One of the consequences of the bellicose and incompetent foreign policy put forth by Bush and His Evil Minions^™ is the increasingly paranoid and militaristic foreign policy of Russia.

Perhaps the most extreme example is the return of missiles and tanks to the May Day (Victory Day) parade.

I have concluded that this is not a result of incompetence on the part of Republicans. This is actually one of their goals, because by restarting the cold war, they can create a climate that benefits themselves politically.
