First Castro and now Putin

On the 7th of this month, I wrote about this quote:

When Fidel Castro is lecturing the U.S. government on the principles of international capitalism, you know that something strange is afoot in the new world order.
�Joshua Keating

Now Pootie-Poot is weighing in on the subject - from the E3 Gazette:

You want a better Expert?
In the most stark and telling role-reversal, Vladimir Putin understands what America is hurtling toward with the "Stimulus":

Putin Warns US About Socialism
"Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise �excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state�s omnipotence�.

�In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state�s role absolute,� Putin said� �In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.�

How do you dismiss it as "Fear Mongering" when the former Head of the KGB recognizes this as a giant government over-reach toward Socialism?

What could possibly carry more weight, at this moment, than the current Prime Minister of Russia saying:

"Don't do this - We've been where you are - Don't Do This."

I got nuthin'.

Like I keep saying, 2012 is not that far away...
