So, let’s see what’s going on.

Rattling sabres, or just flexing, Russia claims it’s going to build a space-based missile-defense system and upgrade its nuclear submarines.

And laughing at the U.S. and defiling the grave of James Monroe, she’s giving a billion-dollar line of credit for arms and proliferating nuclear technology to Venezuela. (If the latter goes anywhere, look for the Brazilians to restart their mothballed Bomb project, and the Argentinians to probably jump on board as well.)

But don’t worry, the West is united and resolute! Oh, my bad.

And, of course, they’ve managed to give their other vicious dictatorship client, Iran, yet more breathing room to develop the nukes the Russians have been helping them develop.

Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu.
