hah ahah ahaha

welcome to the jungle, putin.

but it fits to the story that russia warns the US against (!!) retreating from afganistan .....now that the western boogeyman is leaving the world, stable-cracy russia is hard-pressed to make compromise and cooperate with radical islamists themselves.

i hope the global alliance of left/right-russia fanboys chokes on this news from geopolitical superpower russia meddling with radicals to produce peace.
