About the only foreign leaders I trust = Bibi Netanyahu and Margaret Thatcher = neither one still in power. I am not so sure about Putin. Russia doesn't have a great track record over the long haul. And I have been to the former East Germany - and antiAmerican sentiments are high there over some issues. When you talk to the man in the street, there are a lot of things they are not happy about when it comes to the US. I imagine Russia is the same.

Putin is ex-KGB. Does that tell you anything about him? He didn't just find Jesus you know.
