A Brief Editorial:

The 'Threat' that is Russia.

In the last couple of years Putin -the Pseudo Tsar- has started to play silly buggers. Russia now has an income from oil and gas that it never had when the Iron Curtain was in place, and seems to be using the confidence of a full bank account to start messing with the world again.

Recently they have started to resupply their old allies Syria and Lybia with new military kit. They will shortly be holding military exercises with Venezuela in the Gulf of Mexico which will involve nuclear subs. Is this willy waving? You tell me? It is challenging the US in their own backyard knowing that Bush is on the way out and Obama hasn't the balls for a fight? Obama as freely stated that he wants to cut military spending and do away with missile defence and nuclear weapons so what do our enemies have to fear?

Iran will use the transition period to increase their influence in Iraq and may challenge the US Navy in the Gulf. If Obama fails to make a stand during this period all hell may break loose come Spring.

Russia/Putin will continue to back our enemies through weapon sales and the UN and will continue to shit stir knowing that Europe, the UN and right now the US are paralysed by socialism and bullshit human right legislation.

The bullies of the world will prevail while good men dither.
