Vladimir Putin is not Finnish

And if he gets his way, which he will as long as Obama is president, nobody else will be either

Jack Moore, International Business Times:

"One of Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest ex-advisers has claimed that the ex-KGB agent ultimately wants to reclaim Finland for Russia.

Andrej Illiaronov, Putin's economic adviser between 2000 and 2005 and now senior member of the Cato Institute think tank, said that "parts of Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland are states where Putin claims to have ownership..."

Illiaronov admits that Finland is not Putin's primary concern at present but, if not stopped in other areas of Eastern Europe, the issue will one day arise."

Yushchenko, hero of Ukraine's Orange Revolution warns Europe that Putin won't stop at Crimea

by Matthew Schofield - McClatchy Foreign Staff
March 27, 2014

Many Ukrainians believe you need look no further than the face of Viktor Yushchenko to understand Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

Once smooth and ruggedly handsome, it still bears the scars from an assassination attempt when someone slipped dioxin into Yushchenko's food. ..."

Moscow prefers Trump not because it sees him as easily manipulated, but because his “America First” agenda coincides with its view of international relations.

Russia seeks a return to classical international law, in which states negotiate with one another based on mutually understood self-interests untainted by ideology. To Moscow, only the predictability of realpolitik can provide the coherence and stability necessary for a durable peace.

What I like about Putin is he LOVES RUSSIA and respects and protects the Russian people.

When I compare that to OUR Washington DC 'elites' who are 'too good' for the common people and who look down on our country while ripping it off, I hang my head in shame. How did we elect such trash?

One reason (of many) I'm backing Trump is he loves the United States and the people of the United States - flaws and all.

Most of us will never vote for an 'elite' from either party if we can help it... they're horrible money grubbers... soul less sociopaths...

Oh, and nice piece Clinton Ehrlich ...

[Sam Gamgee]

Of course he won't. Ukraine, then Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Then Poland.

Why is it many here make fun of Obama for bowing down to the Chinese, the Saudis, improving relations with Iran, but want Trump to make nice with Russia? What's the difference except in degree of the threat?

[Sam Gamgee]

Expressing his love for Russia and Putin is downright loony. Unlike the 3rd Reich none of the symbols of the Soviet Union have ever been destroyed or even forsaken. The Cold War has restarted under Putin who wants to rebuild the evil empire.

With that said, China and Islam is the more immediate threat, and Trump seems to be right on those issues. Still he needs to stop playing into Clinton's hands on Russia.

[GOPJ]

In the upcoming war with Iran we need Russia on our side...

[Sam Gamgee]

Russia is helping Iran with their nuclear program...

[Sam Gamgee]

Plus we had a Republican recently in office for 8 years and we never had a war with Iran. I don’t think that is going to happen. We might sit back while Israel takes action...

[GOPJ]

Yes, I know... but Russia’s still a ‘swing’ in the upcoming war...

It's a combination of things. You have the dopey, easily manipulated, basically ignorant, types who know little to nothing about Russia. Then you have the hardcore Putinistas, who know full well what Putin is up to but are on-board with it. They are the real scum, because they help sway the mindless, know-nothing/stupid types into supporting Russia's evil expansionist agenda. Their aim here is to pump up Putin and that agenda. It couldn't be more obvious what their game is yet they are allowed to remain here totally unbothered. Don't ask me to explain the reasoning behind that. It's a mystery to me.

[Sam Gamgee]

Thanks for the insight. Yes, I am well aware their are shills here for Putin..

Bill stated clearly he always wished he had been a war time president...
