The Rise Of "The Bear"

You know, 15 years ago I got a lot of flak from my more liberal Massachusetts friends regarding my supposed paranoia over what I considered the imminent return of Russia. Even some of my Conservative friends thought I was crazy because I believed “the Bear” wasn’t dead he was asleep.

10 years ago I wrote about a resurgent “Bear” and what I thought its new alliance with the Germans was going to bring about for the world.

5 years ago I wrote about Vladimir Putin and his work in putting the old Soviet Military back on the map.

3 years ago I wrote about the then newfound spirit of co-operation between Russia and Iran regarding oil production and sales.

2 years ago I wrote a brief blurb about British fighters being scrambled because of Russian bombers in British airspace.

Less than 1 year ago I wrote about the Russian bombers being sent to Venezuela.

Less than 1 year ago I wrote about Russian President Medvedev’s assertion that he would invade Georgia if he felt like it and whether NATO liked it or not.

3 days ago I wrote about Venezuela’s attempts to gear up for war with Colombia and mentioned Russia’s increased military presence.

Today I found an article HERE about 2 Russian Akula class subs patrolling our Eastern Seaboard.

“The Bear” is on the rise again and we are sinking under the weight of our own crap.
