Putin to use Iran airstrike to cling onto power

by Andy on December 3, 2007

Spotted in the Guardian this morning, possibly the most bonkers suggestion ever as to how Putin could stay at the top of the Russian power tree:

Another scenario involves a foreign policy crisis, such as a US airstrike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Under this scenario, Putin holds and wins an emergency referendum and keeps going.

Even 24 wouldn’t go with a plotline this absurd.

Especially given today’s top story.

I often use the word in connection with the Guardian, where little actual knowledge+much opinion+superior moralist attitude = a lot of bollox!
