What Russians approve of or disapprove of is not really what is most important to us.==

I agree with that. I just emphasize for you Joe that Putin incentives are just to gain approval rate of Russians not Americans. So his actions are for Russia not America. And it is just hypocricy is to critisize him as the foreign leader when he looks after his people interests and ignore yours. It is just the normal behaivior of any foreign leader isn't it right?

[Tailgunner Joe]

Putin does not look after his people's interests. He acts against Russia's interests and ensures Russia's isolation in the world as a terrorist enabler and a dhimmi promoter of islamist jihad. Putin is a criminal thug and a menace to the whole world. Death to the KGB vermin Putin!
