Sheez! Threatening to nuke Ukraine. I guess Putin wants to make a splash in his final days in office.

And to think there are so many people who believe Bush is the dangerous dictator....

And another statement following up on the
first one reported earlier:

Personally, and not b/c of Putin's threat, I think Ukraine would
be foolish to join NATO. They should avoid all military alliances
and just focus on becoming a member of the EU to improve
their economic situation and economic future.....

P.S. I don't know if folks can see the full article w/o a subscription,
but if you cannot, the article does reference Putin's last official press
conference, that lasted over 4 hours, and he reiterated that if *Ukraine*
joined NATO and allowed the anti-missle radar sites to be installed
there that Russia would targe Ukraine with it's nuclear weapons.
