One of
my favorite memories of the Cold War, while dad was maintaining Falcon
air-to-air missiles up in Alaska, was Slim Pickens waving his cowboy hat as he
used his body to navigate a nuclear missile right down to its Russian target
after warning the crew that they were facing noo-clear combat toe-to-toe with
the Russkies.
Or as
Donald Fagen of Steely Dan put it: “Yes
we're gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It's just a dugout that my dad built
In case the reds decide to push the button down. We've got provisions and lots of beer. The key word is survival on the new frontier”

And
then there was being with the commies on Y2K night at NORAD. I remember being
the journalist whisperer: Major. Should we be letting these guys in the war
room? No worries. They won’t get to really see anything he replied. Well, there
was one missile fired that night by the Reds, but it was just a theater device
_ not meant for the Yankee Imperialists (Chechens).
And now
for something completely different. The point of this story.
The U.S. Secretary of State saoid Russian voters deserve a full investigation of electoral fraud and manipulation.
Vladimir Putin got his rear kicked in recent parliamentary elections though he his United Russian did hold on. And he is blaming Hillary Clinton. The sexy Russian better hurry or the French profession that his name sometimes is transliterated to will be banned. He might even have to arm the Anna Chapmans of the Russian secret service. Russian voters deserve a full investigation of electoral fraud and manipulation."

Or, as
speculated by Ljubica Vujadinovic, the
Ukraine might be persuaded to legalize prostitution. But that’s another story.
The
friction between Clinton, who I would bet on in a street fight despite the
Russian’s reported black belt, stems largely from his government’s insistence on
supporting world dictators. After losing in Libya why go on to support Syria?
But the
real disgust is that Clinton dared to suggest Russia’s election was on the same
standard used by these and other dictators.
For months, Mikhail Gorbachev, who broke Russia free from
the Iron Curtain has been warning his countrymen and women that Put will take
Moscow back to the Cold War Days. He said last week’s election was a fraud and a
fresh vote should be held.
You've made some good points here. Since Vlad. has come into power, it is generally accepted that the old KGB in a new guise is running the place. Hillary was less than diplomatic in calling out the election like she did. It was ineffective and looked like outside interference. She might have made points in the US, but at what diplomatic cost. The cold war was a time of unremitting terror for everyone and as the nuclear club continues to grow, cunning diplomacy is what is necessary to keep the peace.
