I think that’s why I keep finding myself empathizing with Putin in this. I grew up in fear of Kruschev, who said he would bury us. Putin is the only Russian leader since that I’ve feared...
Putin carries a big stick ... and will use it, no doubt. I can only imagine the disdain he must have for Obama and that IS frightening to me. I genuinely fear for this country with Obama floundering around and mucking everything up around the world.
BTW, I also grew up during the Khrushchev years, in particular the Cuban Missile Crisis ..... remember drills in elementary school, mom storing food cans/water in a makeshift shelter in the basement ..... and being afraid.
