Yet you fail to name a single one of your rulers. I guess you’d rather slander our whole system than one guilty American that is real.
I get it - you hate Putin and those who you think support him. I'm not a fan, but I also see where our government "reps" are only too willing to lead us down a road that has them in the same type control. Harry reid hasn't had any job but the Senate in forever and he is really wealthy beyond what his Senate salary could have possibly accomplished. Not in Putin's league for funneling billions into his coffers, but got a lot via the method the article claimed for Putin - awarding contracts and other "favors" to those that can enrich him - illegal use of his position and taxpayer funds.
I'm not defending Putin as I have no respect/like for him, but I might think you are defending our corrupt politicians in order to slap at Putin.
Either way, you and I are probably on the same side but you don't seem to grasp that sometimes humor allows one to keep from clenching one's teeth over the many things that makes one angry. I have no quarrel with you - let's not waste bandwidth or FR by quibbling over a minor misunderstanding so we can focus on how to boost conservatism.
