Putin Says United States Is 'Very Dangerous' Nation
Vladimir Putin has described the United States as "very dangerous" and says its increased use of military force is creating a new arms race. "Unilateral actions have not resolved conflicts but have made them worse," Putin said, adding that force should only be used when backed by the United Nations Security Council. "This is not about confrontation, it's an invitation to think," he told reporters.
He attacked the United States for what he said was its "almost uncontained" use of force around the world. "One state, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way,"
My fellow Progressive Blogger, Rolling Back the Tide of Extremism, One Post at a Time has some great thoughts on this topic as well.

Putin's no prize himself, but he's right.

I wish that Putin would have phrased it that 'Bush is very dangerous' - that would be closer to the truth, I think.

Good show, Putin! Hell will freeze over before our cowardly and treasonous government says the same. We have been seeing a lot of anti-Russian propaganda in the mass media of late. I am sure it is connected with Russia's independent stance toward the US.

Not a fan of Putin myself but I cannot fault him for speaking the truth. Someone has to.
