When my wife (70) was in high school, her history teacher told them not to worry about Russia, that China was the threat. It became clear over the years that he was right. Until the explosion of Islamists across the globe. Now it is clear that the Islamists are the real threat.
Putin’s priorities are not ours. But I don’t think he believes we are a threat to Russia. I suspect he holds Obama in extreme contempt, wonders how the US could be so stupid as electing and reelecting him. I’m still asking myself that same question.
