When a ex KGB agent says you're being too collectivist, that should tell you something. Wouldn't it just be a shitload of irony if we have another cold war with Russia as the capitlist superpower against the socialist USA.

While there may be truth to what Putin says, you have to look at his real motives.

He wants the USA to spend less on its military. He is being entirely self serving.

No reason to worry about a Russian Capitalist superpower anytime either- Russia is an economic basket case- its economy was propped up by high oil prices. When oil prices crashed, the Russian economy essentially disappeared.

I don't have to tell you that Putin is hardly a capitalist- if he doesn't like you, he'll essentially nationalize your business (as he did with Lukos- and he sent the CEO, Russia's richest man, to Siberia). Russia, unfortunately, is looking more and more like a dictatorship every day.

Putin says some wise words, but what are his motives and what is he NOT telling us.

He sure isn't telling us how wonderful a dictator he would be or how he enjoys killing renagade journalist.

This is not the first time. He told Bush the same thing to his face in a conference not too long ago.

Ahh the irony is just too painful to even laugh at.

For the record I was joking. Obviously I know Putin's no friend of capitalism or liberty.

I would take Putin over Obsama or Bidden any day, Putin has done allot for his people and the youth... Not to say he is an angel....

"Putin to the West: Take Your Medicine (And don't go socialist)"

There's nothing surprising about any of this.

Thanks for the interesting link. Let me proffer one in return: to Justin Raimondo's Antiwar.com editorial of 2 Feb. 2009, "Putin to the West: Take Your Medicine (And don't go socialist)."

One interesting quotation by Raimondo:

"In short, the malinvestment engaged in during the bubble years must be liquidated. The longer we try to conserve enterprises supposedly 'too big to fail,' the more painful and prolonged will be the process of economic recovery. This is precisely what libertarians such as Ron Paul...have been saying all along."
