"Brevity is the Soul of Wit"

I can, for a change, put it very succinctly. Remember when Osama bin Laden was killed, (or so they tell us) and all the young yahoos gathered outside the White House chanting: "USA! USA!?" Well, according to several reports, the more revolting Russian nationalists have been chanting "Rossiya! Rossiya!" ("Russia, Russia!). Same kind of jingoistic horseshit, just a different channel on a different day. "Under glittering chandeliers in a Kremlin hall – and with his audience chanting 'Russia! Russia!'– Russian President Vladimir Putin ignored sanctions imposed by the West and went ahead Tuesday with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/globe-in-ukraine-russian-annexation-of-crimea-turns-bloody/article17560229/
