School yard bully?

You sound sohhhhh brave clear over here in Amerika with your verbal thuggery on par with one of those snot nosed dorks who are always looking to agitate someone else for the sole purpose of getting a whomping and then you can run to the principal to some validation that you serve some purpose while feeding your scrawny milk toast vitim hood.

I respect Putin for his candor..

Obama has been handing over his lunch money to Putin since 2009.
