Why does Putin hate Europe?
"What kind of steps are we going to take in response? Of course, we are going to get new targets in Europe." Time for the French to wring their hands, and ask probing, deeply introspective questions as to what on Earth might they have done to provoke Pooty's wrath. Time to get on all fours and beg for mercy. Or perhaps, pooh-pooh the whole thing as just some Molotov-cocktail rattling? Dilemmas, dilemmas.

Not sure what Sarkozy will do, but if it was a Chirac or Mitterand in there would bet on a quiet bit of "nuanced and sophistacated" begging for a modest exchange of oil vouchers for a recovered appreciation of the arts of appeasement
By the way, is Kouchner any better than Vile Pine & the gang? He seemed decent enough when it came to humanitarian concerns, but when it comes to dealing with the Capo di Tutti Cappi, my hunch is that he's beyond his depth.
Wiki's take:
The French spelling of Putin's last name, "Poutine" is identical to the name of a French-Canadian fast-food dish.
The Portuguese pronounciation of Putin's last name is much similar to the diminutive of the word puto, whose slang meaning is irritated. President Lula of Brazil said once that, upon hearing the news that Brazilian slaughterhouses were bribing Russian authorities to be allowed to export meat to that country, "certainly President Putin was kind of putin with Brazil."
the other super-wacko is escalating dubbyah's misguided atempt at missile presence in europe in our backyard? this is not good.
unlike aq, the ruskies can do real damage.
But you still haven't answered my question: what are the Euros gonna do, besides wring their hands?
nothing is a good guess.
the two morons playing chicken at europe's expense is really bad news. but as troubling as it is, this is a problem that will likely vanish with the upcoming change of the american guard.
Right. We'll get another "only true democrat" like Putin in the WH if you have anything to say about it, Pepe.
i won't have anything to say about it, but a democrat is less likely to want to plant missiles in europe - the catalyst in this confrontation.
