Anyone else?

Thanks for being patient with me for not posting lately. Things here are hectic, to put it nicely.

But I did want to do a little poll and see if anyone else out there is a little concerned that Vladmir Putin is first testing out the "dad of all bombs" - which happens to be non-atomic yet four-times more powerful than one exploded by the U.S? And if that wasn't enough, there are reports today of him dissolving the entire government, just three months before elections were to be held...

Um, I'm no political whiz here, but I'm somewhat knowledgable in current affairs, etc. And I'm just thinking that this senario can't be good.
Is anyone else, or is it just me reading too much into dissolved governements, absolute power and really REALLY powerful bombs. I know the Cold War is over, but is it wrong to be concerned about all this?

To quote the greatest president of our age, Ronald Reagan, "trust but verify". Trust the Ruskies as much as you trust the ChiComs. And the Cold War may be over, but Putey (as GW calls him) has NOT been very warm to us lately. Part of his trouble is we asked some of the old Soviet block countries to join NATO. He feels that is a big threat. So it's back to the future with the USSR/Russian Federation/Mother Russia. If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
