Russia talking tough again...

"10 Percent" sounds like a Ghangsta Rapper
:rotfl:

Regarding Rogozin, of course he has Putin's blessing.
This press statement was meant for internal consumption.
If such a statement would carry weight, it would've been made in front of CNN or BBC.
Also, it is just stating the obvious. If the USS McFaul were to fire some of the TLAMs it obviously carries (the VLS cells must contain some kind of ordonance after all) on targets in Abkhazia, the chances of russian citizens or soldiers getting killed would be high. Hence, this would constitute an act of war against Russia.
Kind of like "if you bomb Florida, you're at war with the US"

Rogozin used to be one of the stooges that keeps the common man happy talking strongly.
Like Zhirinovski, only less comical.
Sending such a man to NATO was a gesture equivalent to an outstretched middle finger.
Kind of like sending Donald Rumsfeld as ambassador to France.

No matter what you think of Putin. This is not Yeltsin. If Russia goes to war, it is because Putin or Medvedev (I wouldn't dismiss him so easily) wants to, not because some drunken moron feels threatened.
