Drezner's Tongue in Cheek

Daniel Drezner's reaction to Vladimir Putin's state-of-the-nation speech was a negative as mine.

What the hell is Khakamada talking about?--ed. Well, if you read Jeremy Page's account of the speech in the London Times, "Putin tried to make peace with Russia’s increasingly critical clique of influential businessmen yesterday by ordering his tax police to stop 'terrorising' companies." So Putin wasn't only scaring the bejeesus out of the near abroad, Eastern and Central Europe, and the West. Well, I certainly want to invest all of danieldrezner.com's financial resources into Russia right now!!--ed. And that's about all I'm expecting Putin to reap from this speech.

"I Definitely Feel Better about Investing in the U.S.S.R..... I mean, Russia"
