> self-delusion arrogance
What else do you expect from a country lead by a guy who rides bare chested on a horse in his campaign promos? I might be biased and all, being originally from Ukraine, but this effort is clearly grandstanding and nothing else. Remember, this is the same country where one of the main news anchors goes on TV regularly, and announces how Russia is the only country in the world with with will and the technology to wipe the United States off the face of the planet. Even the politburo back in the USSR days wasn't stupid enough to say something like that, not because it isn't true, but because they understood how mutually assured destruction works. The scary part is, it's possible that the leadership in Russia really is stupid enough to do it.

- x0054 11y agoYou are right, he is far from stupid, but he is rather self delusional and who knows if he is all there. Stalin wasn't stupid either, but the man was certifiably insane. Overall, it makes me so sad, because I think Russia could be such a grate country if it wasn't for their leadership. There many people inside Russia who think the same way, unfortunately they are oppressed and exterminated on regular bases. It's ironic that a country that requires bloggers to register with the government of face jail time is trying to make an open alternative phone operating system to safeguard the users data.
