Russert-Russia

Pumpkinhead accidentally makes good?  The question about Dmitri Medvevev in Russia was asked in a stupid gotcha manner (christ, he even went into detail afterwards and followed up with a stupid hypothetical), but it brought up an important point. We've been so focused on Iraq and "The Forgotten War" in Afghanistan that our government (President and all Presidential nominees (D and R)) has completely forgotten about the former Iron Curtain.

Both candidates on stage disappointed me with a lack of up-to-date knowledge of the situation (good try HRC, but it wasn't that you couldn't pronounce his name). How could neither mention HOW Putin plans to stay in power or all of the gas line shenanigans?  Meddling in Iran?  Nothing compared to the meddling in Ukraine, where they have actual candidates for office. Come on kids, you're better than that!
