If Obama and Co were indeed "greenies", they would be of the 'watermelon' variety, green on the outside, red on the inside. He and they are "reddies".
They didn't do what they did, in regards to strengthening Russia while weakening us, out of "naivete", "inexperience", or "incompetence". They did it deliberately. To knock the US off its pedestal as world leader. Obama has been surrounded by people loyal to the Soviet Union his entire life. Even had a mentor back in Hawaii, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, who read him poems glorifying the Red Army. And it is the goal of KGB Putin to bring back the S.U. and then-some by grabbing control of the strategic oil/gas-rich Middle East.
There’s more going on in the world on the left than just the watermelons.
Is it possible that Putin believes he can work a conquest of the Islamic Middle East?
Putin does not understand Islam, if so.
