The Russians Are Coming?

The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! Well…maybe that’s a little dramatic. But it is interesting that two Russian submarines were detected off shore…200 miles out in international waters. That ‘s not that far away. That’s like from here to Newark… waaay too close for comfort.

The Russians have been on the back burner since the Cold War. Back in the day when I was in middle school, I used to pretend that I was a Russian spy. Call me Katyenka….but I had a weird obsession with Russians. Now it’s just a mild fascination.

I think the fact that the Russians have a couple of submarines off our shores...should move them from the back burner…to the front burner. And also the fact that lately…Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been photographed bare-chested riding a horse in Siberia. Whoa…hold your horses.

What’s the deal with that? For some reason Putin is being photographed as a rugged outdoors man doing manly-man things. He’s either trying to drive the Russian women wild, or he’s letting the world know he’s a tough guy…virile, athletic…and means…“you-wanna-piece-of-me” business.

Add his bare-chested-ness to the list of his other macho maneuvers…..fishing and swimming the butterfly in an icy Siberia river, skiing expert rugged terrain, mastering a black-belt in judo, diving to the bottom of the world’s deepest lake in a mini-submarine, co-piloting a fighter jet, hunting bear and wild boar, and shooting a tiger.

I must say that Putin is in pretty good shape….there’s no pudding in the Putin. Much better shape than the red-faced, vodka sauced Russian President Boris Yeltsin. But are the beef-cake pics of Putin showing off his pecs a form of intimidation? Have we moved from the Cold War to the Warm Blooded War?

Our own President Obama, however, is no pudgy pudding pot belly President. Last summer Obama was photographed on vacation bare-chested in his bathing trunks. GoBama. I think we should retaliate with our own pics of our President bare-chested. Obama walking his dog…bare-chested. Obama conferencing with Hillary Clinton (calm down Hillary.) Obama addressing the nation…bare-chested.

The Russian media can keep photographing the shirtless, macho ex-KGB man Putin. We will not be intimidated. Putin ain’t got nothing on Obama. I hope the Russians know that……….OUR President killed a fly with ONE swat…of his bare hand.
