Displaying the killer instincts of a chess grandmaster, Vladimir Putin rang out 2013 with an exceptional list of accomplishments.

The Russian president humiliated the United States by sheltering NSA leaker Edward Snowden, brokered a Syrian chemical weapons deal that averted a seemingly inevitable U.S. military strike and outmaneuvered the 28-nation European Union in the wrestling match for influence over Ukraine.

Suffice to say I feel a far greater sense of confidence in Putins ability to deal with said challenges than some of our more “local” leadership.

Putin visiting the recent bombing casualties wears a white doctors coat well.
Hour resident bought coats for the supposed doctor pep rally for his health care program.
He spends our money to do the smoke and mirrors thing on us while Putin uses his natural born force of character.

Don’t forget, too, that he’s president for life.
