The Most Influential Man on Earth
PUTIN - and he didn't have to drop a bomb to get there.
Sure, Russia has plenty of weapons - the latest of which travels 2000 meters per second. But, that's beside the point.
For the most part, he doesn't need to use them.
They are what they were designed to be - deterrents. And they work like a charm.
But, not without the guidance and leadership of a SANE man with a vision that INCLUDES the welfare of OTHER PEOPLE on earth.
He's got China. He has India. He just got back from the Middle East. And now, he's wooing Japan:
“I believe that special attention should be given at present to a qualitative build-up of trade and the economic interaction, increase in investments, including in the regions of Urals, Siberia and the Russian Far East.
We have all necessary objective prerequisites for this: the economy of Russia and Japan is on rise, [unlike others we know] positive dynamics of the bilateral trade turnover is keeping, business circles are interested in new mutually beneficial projects,” Putin said.
You see, it's very easy to win friends and influence people when you CARE about what happens to them.
Or, even if you don't "care" per se - at least, there is mutual respect for one another's right to live and prosper unmolested on the earth upon which we were all born.
In a few short years, through logic and reason, Putin has managed to assume the defacto role of the most influential man on earth.
He renationalized Russia's energy industry and lifted his nation out of debt. He's turned gambling casinos into reading rooms. He's given hope to young couples who want to have kids. And he's gotten rid of the traitors within their midst.
In short, he's a blessing for Russians.
Like it or not, Russia is still a superpower.
It has the knowledge, it has the power, and thanks to Putin's impeccable diplomacy - it has the friends it needs to lift Asia, and possibly the world, out of the darkness that threatens to envelope us all.

The totalitarian streak in the US
During the Cold War, the economies and cultures of the two great protagonists were not that different. The US adopted a "totalitarian" mobilization of resources to win the struggle. The fragmentation of US society today, the departure from the healthy "semi-totalitarian" arrangements of the 1930s-1950s, makes the US increasingly unable to prevail in any new struggle.

Stalin would be proud of the Busheviks.

Boy did the Bush Regime blow it with Japan. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe came out of nowhere and was elected last September by harping on the “abduction” issue. From 1977 to 1983, the North Korean government kidnapped several dozen Japanese citizens. North Korea formally apologized (several times) and returned most of them, starting in 2002.
Shinzo Abe harped on this, and kissed Bush’s ass. He talked tough against North Korea. He broke most oil agreements with Iran. He agreed to U.S. missile bases in Japan. He did everything that Bush and his Israeli masters demanded.
Then Bush threw him under the bus by lifting sanctions from North Korea! Shinzo Abe went from a 70% popularity rating down to 30%.
Cheney went to Japan to schmooze Shinzo Abe, but refused to meet with Japan’s defense minister Fumio Kyuma, who has been critical of the Bush regime.
BOTTOM LINE:
Japan trusted Bush and his Zionist handlers, and was betrayed.
Therefore Putin swept in.
The “most influential man on earth”?
Yes indeed.
