The Spy Who Shagged Me
After using nuclear substance (polonium210) to kill a guy who criticizes you, what do you get? Bad press?
No! In mother Russia, where cars drive you, you don't get murdered by polonium210.
In mother Russia, Polonium eats you. Whether you die or not, its up to god...but there is no god.
Anyway, after all these years, the cold war is over and the West is no longer an enemy but, as far as you can tell, it is no friend.
I like this paragraph,
"Many years ago, when I first came to work in Moscow, a political pundit close to the Kremlin told me that the problem between Russia and the West is that Russians are white.Something wrong with being WHITE? WTF?“We look like you. We look like Europeans and so the West expects us to think and act like you. As a result, when we don’t you get all upset. Why can’t they be like us, you fret. But you don’t say that about the Chinese, for instance. You don’t expect them to think and act like you. Well, we are white but we are different.”

The Economist is a great magazine. No one knows who wrote the article, yet all the articles somehow gives a coherent thinking mode on world issues that is not conflicting at all. (At least thats from MY reading experience)
It is interesting that Japan is the subject of comparison when trying to look back in history for similar instance where American supremacy is being challenged by another foreign country.
A democratic capitalism vs a one party state "capitalism" - 19th century style one where workers be damed, environment be damned, morals be damned and get rich is glorious.
I hope the history don't repeat itself 'cause 100million of angry stock holders may cause a very big harmonic noise of "TMD", and that won't be a harmonic society anymore.
btw, I love the art work...Panda vs US of A...so cute...O.o
