You mean and cause Putin to start WWIII?!

All morning I was having flashbacks of Bush's "mushroom cloud" speech.  This is mushroom cloud 2.0.  

The one scary thing about this that always leaves open the possibility is ... what does he have to lose by doing it?  Nada.  Yikes.

Bush: "So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."

Nice planet you have here, it would be a pity if something irreparable were to happen to it. Changing topics: have you thought again about joining Uncle Sam's boycott of the Persian?

Fortunately, Putin doesn't have a track record of being bullied into things.

Unfortunately, I have no evidence that Putin is any less a nihilist than Bush.

You know, Bush should know better than to try to bully a black-belt judoka. Before he knows it he may find himself with his back on the tatami.

LM over on the Group News Blog explained this entertainingly, if not very politely.
