When a purported “superpower” has no option but to point a gun at another superpower’s head and demand of him that he be acknowledged as a superpower, this means the purported “superpower” is still only a thug.

And what a rush these Russians are in for this acknowledgment. They think just this one action in Georgia makes them a superpower and, suddenly, the U.S. should be ready to surrender.

This is the liberal’s fault. If they hadn’t kept making us go to the U.N. a thousand times more than necessary to kneel before the Russians and beg them not to wield their veto, their heads wouldn’t have gotten so big. They FEEL like a superpower, and they forget that it was us who saved their economy and their currency after the collapse of their empire.
