Heilbrunn is a Communist—a die-hard Soviet loyalist from the days of the Red Empire. My guess is that’s why he’s also loyal to Ubama. To unworthily borrow a Gospel phrase, “To whom will we go, Lord?”
Commies hate Putin. Putin is a lot of things, Commie isn't one of them.
Actually all this is very interesting watching 0bama play at being a leader of some sort. Putin in playing chess while 0bama is shooting marbles.
