I've read transcripts. I don't speak Russian

Well, what did you think of the transcripts. Any criticism of the contents.

In 07, in pitching for the Olympics, Putin gave speeches in both English and French to secure the Winter Games.

Contrast this with Obamas' efforts, a few years ago, to secure the Summer Games for Chicago. It was embarrassing.

It's not about 'chemical weapons in Syria', it's about the Islamists attempt to take over the country. Just as they did in Egypt, Lybia . IMO, our administration has been complicit in their gains, Putins' Russia was not.

There's a night and day difference between Obama and Putin. Obama is the former, and Putin is the latter.

Just heard Rush refer to Putin as a KGB thug. Sad. Even he doesn't get it.

You did not read my post in its entirety, it seems.

In 07, in pitching for the Olympics, Putin gave speeches in both English and French to secure the Winter Games.

Too bad he's better at giving speeches than actually organizing a Winter Games that is safe and orderly.

Contrast this with Obamas' efforts, a few years ago, to secure the Summer Games for Chicago. It was embarrassing.

The incipient failure of the Sochi Games is equally embarrassing. Perhaps more so.

It's not about 'chemical weapons in Syria', it's about the Islamists attempt to take over the country. Just as they did in Egypt, Lybia . IMO, our administration has been complicit in their gains, Putins' Russia was not.

According to the transcript of Putin's speech I posted above, which you ignored, it is about chemical weapons.

There's a night and day difference between Obama and Putin. Obama is the former, and Putin is the latter.

The only difference between Putin and Obama is that Putin is a National Socialist and Obama is an International Socialist.

Just heard Rush refer to Putin as a KGB thug. Sad. Even he doesn't get it.

Good point. When has Rush ever been right about anything?

It's clearly normal for Americans to bow down in worship of a shirtless secret policeman than to critically examine who he is, what he does and what his personal history tells us.

Of course, I'm conversing with a person who does not even know what the Stasi were, and who Putin was to them.
