Can Obama Wrestle a Bear?

With the cold war now warming up, Russia is getting an early lead on their PR efforts.
All in one trip, Putin saved an endangered tiger and a helpless TV crew.

I am not a big fan of Putin but damn, I was impressed.

So when you Americans go to the polls this November you may want to consider the Hemmingway factor and how it will impact global PR.....I could see Obama saving a Polar Bear and combating global warming all in one trip.


Speaking of a chill:
Anyone remember the previous cold war and its outcome?

One super power was spending too much on military efforts in far away lands. Heavy debt spending to deter a war......and ultimately a once great nation and its currency crumbled.

Funny after the "deterrent military" spending stopped, there was no war?


Well, this time around Russia is full of oil money. The US is approaching record debt levels (as % of GDP) and spending hundreds of billions on military actions in far away places.

Without some planning the outcome could be the same, but the names may change....
