Russians: Palin who?
An interesting article from a Russian perspective.
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/postglobal/sais/nexteurope/2008/10/russians_palin_who.html
Another highly unflattering article in the daily Moscow paper "Pravda" was even more scorching in its discussion of the Alaskan governor, calling her "A Mrs. Nobody Know-it-All" and classifying her threats of initiating war with Russia as "the most irresponsible thing anyone could do at this moment in time."
What's worse, journalists aren't the only ones in Russia expressing concerns about Governor Palin's foreign policy credentials. The Moscow Times quoted a statement by Sergei Markov, a representative from the Russian Duma, who called a potential win by the McCain-Palin team in the elections this November a "catastrophe" and referred to the vice-presidential candidate as a "housewife, chosen by mere chance."
In fact, Russians feel so strongly about her that their criticisms have spilled over from foreign policy into other arenas. At the end of last week, the Russian daily newspaper Izvestiya published an article deriding the VP candidate claims of belonging to the American middle class. The article discussed in detail Palin's family financial resources and concluded that the Alaskan governor must have been "modest" when she placed herself as part of the working class. A few days later, the same newspaper published another piece related to Palin's claims that Barack Obama had ties to terrorists. The author commented that the Republican vice presidential candidate had embarked on a personal attack against Obama because she was unable comment on the crucial issues facing America today, like the ongoing financial crisis.

That similarity will go over well in middle america. sike!
When did Palin ever threaten war with Russia? She repeatedly said she doesn't want another cold war.
