Putin is crazy with megalomania — his newly acquired power from rigged elections is gone to his head. To make matters worse, Putin has $$$$$$ Billions and real POWER to burn. Bush never should have trusted this Russkie KGB POS. ‘Nuff said.

It isn’t Bush’s fault that Putin refused to rise to the place in history that he could have

Initiailly, it was appropriate for Bush to publically give Putin the benefit of the doubt to see if he’d turn into being a real leader instead of another pinko commie power-dictator. After Putin started showing his true colors, that benefit of doubt existed no more and the two of them were not close or trusting.

It's just politics. Putin derangement syndrome is just as silly as Bush DS.

Putin's goal is to reestablish Russia as a regional, if not superpower. The whole "mad-man" defense thing has been done before. It just shows Putin is a student of history.

That's certainly against our interests, but it's a mistake to think that Putin isn't a rational actor. It's an act.

A little more needs to be added: This is yet another cog in the legacy of King Jorge......

Can’t imagine what Bush was SUPPOSED to do with the POS....nuke him?

[CRBDeuce]

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer - Bush was doing the right thing with Putin.

Fast foward, say, six years. Replace 'Putin' with 'Hillary'...

You need to take a look at Siberia, Russian demographic projections for the next 20 years and where Russia's real threats come from.

The most dangerous threats to Russia come from the East. This warning may have been for other ears. Who were the only people to ever successfully conquer Russia again? (Hint: not Europeans)
