Putin Has BDS and MDS

While on CNN, Putin played to the audience with some BDS sprinkled with truther nonsense. And now we have McCain Derangement Syndrome.

"If my guesses are confirmed, then the suspicion is raised that somebody in the United States purposefully created this conflict with the aim of aggravating the situation and creating an advantage ... for one of the candidates in the battle for the post of U.S. president."

Proof. You want proof?

At a briefing Tuesday, the deputy chief of Russian military general staff, Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, showed off a colour copy of what he said was a U.S. passport found in a basement in a village in South Ossetia among items that belonged to Georgian forces.

"We found a passport for Michael Lee White," Nogovitsyn said. "He's a Texan."

Texans. They start all the damn wars. The staff here at the Shrug has obtained a copy of that passport photo.
