Imagine if there were terrorists trying to seperate Alaska from US and Russia was 'talking' to their leaders.
Alaska actually is Russian Land that was leased by the US and never returned.

Incorrect. It was bought and paid for permanantly from Czarist Russia to the US.

This will tell you about purchase of Alaska, so-called "Seward's Folly" is what his opponents called it.

Huh?
I wasn't aware that the U.S. was in talks of any kind with Chechnya. I agree, those talks should stop immediately, and the U.S. should take a position that this "revoultion" is an internal Russian matter. We should also offer our assistance (most likely intelligence) to Russia as needed.
The idea that the U.S. would even have been having talks with Chechnya is perplexing, especially considering that the Chechen rebels have met with Osama bin Ladin himself in the past, and were on his payroll before the U.S. invaded Afghanistan... (They may still be on his payroll now; it just depends on where and how much of Osama bin Laden's financial structure has been eliminated since Sept. 11, 2001...)

Do you have a link to the actual statements supposedly made by Putin? From a reputable news source if possible.

I read this in Russian and there was a veiled reference to external powers trying to degrade Russia's standing. It's vague enough but no matter how you slice it there is a message about the West in these statements.

I would still find it a pretty long jump from external to west�.you can interpret it how you like but seeing as how the majority of the folks involved were arab�I think that most would think external = arab�.I�m not quite sure that the logic in you jump quite makes sense�.but like I said I haven�t seen the quote in question.

We know there are people in the United States, including people who lap into the Democratic Party itself, through certain channels, who are behind this operation. This is an attack, a geopolitical attack, on a nuclear power, Russia; and, Putin, in plain language, without going further than need be said, is saying exactly that. [edit on 8-9-2004 by zcheng]

Then you somehow claim that Putin is pointing a finger at Bush who happens to be in the Republican party not the Democratic Party. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Something I read earlier doesn't make sense the way I read it. First of all it sounds like the following statement is saying people within the Democratic Party are the people in the US that Putin is condemning.
