Yeah, I went and actually read the article, not the little excerpt from Foxnews. The actual article is pretty fair, shows his dark side. Wish Fox had included quotes that actually represented the article, instead of just a pro-Putin thing and then their own commentary.
Yesterday.. before this announcement, I was thinking about who I would choose... Putin was one of the few names I could come up with.
My reasons, of course.... are a little different from Time’s. Personally, I currently see Putin as THE most dangerous man on earth. He is the main problem in getting meaningful sanctions against Iran. He is constantly making direct threats against the US and our interest. He is leading Russia with an iron hand... the kind not seen since Stalin died.
I happened to be in Moscow last year on the day that one of Putin’s leading critics (a female reporter) was murdered.. in broad daylight... shot in the head as she left her apartment... on Putin’s birthday. This guy is not being subtle anymore in his actions, or his threats.
They have picked the right man.... but, for the wrong reasons.
