From my perspective it is beginning to look like the US and Russia need each other. Every now and then one of the two parties ends up being led by a very bad government class. The Soviet Union Russian period for example and the current Oligarchial US period. Seems like to be good neighbors we have to smack each other with a club every now and then.
For a best result, that is true, and it is why I don't hate Russians.
In fact, I have never hated Russians, just Communists, with a passion.
Unfortunately, Communism is still a powerful force in Russia, and Obama, by supporting and funding Communists and homosexuals in Russia and Russian media, is forcing Putin into more strident Russian Nationalism with an anti American component, to retain control.
Obama is deliberately sowing ill feeling between the American people and the Russian people.
