This is an obvious statement, nothing special. Not to me. However, those who say that NATO is nothing, take heed.

Or else Putin wouldn't send his man to the media to say this. As a kid who grew having to get in the fetal position at school once a week, and told we'd die anyway, I say: MEH!

Another fine production of the Czar of all Russia, Vladimir Putin (Oil-igarch Imperialist).
