the point is –i know i’m driving this into the ground and breaking it off –what USA is doing now cannot possibly be a surprise. in fact it was very nearly inevitable, given the profile of the invasion.

So, one can defend this statement: If Putin did not want USA to do what it is doing, he would have done something different than tell sequenced lies to presidents, humiliate Sarkozy, and deliberately inflame western emotions by letting barbarians loose in full view, almost as a featured show, delivered to the best stage available.

If that statement can be defended, then …what? Then that writer of bobal’s ‘brainwashed’ link, hinting a surprise in store for America, knows something more than how to be a shitty jerk?
