Their comparison between Obama and Putin are correct....yet Putin always needs to be seen with one eye very wide open....he can turn on a dime when to his advantage in doing so...and does.
The thing that’s interesting is he usually tells exactly what he’s going to do by what he states....if people listen close enough.
Long time Putin made it very clear concerning Ukraine and what he would do if the US made any attempts to interfer in his area of influence there.
So the US and Europe knew well this would happen in how Putin has responded......same with Syria...they knew ahead.
But IMO concerning the Jewish people...I wouldn’t trust him to remain “friendly” ...he can change those stripes in a heartbeat.
It’s not so much about trusting Putin, in my opinion, it’s about who do you choose as a more immediate danger to Jews, the Russian government, represented by Putin, or the new Ukrainian government. In this situation, my money is on Putin.
