Speaking of which, how is it that the "rebel" side is better-armed 7 or 8 out of 10 times than the Ukrainian side? I thought they had just stolen Ukrainian military hardware. I guess they stole the best and let the Ukrainians keep the scrap.

That's what the did to start with and we saw that the Ukrainians could have crushed them if that's all they had...

It will be interesting to see how much more economic pain Putin/Russia can stand. Reported to be down to $200 billion in reserves by end of year. They're burning through their cash at warp speed. Oil prices are crushing them, wages are in a free fall and most economist believe they will be in a serious recession in short order. Their "Central Bank" is throwing everything and the kitchen sink at their economic problems. They have few tools left in the tool box. And now this assassination of an opposition leader. Russians have backed Putin in his move against Ukraine, but I wonder if this confluence of events will start to change their opinion of how smart his moves really were. The U.S. and it's allies should continue to apply even more pressure and watch these Ruskies turn on him like a pack of wild dogs. Although it could get bloody....it is Russia after all.

Russia has $200-400 billion in reserves. The US has $18 trillion in debt. Who is in a better fiscal position?

this is completely new. I haven't heard this before.

After all, unlike Chile’s Allende, Italy’s Moro, Congo’s Lumumba, Venezuela’s Chavez, Indonesia’s Sukarno, America’s Franklin Roosevelt, Walter Reuther, at least six members of the Kennedy clan, and thousands of other friends of the people everywhere, Russia has an impressive arsenal of nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles.

really none of the Kennedy's had access to nukes? and again why bring up nukes at all? warmongering?

Given this bloody, incontestable history of assassinations of world leaders, given moreover Russia’s nuclear arsenal, is it not likely that the masters of the CIA would try to bring Putin down in a more subtle way?

i like how the Russian media is disclaiming that American media had the murder figured out so soon after it happened and yet the Russian Media has figured out how it was America that did it in the same amount of time.

Will you stop asking such logical, thought provoking questions?

This is the thing that gets me. Is Putin ready to admit Obama's CIA pulled off an assassination right under the watchful eye of the Kremlin? I mean if we really want to go down that road this would make little Vlad look impotent to have a cell hanging around knocking off top profiled people a block away from Putin's office.

Poor Vladimir Putin. All he wants to do is forget about his past in the Soviet KGB and be the leader of all Russian peoples.

I like how the Raimondo source references American assassinations from 50-60 years ago like that proves some sort of point.

I liked the geneticist better. Seeing the background of that guy and you being a prof yourself, perhaps you should publish some articles and Pacer and Ras will quote you as well. I can ghostwrite some info if need be. Between a prof and a professional coup artist we could write some intense articles for these guys.

Cool pics.

I was honestly expecting the Tennessee River to at least have some ice floating down it by mid to late last week, but I don't believe it ever did. With one or two exceptions, we were basically below freezing for two entire weeks. Makes you wonder how consistently cold it has to be to get scenes like those from the Great Lakes and New York harbor.

Well, as I've said here before, I have read a 600-page book on Russian history. Practically makes me an expert.

With all the worlds eyes on Russia lately, why in the world would Putin need to knock off a guy who won only 14% of the votes in the Sochi mayoral election? This guy was a nobody.

Do you not think that Russian intelligence is no more sophisticated than shooting a man in front of the kremlin? This makes it even more obvious that it wasn't an inside job.

The whole thing was created purposely to happen just the way it did, when it did(2 days before an opposition rally) to cause a media frenzy.

Are you guys really this naive?!

I find it extremely sad you know that man's name specifically.

Please tell me you had to at least do a search for "Pee Wee Herman Actor" or something.
