Sounds kinda like “Back to the Future” to me. So, with apologies to Pete Townsend:

Meet the new Rus
Same as the old Rus

    I feel sorry for the people in those areas. Those militias are good for one thing only, and that’s producing mass graves.

    Let me change my name to something Latino-sounding. I want somma those Ruskie weapons & ammo. Think it’ll work?

      The People’s Popular Front For The Liberation of The Democratic Resistance of Collecivist Union appeal to our Socialist Comrade Bretheren. Ammunition is urgently needed to ensure Revolutionary Zeal and Fellowship as expressed in Good Marxist-Marksmanship. Long live the Glorious Revolution of Seventy Six!

    When I read the title, I thought John F’ing Kerry had gained access to post here on TAH. He is highly decorated and, I heard, served in VN.

      Incredibly, there is actual footage of Kerry on patrol in the jungle. It is amazing, a near miracle that at the very moment that he is bravely walking point, heroically ensuring the safety of absolutely no one, a cameraman was present to record the deed for posterity. Gosh. What a guy.

        That little stroll was in 1992.

        He somehow remembered the metal mats that fighter jets sat on in the interior at one airbase he’d never been to. What a memory he must have, for stuff he never did!

    Didn’t Putin write about doing exactly this in his doctoral thesis, or am I thinking of someone else?

    At least, the fool is a consistent fool.

    I fail to understand why he has such a ‘tude toward Israel. Is it because joooos? I’d really like to know, because my sister is Jewish and she voted for the Fool on the Hill… back in the beginning. I don’t discuss politics with her, but still….

    ‘Toljaso’ is never a welcome reminder.
