They’re also helping Iran become a nuclear power. And they’re doing their part to make sure they get a nuclear weapon. Still smug about loving Putin?

Where did I say I love him?

All I observed is strange bedfellows are snuggling together under the covers again.

You know how married couples fight and then make up.

It seems to me Russia is trying to act as nothing noteworthy has happened.

It reminds me of the people Paul Hollander identified as POLITICAL PILGRIMS, who became enamored with each new socialist dictatorship. It looks like love and acts like it, all in the name of ideology. The fact that so many of these fans of President for Life Putin don’t mind him helping Iran get a nuke tell me all I need to know.
