Is this because Zero said so? Russia is not our friend. They just killed a bunch of journalists again. They continue to arm rogue regimes. And, their missiles are certainly not pointed at the Middle East; their missiles are pointed at the United States! Such "Frends" huh? And, Lenin is still on display in Russia, with the Communists holding some official power. And, a KGB agent runs Russia as their defacto leader.
NO not because of Zero——some conservative insiders - the non neo con types - share the belief that we need to cooperate with a natural ally in the face of resurgent islam-— - not the Soviet Union obviously an aberrant period———Russai yes. Look - Lenin’s picture is probably more popular in the US than in Russia - some elderly and others who “long” for “stability” perhaps and their love affair with Georgian born Marxist Stalin-—these commies had no ethnicity anyway.
The picture of the soldier standing at attention-—we have ours too. Other nations have pride in their military and justifiably so. The “journalists” - nobody has proven how they were attacked. I am quite confident that it had nothing to do with a Russian govt entity ...
One more thing: the Soros organization is PNG in Russia—that should tell you lots.
The fact of the matter is that Putin and Medvedev stand prouldy Christian in a secular world having been baptized in the Orthodox faith ...And Solzhenitsyn the greatest Christian intellectual of the 20th century gave his stamp of approval to Putin before he died.
AND one more—Communists do not have any official power in Russia-—they are one of many political parties—think about this-—we have our version of COmmunists-—lots of them...probably lots more than in Russia.
IN the last elections they won one precint in Moscow— the University of Moscow precint! SOund familiar?
