Where do you live? I have lived in the DC area since 1975 after graduation from NYU Law School and on Capitol Hill since 2000, near 9th and Mass NE. Would you like to ask me some test questions to prove my bona fides?
I worked at the National Labor Relations Board and was also an official at HUD in the Reagan Administration when Sam Pierce was Secretary.
Meanwhile, you don’t seem to deny that on the issues, Russia and Putin are on the conservative side.
I don’t believe your legend. According to what you’ve posted here you’re around 70 years old. No one of that vintage who worked for the Reagan Administration should be out shilling for a Russian regime of any kind. Unless you’re being paid to do it. I suppose I could respect that.
In answer to your last comment; IMHO, Russia is on the conservative side and Putin is on the dictatorial side so far as I see it. So we’re at least half agreed on some of this.
Advantage marvel5....so far
“Russia and Putin are on the conservative side.”
This is the outward appearance, and for the time being probably a good thing if the Ruskies are whacking terrorists. From that perspective alone, I support what they are doing.
But at the same time I find it terribly confusing that they are supporting Iran, which is a terrorist nation.
For the short term the Russian activity appears to be good, but for the long term, especially if they are helping Iran get a full nuclear capability, this is what could eventually hatch into WWIII.
I must agree with other posters, you do not appear to be American. Your lingo gives it away.
