Putin is such a little punk ass, he just has to keep arming all of our enemies. The Saudis are our enemies but we ignore it since we need their oil. He keeps trying to make Russia a major player again, positioning himself as a balancing power to the United States. This is sort of what the French fantasize about, but unfortunately he has the resources, balls and cunning to pull it off.
