>>What past or which past behavior?
Either one is grammatically correct:
1 “What past” behavior are you speaking about?
or
2 “Which past” behavior are you referring to?
>>Putin is a history of being aggressive or thuggish
The 31 second video link you posted does not appear to support the two adjectives used to describe him.
Thank you for the link. I enjoyed reading the comments which seemed to be positive. One in particular stated that it is typical behavior to kiss a priest’s hand, but not for the priest to kiss a leader’s hand. The poster indicated its significance was to convey the message that Putin was recognized as the Leader of the country (paraphrased).
No but a quick Google search will give you many links to his "past" thuggish behavior. Strange how anyone could struggle with that. Do you feel Putin is a good man?
A few years ago, that video was all over the net. People were outraged at the site of that man kissing Putin's hand while others claimed it was all for show, that Putin is using the church. Kind of like when he takes off his shirt to show off his muscles.
On September 10th, 2001, the Russian jets locked on to civilian aircraft off the coast of Alaska. My brother worked at the air traffic control tower in Anchorage at that time. He said the Russian military were not only locking onto the civilian aircraft but were also flying so close that they could have caused an accident. Pilots, the controllers, and others were terrified and my brother had thought that if America was not at war the next day, it would be a miracle. After 9/11, little was said about this "incident". Russia did not attempt another provocative act under Bush, at least that I know of. But once Obama came into power, Russia started back up again.
