I never in my wildest dreams thought I would like the tyrant in charge of russia better than the would-be tyrant of the US!
Isn’t that the sad truth?!
Why is Putin a “tyrant”?
Was he not truly elected? Granted there probably are election shenanigans in Russia, it’s the same here, as well.
But when it comes down to it, at least with Putin, you might not like him or trust him, but at least there is something to respect in his leadership of his country and his standing as a leader on the worlds stage.
Compare that with Zero.
You know....if Putin were really brilliant at this point...he’d declare that he needs a break, and does a 10-day trip to the US....avoiding Washington DC entirely.
He’d stop off on some cattle ranch in Texas....talk oil, natural gas and beef with a dozen ranchers. Then he’d stop and pose for pictures while he and his entourage travels by SUV across NM and AZ...stopping off at the Grand Canyon and chatting with Japanese tourists.
He’d pop into Vegas....have dinner one evening with a dozen folks from New Jersey. Then end the trip with stop in LA and do a Jay Leno interview...except not on the fancy stage, but in Jay’s five-star garage. The two would talk transmissions, nuke weapons, and Ford pick-ups.
Overnight, Putin would be a major success and be the most recognized guy in America.
Yes. Too true. Or that their press would, at least for all appearances, be more free than ours.
Of course, I do remember hearing of investigative journolists going missing or getting dead over there, so it's not a lot better.

We were talking about this on another thread. Isn’t it just sad? We’d prefer the polonium poisoning Putin over our own president? At least Putin is straight up who he is.
true dat!! Well written my FRiend. Well written.
