Yes but. Putin is, after all, a politician. A master politician.
While some of his current thoughts and policies are truly excellent, there are always other layers to consider with this guy. He’s having fun, and so are his publicists, with the gay thing right now. And so are we.
But what comes next with Russia? Are they teaming up with Iran to nuke us?
I don't fear the Russians....They have their interests, we have ours. No reason for them to conflict. What would the Russians gain by nuking us....I don't think they are all that friendly with the Iranians......more a case of keeping their friends close, and their enemies even closer.
