10 Great things about Russia:
Vladimir Putin – Gave the west someone to hate who wasn’t actually as scary as the people who were really fucking them.
Winter – fucked off the Corsican and the Austrian corporals
False Dmitri – confuses the hell out of Western historians and intelligence agencies trying to work Russia out.
Arresting Greenpeace – Showed the French how to get rid of the annoying hippies without killing them.
Selling Alaska – thus ensuring the Yanks were lumbered with Sarah Palin.
Sputnik – putting a transistor radio in a tiny metal ball distracted the Americans for 40 years.
Russian female gymnasts - gave half the western perverts something to drool over for years.
Russian male gymnasts – gave the other half something to keep their hands busy with.
Borscht – a joke soup that westerners can’t pronounce and can’t eat.
Polonium – just as convoluted in their murders as the CIA but they work.
