I think the rest of your analysis in the previous post was right on target.

There are people in the US who have been spiritually devastated and economically destroyed by Obama and they had to look and maybe even hope for a strong world leader.

However, Putin is simply a product of the Russian mindset, Russian paranoia and Russia’s demand for a dictator.

One day Putin will be gone, but the Russian paranoia will live for a thousand more years.

We cannot drag Russia into the 21st century when they refuse to leave the 17th century.

Obama thinks the world is all better and quieter than it was.

Just like he thinks the economy is going gang-busters.

Gollum from LOTR’s reminds me of Putin:

You mean they had orgies in state-owned, Putin-approved churches and there is no news link to this? I’ll look for that. I agree that his critics are vile and vulgar, but I won’t agree that he’s leading a free nation. He allows no criticism, and if the vulgar underclass strikes back at him with their gross manners I’m not surprised.

I did not mention Obama and am in no way an Obama apologist.

To a larger extent, my point that was touched on in a previous post is that to understand Putin, one must understand the Russian mindset.

Obama has failed in that respect as did Bush and every American president for the last 100 years, except Reagan.

I guess because Putin like Gollum, have both been obsessed with something, the former with having a new Russian empire, the later with a good ring.

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. Truman was the first president to confront the Russians in a direct and honest way. Nixon, whom I’m no fan of, did too. Kennedy talked a good game, but was feckless in the implementation. Naiveté about Russia and communism was not true of all US leaders. On the world stage, Churchill was right from day one. He wanted to strangle communism in its cradle. As for Obama, the number of things he’s wrong on are so numerous as to be impossible to count.

Wishful thinking. Putin still holds all the cards.

This is what happens when a power punching brawler gets a preening ballerina (Obama) on the ropes in the ring.

We should pray that Obama resigns and that the Russians accept our unconditional surrender - this isn't going to end well
