Russia, What You Should Know

Well, for one that Bush I and Clinton helped get us to where we are now so, no, it's not all Shrubya's fault. That the neocons are and have been for years salivating at the thought of confrontation.

That you don't have to take my word for any of this. There are actually people who know things that you can rely on.
