A lake near a Russian village drained into an underground cave system and disappeared. Do the villagers see it as an unfortunate natural occurance? No! They blame the USA.

Just goes to show how bad a reputation the US has gained for itself.

Maybe they should do what the US does when it is faced with a problem that is their fault...blame Canada.

Ahahaha! This reminds me of that Pravda (sp?) article that claimed the December Tsunami was caused by "super-secret U.S. seismic weapons in Alaska, on order to cut back the Earth's population".

I've seen the report on tv and that old russian woman was just joking. She was laughing when she said it. So it was not meant to be anti-usa, just an old gall appearing on tv for the first time in her life.

"I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house.

One person. That's all it was, one person. Don't you think you're blowing this out of proportion? "They" do not blame the US. One person does.

yeah-American corporations wanted to steal this Russian water for resale and and huge profit. They must have burrowed under the town and siphoned it off.

Theres a secret demand for the water, which I'm sure must be the purest in the world. You know how environmentally conscious they are over there.

No-we need to grab her before she does anymore damage. Maybe we can put her in a cel in Lefortovo prison for a while. Flush her babushka down the toilet a few times.

I'm sorry, but I have to play the Dr. Strangelove card here. Remember, prescious bodily fluids?! It's a warning.

Not only was it one person that said it, it was clearly said in jest.

Wow.. she almost sounds exactly like all those American patriots during the cold war.. blaming the "enemy" for everything...

With the small difference she might have been joking ;)

Good luck. My freedom is being stored in a super-secret secure location by the department of homeland security in order to protect it from terrorists. I'll get it back just as soon as there are no more threats to the American way of life.

Well, so long as I have feet and the ability to thrust them violently in certain directions, there will always be a threat to your nads of freedom.

And for my blatantly egotistical act of self-adoring humanitarianism that everyone expects from an American, I will now travel to the Netherlands, where I'll use my drinking powers to drain more land.

I will then travel to Belgium, and cause a shortage of excellent beer...

and then stop off in Paris to relieve myself.

Hmm. Transporting stolen property across national lines? That's got to be illegal.

I am merely drinking the fine Belgian brews so that the French can enjoy them after I'm finished.
