Obama has been surrounded by people sympathetic to Russia since he was a baby in Africa, or wherever the hell he’s from. Putin is out to basically restore the evil empire that was the Soviet Union. The only reason Obama MAY have a genuine problem with Russia now is because, after Putin got all he wanted or need from the treasonous little wuss, he “bitch slapped” him and told him to get lost. He used him the way the Mob uses some two-bit wannabe street punk to commit a crime then tosses them aside.
Obama’s friends weren’t sympathetic to Russia, they were sympathetic to the Soviet Union.
