Beyond that, Putin appears to be scared to death that we are headed towards Communism.
You will recall, he wrote a letter, published in Pravda, after Obama was elected the first time, warning America, "Do not go down the road to Communism, because that is what destroyed Russia".
Putin understands the problem with Muslims, our leadership has not and does not.
I couldn't believe Bush chastizing Russia over the battle in Chechnya against the muslims. We should have been offering Russia help.
Russia is becoming far more free than us.
For instance, If we get our tires wet or go into a "wetlands" at all, we are subject to a $5000 fine from the wetland police, even if it's on your own land.
In Russia, they have the annual Ladoga Challenge and many other 4X4 events in and around swamps.
We are on the wrong side in Syria, as the Assad regime protected Christians in Syria. The rebels will kill them. We should either be neutral or support Russia.
As long as they guaranteed our constitutional rights, many of us would welcome the Russians invasion as a liberation, and be supplying all the Vodka we could to thank them.
