This is only the beginning of what the World can expect from a Russia with money! Russia was always aggressive this way, Russia just never had the money before their recent oil and natural gas boom to be this way! A Russia with money to fuel its agenda is extremely dangerous, and Russia has a lot of old scores to settle, the World just might as well get ready!

Czar Vladimir II has Georgia on his mind. The empire strikes back. The Czar is protecting a handful of pro-Russian provocateurs that attacked and killed Georgian police in the province of South Ossetia.

He sent over 100 tanks and warplanes to attack the former Soviet puppet of Georgia. Deja vu all over again.

Meanwhile, back at Reich Headquarters.....

Thirty-four years ago today, Richard Nixon was forced from office as a result of mounting public anger, which in turn fueled the bipartisan intent of Congress to impeach him, due to his involvement in the relatively minor Watergate crimes. Accountability of that sort for our highest political leaders is today inconceivable.

Rather than investigate and punish violations of the Constitution and other laws, our political class conceals those crimes for as long as it can, endorses them when they are disclosed, and then acts to protect the lawbreakers. Public opinion is steadfastly ignored, rendered virtually irrelevant. Congress has deliberately made itself completely impotent, while the sprawling Executive enjoys virtual omnipotence and freedom from any real accountability. Laws are written not just for, but literally by, the largest corporations and their lobbyists -- even including, as we recently witnessed, laws that have no purpose other than to immunize them from consequences when they are caught deliberately breaking our laws.

Just go grease some bearings on one of your oil rigs George; what Russia does is none of our concern, or more so, BUSINESS!
