What's so screwed up about this, is that this guy is the Vice-Chair of the Russian Parliament, I kid you not.
But this gets better and better - by the end he's spewing such BS that even his 'friends' are laughing at his expense (e.g. how with their advanced super-weapons Russia can obliterate Australia just for laughs or how they can completely submerge US by changing Earth's gravitational force in 24 hours' time). A nice exposé of his/Russian stereotypes on US and Americans.
If you want to be totally repulsed straightaway - skip to the last minute and listen to his mysognistic abuse of Condoleeza Rice.
From YT:
Russian ultra-nationalist Zhirinovsky's anti-US 2002 rant against U.S.'s plans to invade Iraq.
Predicting the demise of the U.S. military - Zhirinovsky was obviously poorly mistaken but he remains a dangerous politician at a time the U.S. is so despised around the world.

EDDI was inspired to sift this by this find of kp's. In pretty much all post-Soviet states this epic rant is well-known, and with good reason.
10061says...Yeah, although the dude is stupid, he also is powerful and very grounded in his beliefs. The video with him beating representative of presidents candidate I was talking about in another thread - http://www.videosift.com/video/Zhirinovsky-at-a-television-debate

antimatterThere are no jokes, only truth. HST
He was wrong about the iraqi army, but pretty much right about everything else.
EDDYes, he was especially right about Russian doomsday devices. He was also spot-on how ALL of US infantry would be killed there, as well as how Condi would be gang-raped by all the elite Iraqi soldiers who can cross the desert in an hour. His analysis of the US dollar (we're talking 2002 here) was flawless, especially considering how just a couple of years earlier most private savings in Russia as well as prices for virtually all consumer goods and even majority of private salaries were quoted in USD $.
Only truth out of this guy's mouth, indeed.
