?????????

These are no coincidences. This is exactly what happens when dictators are tolerated.
So big thanks to the International Olympic Committee for raising self-esteem of the Kremlin aggressors.
Big thanks to all Western leaders, who refused to boycott the shameful event in Sochi, thus making the criminals feel invulnerable.
Big thanks to the patriotic American and South Korean athletes who assumed Russian citizenship and did a great PR-job for the Empire of Evil.

Date: 2/3/14 07:18 (UTC)Everybody knows that Russian "army" is outdated, weak and corrupted. All soldiers are conscripted dystrophics, sergeants are drunks, leutenants want to become colonels because colonels think only about making profits from selling army property. Any Chechen field commander can disrupt Russian radio communications and give his own orders to misled Russian troops. Russia has inflated tanks in its army and it`s not a fake! Former Defence Minister Serdiukov has finally completely disorganised what was left of Russian "army", his lover - Evgenia Vassilieva - was the head of the Department of Army Property is now under house arrest waiting for the court.
Beating Russian army is a piece of cake. So why doesn`t the West give Tsar Vladimir what he deservers? The answer is simple: the West now needs Putin.
Alas, Democracy!

Date: 2/3/14 08:01 (UTC)"There has been very little animosity directed towards Ahn since his nationality switch."
"A poll conducted by Gallup Korea on 1,215 adults last November found 61 percent understood Ahn's decision to become a naturalized Russian. "Given his situation, the decision to give up the citizenship of his mother country sounds like an unavoidable choice..." wrote 27-year-old Internet poster Will Kim.""
"...the KSU had "alienated an athlete whose athletic ability is rarely seen even in a span of 100 years.""
Says Viktor Ahn himself,
"I wanted to train in the best possible environment and I proved my decision was not wrong".

Seems like Vic Ahn's decision has little to do with Russia, Putin, Hitler or anything of the sort. It was prompted by internal organizational woes in his own country - the same way the dismal state of sports in my country compels dozens of top-class athletes to move to greener pastures.
As do many Russian athletes, by the way.

Date: 2/3/14 11:12 (UTC)In 1906, a large meteorite explodes above the ground in a remote part of Siberia, flattening 2000 sq km of forest and causing glowing sunsets for many days in a row.
In 2014, a second popular uprising in post-Soviet era Ukraine deposes president Yanukovych and results in the creation of a new government.
In 2015?...
(The only logical conclusion).
