It’s a terrible shame when Russia’s President is smarter than our own.

“It’s a terrible shame when Russia’s President is smarter than our own.”

I don’t think Putin has any love for the USA. He wants to restore Russia as a superpower and sees the USA as a main rival. HOWEVER, he also knows the world’s economy is driven by America’s free market economy. If America’s free market system goes south, so does the rest of the world’s economy.

The world hates America for only being 5% of the population, but having 25% of the economy. Putin is smart enough to know it is becuase our free market system is the best economic system. He is trying to do the same thing in Russia. He knows if we destroy our system it will undermine Russia’s economic efforts.
