Putin seems to be a level-headed guy, doesn't he? Well, he harbors the same feelings as I do for those very same folks. Know what I mean?
I'm not sure that is the description I would use, Putin is certainly willing to fight, and is serious about winning.
Fortunately, for Russia, he recognizes the enemy to Russia and the Slavs he identifies with, and is willing to make those enemies cease to exist, including their sycophants.
On the other hand, Putin knows this enemy of Russia has the same plans for the United States, and their sycophants are the American Socialist Left.
Putin is in a particularly unusual position, keep the American Socialist Left in power, and America will be destroyed as an economic competitor of Russia and China over the long run, but may be suckered into using American military might to protect the rise of the Caliphate that will rule America and Europe.
If Putin endorsed Republicans for election in the States, and they were elected, American economic might and competition would likely return, but military support of European uber Socialists and Islamisists would continue, making Russia's position more difficult.
With all this disrespect Putin has for Obama, the US State Department, and Obama’s appointed officials,.....From all the European and Asian news outlets I read, Vlad isn’t the only leader that spurns this administration.
