Say what you will about Putin, it appears that he always acts in the best interest of Russia. Examine the actions of our leader and tell me who the hell he has in ind.
Like when he jails or has murdered his political opponents in Russia? Former KGB colleagues, etc, who spilled the beans on him.
? I didn’t mentioned Putin
Even IF that were true, which I clearly demonstrated it is not, who gives a crap. His goal is to basically bring back the Soviet Union, and then-some with the addition of the oil/gas-rich Middle East. This may be in his best interest, but it certainly isn't in ours or our allies in the region.
Since 2005, the Russians have been staging joint war games with the ChiComs in obvious preparation for war with us and our allies. They continue to this day arming and supporting hostile Marxist dictatorships throughout Latin America. They stand firmly behind such evil regimes as Iran and North Korea.
