I think there is much to be learned by looking and listening without being a ‘butt kisser’. As an overseas vet of WWII, I take particular interest in where the US has been and is today. I believe Putin is walking on the path of the old time Bolsheviks and there is much to be learned from such. At the same time I have regrets as to how some people of the likes of Obama have taken our Nation down a slippery slope of ‘change’.
What Obama is doing to destroy our country is an entirely different matter. The point is screw Putin. We don't need any advice from the likes of him. Does anyone here seriously believe he is well-intentioned? That he really wants what's best for America? Not talking to you devoted Putinistas. So please stay the hell out of the conversation.
