Reports out there state that Putin is only 5'5"(1.65 m), although other reports out there state he is 5'7"(1.70 m) which I wouldn't be surprised were from Putin himself.

In comparison: Barack Obama is 6'1"(1.85 m), Bill Clinton is 6'2"(1.88 m), Viktor Yanukovych is 6'4"(1.93 m), and most of the male world leaders are taller than him, but hey, at least Dmitry Medvedev is 5'4"(1.62 m).

I guess now I know what he is overcompensating for...

Really short, looks like a hybrid of Frank Gorshin & Dobby. THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

(L to R: Dobby, Gorshie, Putie)

And his surname sounds like....


IMAGINE.......THE COMPLEXES.......... :P

And Gorshin played The RIDDLER. Is V-Poo trying to top him in super-villainy? Riddle me this, Batman!

(Dobby The House Elf also resembles a mix of Jamie Farr & Mohandas Gandhi. Poor sweet little Dobby doesn't deserve any of this.)

Amusingly, he's shorter than the actual Napoleon, who was approximately 5'9.

Why are they testing a missile? Got a link to the source you found this from?

Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

There are times I'm glad I don't have a TV, then there are times that I wish I had one. This is one of those times I wish I had one.

Stupid question to throw out there: From my understanding it seems that Russia wants to take over Ukraine? Is there even a remote possibility that this could throw us into World War III. Because if it does; it ain't going to be pretty.

Only over oil.  Putin really wants to reform the USSR.  It was why he pulled this shit with Georgia in '09, and now with the Ukraine.  Unfortunately for Russia, their military hardware is so out of date that it wouldn't take very long at all to really wreck his shit if it came to that.  A couple missiles fired at strategic points in Moscow (say, the Kremlin) and Putin would either be up against the wall getting shot by his own countrymen, or there'd be a military coup because a sizeable chunk of them are just as pissed off about this and they're wondering what the fuck he's doing.

Course, if I remember correctly, he's got Yamantau, which is at least as secure as Cheyenne Mountain, if not moreso, so he could keep his command structure and maybe some communicative ability if all hell broke loose.  Then again, so would we, and I highly doubt his idiotic, posturing antics have earned him any friends in the international community.  Other than Kim Jong-Un, maybe, but that motherfucker's insane, so we don't count him.

Meanwhile in Kiev(Kyiv), John Kerry has visited the capital to lend support to the new interim government.  He also stated that the U.S. was going to give 1 billion USD in aid to Ukraine.

Mrs. Filatova has made another post with a rather disturbing image of a decapitated body on a stretcher being carried away by policemen. I understand that she wants to document the sheer brutality that is occurring in Kiev and to show proof that she isn't making s**t up like with the Chernobyl story. Just that geez, how about a warning about the picture, Elena? 

She states in the post that around February 18th, people working alongside the police were scalping and beheading protestors.  She feels sure that the people responsible are not her fellow countrymen/women, and that war between Ukraine and Russia is imminent.  She also believes that Putin is insane.

She hasn't mentioned anything about John Kerry visiting Kiev yet.

BREAKING NEWS: All of this ruckus is Obama's fault because...


http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/lindsey-graham-ukraine-benghazi

...Apparently everything that happens in the world must somehow relate to USA. And if possible it must be Obama's fault.

In related news: "Falling from your chair due to laugher may cause pain, injuries."
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Ugh. Thanks, Obama.
