No one is saying Russia is our best friend. But Putin is their business, not our business. And from here, he looks a good bit better than the alternative, which the article seems to be advocating. A good bit better!!

He also looks, and acts more rational than that little clique in Washington, who call themselves "Neo-Cons," and consider a former disciple of Leon Trotsky--the Communist Butcher who commanded the Red Army in the Bolshevik rape of Russia--their guru! They are the ones who are fixated on "Democracy," rather than dealing with the realities of the world in which they live. (And we should take a long hard look, at what "Democracy" means to Communists.)

See The Neo-Con Phenomenon.

Incidentally, it is a very Capitalistic thing to sell arms to other nations. It is the way you help take some of the very considerable expense involved in research and development off of the back of your own people. Sort of the reverse of the way our home grown "do gooders," try to shift more of the rest of the world's burden onto our backs.
