In my opinion the two greatest men in history when it comes to foreign policy but which do you think was better? I personally think Kennan edges out Kissinger by just a bit.

But when is the official Sep7agon sex tape coming out?

Like why do you like all that fur mang? What's the real reason?

A tired Vladimir Putin has left Brisbane’s G20 praising the summit’s “constructive atmosphere” and saying the reported fallout between him and leaders of Western countries were exaggerated by the media.

Putin was the first world leader to leave Australia, his jet taking off shortly after 2pm local time.

The Russian president told reporters from his own country he was the first to go because he had to get back to Moscow to work, and he needed “four or five hours sleep”.

But Putin remained defiant over Russian interests in Ukraine, saying Kiev’s economic blockade of the separatist east was “a big mistake”, though “not fatal”.

“I don’t understand why Kiev authorities are cutting off those territories with their own hands. Well one can understand – to save money. But it’s not the time or the case to save money on,” he said.

Western leaders have queued up at G20 to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine, in particular supporting and arming separatist rebels, and for Russia’s perceived complicity in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

In his closing remarks, the Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, told reporters he had had “a very candid and robust discussion” with Putin at Apec in Beijing, and that he suspected several leaders had had similar talks with the Russian leader at the G20.

“I have some differences with the Russian government, obviously,” Abbott said. “I don’t agree, in fact I utterly deplore, what’s happening in eastern Ukraine. I demand Russia fully cooperates with the criminal investigation into the downing of MH17.”

But Abbott said Putin was Australia’s invited guest for the G20 summit, and was treated as such.

“President Putin was a guest in our country, and I was a happy to treat him with respect and courtesy while he was here in Australia.”

The conflict in eastern Ukraine has killed more than 4000 people this year.

The UK prime minister, David Cameron, said he did not believe a new Cold War front was emerging, but that he was “robust” in his comments to the Russian leader, while the Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper, said he told Putin bluntly to “get out of Ukraine”.

But Putin said there was a “good chance of resolution” of the Ukrainian conflict, and played down concerns military activity was escalating in the region.

He said discussion of Ukraine at the G20 was frank and informative.

“Some of our views do not coincide, but the discussions were complete, constructive and very helpful.”

In previous interviews, the Russian president has said he wants “normal relations with our partners, including the United States and Europe”, even as they threatened further sanctions.

Putin said his early departure from the Brisbane summit was unrelated to perceived tensions with other leaders.

He said he spoke personally to the Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, and explained he had to undertake an 18-hour flight to get home before going back to work on Monday.

“We have to fly from here to Vladivostok nine hours, and then from Vladivostok to Moscow, another nine hours,” Putin told reporters.

“I came to Tony and told him about it, he understood this. There are no other considerations.”

WHY ARE YOU CRYING YOU LITTLE BITCH?

 

So I was reading a few books by George F. Kennan who is basically the godfather when it comes to knowledge of why Russia, specifically the Soviet Union, behaves the way it does. Now most countries have the same motivations when it comes to colonization, that being an increase in capital via resources and taxation of new settlers. However Russia has never held these views as their primary motivation for colonization. You can look at all Russian leaders going back from Ivan the Terrible to Vladimir Lenin to Joseph Stalin to Nikita Khrushchev they all wanted the same thing, that being land between them and their enemies. The Russian people are extremely xenophobic, probably some of the most xenophobic people in the world. They want as much land between them and their enemies as possible. This was a predominant reason why Eastern Europe was such a vital area to the Soviets. They wanted a giant buffer zone between them and their enemies, the West (France, Germany, UK, and the US). This can also be said for North Korea as it acted as a buffer zone between our capitalist controlled South Korea and Japan. The Russians know they're inferior to the West in every way and they're scared for that reason. Now I'm not saying that this is their only motivation for colonization but it is their primary motivation. They of course wanted their capital gains just as any country especially during their communist rule as communism must continually expand to avoid collapsing on itself.

I figured this would be an interesting subject to bring up especially with Premier Putin's recent actions throughout the world. So thoughts on this?
