Putin knew he had a golden opportunity when Obama was elected as POTUS. Obama is America’s gift to Putin’s dream of being the major player on the world stage. Obama, Biden, Hagel and Kerry - that is worst lineup of US leadership possible. Satan himself must be calling the shots.
Of course Putin knew...very early on. I remember him saying how foolish American people were for voting for Obama way back when he was building up to his win..... Makes me angry that a Russian Pres. could see Obama for what he is over Americans who refuse to see. Heck even Hitlary said Obama was too far left!
I think your comment about satan is closer to the truth then most would admit when it comes to the pace and push going on, not just here but worldwide.
Putin and Obama are the prefect storm for extending Russian power, reestablishing the soviet empire, and destroying freedom and independence for nations all over the world. Putin’s even gotten people who probably were opposed to the soviet empire now cheering him as a master mind, the ultimate genius, and not a mere thug.
