It has everything to do with the sort of Russia that KGB Putin seeks to build, or restore. His aim is to retake Russia's former satellite states and basically restore the evil empire. He may not be as bad as Stalin, but he certainly can be viewed as "Stalin-lite".
Well he certainly has a right to build it the way he wants since he is the Leader of Russia...just as Trump wants to re-build ours to the super power it once was.......and Just like Trump wants to protect our people and borders so too is Putin with his.........that's what ‘nationalists’ do.
With the exception of Crimea, which was of course Krushefs blunder in handing it over to Ukraine as a gift he had no business doing, I don't see any indication Putins done anything more than protect his borders and areas of influence just as we do..or should......
Putin's a seasoned leader now, that cannot be denied. Obama isn't nor can he be because his interests have never been for this nations interests but for the global agenda of what our country should be on the world stage. Putin knows that.
Look....everyone knows who Putin is “today” and about for the most part. Obama’s been so jealous of the man and the Chinese throughout his time in office that both are taking advantage of the gap he's left to carry on......remember it's Obama that put sanctions on Russia by leveraging with Poland,the Baltic states and others, to give them what they wanted if they yelled Putins coming after us....especially since Germany refused to do what they wanted.
Breedlove and the old war horses with him, like McCain and the likes of, created more issues and problems that could have been otherwise settled had they not been on Obama’s propaganda wheel of fortune. Our own Military Generals said as much....and that's a fact.
