Putin has figured out that Obama is set on destroying his internal political enemies and has no regard for this country’s political enemies. If he was a “raised here” American, he might think differently. But he will not object to what Putin is doing. Doesn’t affect him. It does affect us in the long run, but that again, doesn’t bother him.
“Putin has figured out that Obama is set on destroying his internal political enemies and has no regard for this country’s political enemies.”
Good point. I don’t think Obama’s not being raised here has any effect on it, but the fact that he is devoting all his time to destroying his domestic “enemies” is certainly something that Putin must have noted. Obama has taken us down to banana republic status, where the dictator is busy purging his enemies, throwing money at his favorites to buy their continued devotion, and basically rendering his country a pathetic wreck with no influence outside its borders except whatever money its dictator wants to throw to others of his ilk (think of VZ giving money to Cuba, and Obama giving money to Muslim radicals).
USA troops in Afghanistan cannot go home without Russia help.
Putin doesn’t have to figure Obama out. Putin has ALL of Obama’s personal information. Obama is being soundly blackmailed.
