Putin is KGB thug and no one to admire !
Have we lost our minds here !
Oh, I was not implying any admiration for Putin. Another way of saying it is Putin is a thug committed to enhancing his nation, while our Putz is a thug committed to harming his.
Neither is admirable, but it does not take a genius wagering handicapper to figure out how things are going to go. IMHO both men will be successful in their goals. Putin will reestablish the Russian Empire, and the Putz will inflict damage to the USA from which it will never recover.
What comes after that is anyone’s guess, but I have already turned my attentions to living in a post-American world. I am not a pessimist by nature, but I am not oblivious to reality either.
