The hegemon must be stopped.

And now, for today's particular Western lie exposed (sadly, just another of so many):
----- Major Allegations Against Russian President Now Being Questioned (Part I) Putin, it turns out, was "probably" not responsible for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko.

So, it seems that, maybe, perhaps, Litvinenko wasn't directly assassinated by the FSB (or whatever the Russian security service calls itself these days...). I mean, maybe he wasn't, but who gives a fuck? Even if the polonium didn't originate in Russia (I think they were able to pin-point which reactor it came out of, but setting that aside..), I still can't understand cheerleading for ANY of the major nation-states out there... they are all some twist on the same corrupt, nepotic, oligarchic/plutocratic template. Even if Putin is the fucking hero of the world (because he didnt kill Litvinenko, makes good speeches, doesn't take bribes), there's still all sorts of absurd shit going on in that country and in EVERY OTHER country in the world. Do you really think Putin wants to destroy American hegemony without utterly replacing it? -- John
