I never said Putin was the bad guy, but anybody who thinks he's a particularly good guy is demented. He's the baddest of a bad bunch, former Soviet KGB, who more or less stole the assets of the dying soviet Empire and divvied them up amongst themselves, with the tacit consent of the West, at the time.
He's a tough SOB oligarch who rules with an iron fist. Our oligarchs are stupid to **** with him so hard. They're very apt to regret it, and maybe sooner rather than later.
Absolutely correct.
Eddie and Surly,
And? I started the argument because I smelled some equivalence in the "smell the vodka" post that IS NOT THERE (Eddie cleared that up, somewhat
). If you think it IS there, I respectfully disagree. Blood may be thicker than water, but OUR BEHAVIOR makes Putin's look like a Sunday school picnic!
The SAME PEOPLE that CAUSED 9/11 WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.
Those people ARE NOT RUSSIANS!We've been down this road before. I know you guys are good guys and that YOU KNOW our country is one evil
**** piece of
****. I agree that you both say so often.
