Re: Putin the Magnificent: Series 2 - Putin's Russia

Coming from a country as imperialist warlike as yours took you a while to be able to reply but shouldn't have bothered as you are a chld of the Cold war mentality that Americans always loved. . At least Crimea was Russian whereas you lot think you can invade anywhere and come out with the usual childish nonsense of it being to your country's "security." That so many over the water accept this tripe emphasises the deep educational problem in the land of the free and home of the brave (giggle). Your chums do not like any country that challenges or you cannot control so well done Putin and he should keep it up as there is not a damn thing you lot of war merchants can do. Having written to two Presidents elsewhere might give him a thought!
Meantime do try harder to get out of the Cold War mental midget thing.
We learned from the master. How many countries were some form of satellite during the height of the British Empire? I'm sure I could look it up fast enough but it amuses me to make you tell us. I seem to recall reading-- here on DnD no less--- that at one time or another the British Empire had boots in all but---hmmm, less than a score of other countries weren't invaded by the British at one time or another-- everybody else was..
I point out, too, that much of this empire was built at a time when the only way to get from one place to another was either by horse (if over land) or by sailing-ship (if over water, or if it made sense-- as it often did-- to take a ship rather than a horse). Only birds and angels of God flew back in those days.
So--- pot calling the kettle black much?
