These four photos say it all. On Sunday, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was with a group of scientists in the Dalny Vostok (Russian Far East) and a Siberian tiger pounced on the scientists. Prime Minister Putin cooly picked up a tranquiliser gun and brought down the beast. He later helped the scientists to put a radio collar on the tiger. Vova brings down the tiger… Cheney shoots his friend on the hunt… Hmm… I know who I want at my back!

I nearly died of sheer exhilaration when I saw this in the news a couple of days ago. This is, by far, the most awesome thing I’ve heard this year!

Don’t know if this received much TV coverage. I wonder if it’d be on all the channels if Putin had accidentally shot a fellow hunter.
As if that would ever happen to a hunter.
Oh wait….

I can’t pretend to have a strong knowledge about what’s going on between Russia and Georgia. I’ve heard it called a power grab, I’ve heard that it was about self defense, safety and liberating some neighboring states…
I did just skim through an article about him on Wikipedia. It sounds like he’s done some amazing things for Russia (hopefully good for everyone else too).
But, regardless of it all, that’s pretty amazing.

Thats excellent.
And Putin killed another tiger in Georgia, and I dont mean the poor Georgian people, or the mercenaries employed by their government,
I mean the foreign corruption NGOs that conduct intelligence operations, regime change,and fund para military conflict all over the border regions of russia.
They almost bought russia with the drunk Yeltsin selling it out to the robbers, but Putin stopped that. Then they tried to sabotage it financially, and doing their best today to do it again ( look at the russian markets).
And if the soros foundations succeed and we have a new old war, nothing will happen except the russian and aerican people will suffer under a new arms race while the corporartions selling arms will laugh all the way to the bank.
achieving nothing for the people involved.
a disgusting form of international criminal behvior.
funded and directed by humanitarians controlled and finaced by the same such corporations.

I find this moment really symbolic.
Nothing else can beat this. Action speaks louder than words and this overexamplifies the phrase “a picture paints a thousand words.”

As an American who has fled the USA partly because of the almost criminally insane efforts by the neo-cons to start a war with Russia, I agree with the writer completely.
If Putin could only be elected President of the USA . . .
