isn't much left of Russia's   
   much vaunted military, around 30,000 dead so far and twice that number   
   wounded and missing.   
      
   That cunt in New Bedford should take heed of what Romney said - you   
   are either with us or with Russia, you can't be both.   
      
   Putin has cancer in any case, evidently.  Hope he dies in massive pain   
   and then some sort of god creates a special hell, just for him  :)
