[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I agree with your post 11. Though I am neither a supporter nor hater of Putin. I am a little agnostic on the subject. He looks good to me, but I stay cautious because people I admire disagree. I have no way of knowing if some of the extreme criticism is true or not. I won’t believe or disbelieve something I cannot prove. He at least gives lip service to being a Christian. He has a much better moral gauge (Judeo-Christian) of what is right and wrong than Obama. He is fighting terrorism more smartly and effectively. He is more straightforward and honest than Obama. Whether you like what he does or not, you can predict it. He says over and over again what he is going to do “if” long before he does it. He loves and defends his own country.

Anyway, regardless of Putin, I find Russians very smart, overall, and likable. Any country that gave us Tetris can’t be all bad, haha.

Russia gave us Isaac Asimov, also.
