PUTIN HITS OUT AT WASHINGTON

Responding for the first time to accusations last week by the US vice-president, Dick Cheney, that Moscow had rolled back democracy, Mr Putin said: "Where is all this pathos about protecting human rights and democracy when it comes to the need to pursue their own interests?
"Here, it seems, everything is allowed; there are no restrictions whatsoever. We are aware what is going on in the world. Comrade wolf knows whom to eat, he eats without listening, and he's clearly not going to listen to anyone."




Looks like Putin knows he is dealing with a man who does not listen to anyone.
