I am always amazed how may Freepers rise to the defense of a KGB thug who wants to restore Russian imperialism. Putin is also ruthless eliminating and silencing domestic opposition. He is robbing the country's treasury amassing a large personal fortune.
Yes, we worked with Stalin to defeat the Nazis, but Stalin was just the lesser of two evils at the time. Putin is no friend of the West. He is a dictator who has controlled Russia for almost 15 years.
Sounds like you agree with and support Obama’s position too.
We all have different opinions so there ya have it.
