After WW II many compassionate Americans sent CARE packages to Europe, feeding the poor and hungry. May I now return the kindness and send some relief to “Sean the starving Marxist” ? Sean, what do you need the most ? Bread, butter, milk ? ;-)

To get back to the lecture at hand (a phrase which originates here, as far as I know, and just seemed right), Jamestown’s Chechnya Weekly also wrote about the letter dismissively today. And while I respect their reporting, they would probably be the first ones to “slurp up” anything that makes Kadyrov look bad if it had any credibility.

And to get back off-topic, I prefer Vysotsky’s take on that old Lenin chestnut:

“????? ????, ??? ?? – ?????,
??? ???????? ????? ??????:
??? – ??? ?? ???, ??? ? ?? ????,-
? ?????, ??????.
??? ????? ?????????? ? ????,
?? ??? ????? ? ????????? ????:
‘??? ?? ???????? – ?? ???,-
?? ??????, ????!’”

Anyway, Sean’s real tactic is clearly to enrage Kim so much that she spends all her time writing lengthy comments replete with irate invective and has no time left to combat the neo-Soviet Union.
