Gingrich is right, Putin is a commie thug, to hell with him.
Actually, he is a Russian Mafia thug who served in the KGB.
His predecessors were communist, and for all his Russian Orthodoxy he is not a terribly religious person but...he is a step up from the communists they had before.
Of course he is a dictator. The society there lacks the basic morality to function as a Republic.
In this case, he is opposing the people who attacked us on 9/11 and Obama is financing those same people.
Obama’s allies are slaughtering the Coptic Christians and as I care about them but not terribly much about the Muslim jihadists Obama and McCain are backing then I will go with Putin on this one.
I don’t care how much warm fuzzies you have been getting as the Christians have been slaughtered by Obama’s Muslim pawns.
Call a waaambulance.
No arguments. The problem is that the commie thug is so much more politically astute than the Gang-Banger-in Chief that he is busily setting the stage for building a solid strategic stronghold in the Middle east and isolating us while he knows that he will not be alone if SHTF. To discount him is not a wise endeavor - Dingle-Barry and his sidekick Viet-Kerry have been played to the point they made idle threats, ate a lot of shoe leather, and now have Putin and Assad making demands. The international community, such as it is, respects us less than it respects Putin.
