NSA surveillance program reaches ‘into the past’ to retrieve, replay phone calls - The Washington Post

Russia's big mistake will undo decades of peaceful progress because Putin has an inferiority complex? No one trusts a give-it-back nation.... Putin diminishes those leaders of Russia, who recognized past wrongs despite their ruthlessness. Putin does not get it?

All bets are off for international cooperation in the face of Putin's grab for Crimea. He wants to reverse a clock, but he does not see the realities of the modern world. He is such a slime creator.

Such a confusing world?

No respect now internationally for Russia, who hosted the recent Olympics. It was all for show. Such hypocrisy! We are so great Russia says. We are really so lost. Bastard expression of crocodile love for sport!

Russia is the big loser in a strong world that recognizes economics rather than military excursions.  What next, Canada invade Pierre de M. Copy cat aggression really does lead to world war and Russia has not learned any lessons of its own shameful past as home to a bad bad history of oppression and aggression. The wolf is a wolf and the world recognizes that, despicable as it is. 

The world is forever changed and Putin is too stupid to realize his dangerous mistakes. Idiot Tsars bring responses far in excess of original expectations no matter how seemingly justified.

Might is not right, it just produces entities that are mightier and more dangerous. 

Russia realizes that world war is now inevitable...

Putin creates the modern Fascists he supposedly hates.

Maybe the Tartars should now reclaim the Crimea from Russia. Were they the original Russians?  

By his actions, Putin has destroyed a flower, and will reap poison. 

There are better ways to do politics and Putin is a stupid stupid idiot.

Putin is not so great at war games. He moved too quickly and fouled the field.

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
