I strongly disagree. It's old school propaganda, mixing up as many factoids as Pravda could scavenge, into a angry diatribe of insults. My point is, and has always been, the last thing the United States wants is to provoke Russia by inventive that serves no purpose other than foster xenophobia on both sides, but particularly in Moscow. Mittens walked right in and threw punches that served no purpose at all, other than the narrowest of partisan politics.

As I asked in my first post, "Is Romney truly clueless, or just completely irresponsible?" I fear it is the former, or both.
