@ Twunt Putin did that when he outmanoeuvred the US after Syria gassed their civilians. Obama was going to airstrike, Putin used the UN and spiked the US plans.

Putin very smart man, That time he played hard man in Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions crashed their already piss poor economy.

he outmanouverd Obama, now I don’t like that he did but I will not let that dislike hide the fact that he is clever and dangerous. oh by the way sanctions are mothers milk to a Russian people that went through the collapse of the Soviet Union
What exactly is the point your making. Italy have the fourth largest economy in Europe, so in terms of, just economy size, comparing countries they are mighty. Its why their economy and banks will get much better help than say Greece did and Italy needing proper help is on the way.

will they take their stupid knighthood (KBE : knight of the British empire ffs!) off sir mobot when the public accept that his special talent is avoiding drug testers for whatever reason.

The Brits absolutely hate having their own heroes questioned. Sir Bradley Wiggins of course is special and unique in the world of cycling.

He has ATHSMA. Just like all the other top cyclists.

Happy New Year y’all :)

Well said the Clampers. Perhaps we could all try to be a little less judgmental, and a little more kind in 2017. Happy New Year (they may say I’m a dreamer……)

Who are you judging? You talking about us?

Nice try (barely), but no cigar. Just keep on keeping on, you steaming pile of resentment.
Although Putin is clearly a dictator in a diplomatically elected politicians clothing, you have to love.
absolutely, it certainly made me smile today, kind of worrying at the same time that the whole thing looks like a celebrity spat
RT have him idolised like a demigod celebrity, Gerry Adams would be proud..
Over the past few months Putin has made Obama look indecisive, ineffectual and petulant.
Because Obama is an actual adult who doesn’t resort to childish strongman tactics like Putin or Trump?
so he looks indecisive, ineffectual and petulant because he is an adult?
Twunt, darling, I’m afraid you wouldn’t understand how grown-ups work.
Darling don’t try to patronize me, you’ll end up looking a bit of a bit. The Washington press core think Putin has won this battle
