Sweet.
In what might have been either a Freudian slip or an innocent mistake but was no doubt a diplomatic gaffe, Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday assailed Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko's campaign for using "anti-Russian, Zionist" slogans.
The US supports Israel. Russia supports the Arabs. None of this messy stateless global terrorism garbage. It couldn't be simpler. Unfortunately, the Russians are saying it was a slipup, not geniune hostility. Oh well, hope springs eternal.
UPDATE: Some of my readers, while no doubt being genuine and right-thinking souls, are not good with sarcasm. No, I don't really want to see an Israeli-Russian war.
