I'm currently listening to CNN (for what it's worth) and Condi Rice is slamming Russia. One idea is that this is for front-loading the mass' opinion of Russia as the "bad guys" in case they take action against the "alphabet agency" that just went into Iran.
We really don't know what the hell's going on right now, but the fact that she just came out attacking Russia for no apparent reason is suspect.
I'm really glad I'm immortal right now.
