Cold War Intrigue

Russia is blowing up the news wires lately.

TCD pretty much broke the "sleeper" Russian spy ring.

Phil clued us into the heat wave, but forgot to mention the mechanism of Russian heat related death: getting bombed on Vodka before jumping into rivers to cool off and eventually drowning. I guess it really isn't ever warm there.

Then late last week Russian President Dmitry Medvedev lost it after a dam producing hydro power in the Northern Caucuses was attached. But don't worry, he assured workers of their personal and professional security. From the horses mouth:

"Law enforcement and security agencies and [energy] companies, as well
as the government, must do all they can to make sure that such things do
not happen again. If they do, none of the law enforcement, security and
energy company chiefs will keep their jobs. All of them will be sacked."


And finally, the finest paper in the land (NY Post, by the way) dropped this bomb shell on us


NEW Russian spy Anna Fermanova was apparently trying to smuggle night vision goggles that are considered munitions by the defense department because of their high power out of the country. According to her "this is just funny," but she's "freaking out right now." Likely combo.

Now, if only all of this Cold War action would revive quality Bond plots I'd be happy once a for all. And keep the Russian spy babes coming, please.
