That's what I mean, I hope he's had his eyes opened and joins us now! I hope he sees why WE are fighting,and sees the necessity of joining us to fight global terrorism on THEIR turf before they bring it to OURS.
Here are a couple more that I had stashed. ...hope the info is helpful for analysis.
Disregard for Human Life (Was Putin referring to the USA as the hostile foreign powers?)

Putin may be worse than we think

I think you're being a bit naive. Don't forget that the former USSR (of which Putin was a part) was the primary funding source for a huge network of anti USA terror networks from the 1960's thru the 1980's. Ronald Reagan called them the Evil Empire for a bunch of very valid reasons. Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because communism failed in that country, that they now have flocked to the banner of righteousness. Putin has always had his own agenda. I wouldn't put it past him to use the school tragedy to justify a sudden and dramatic military buildup across the board to combat the scourge of international terrorism. Yah right.
I think Putin and much of the rest of the pols in that nation want a return to the stage of being a world superpower on a level with the USA. This is one way for Russian boots to do some high powered walkin'.
