The crazed US senator from Arizona called the person with the largest majority vote of our time \u201ca dictator.\u201d Yet a real blood-soaked dictator from Saudi Arabia is feted at the White House and fawned over by the president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Western politicians and presstitutes are morally outraged over an alleged poisoning, unsupported by any evidence, of a former spy of no consequence on orders by the president of Russia himself. These kind of insane insults thrown at the leader of the world\u2019s most powerful military nation\u2014and Russia is a nation, unlike the mongrel Western countries\u2014raise the chances of nuclear Armageddon beyond the risks during the 20th century\u2019s Cold War.
