Putin is Russian. We've been at the brink of war with Marxist Russia for over a half century. It's natural that he might not like America very much.
But what's your excuse for your long-standing anti-Americanism? And what's your excuse for the pathetic, weak-assed B. Hussein Obama's anti-American Marxism?
I'd say you and Obama are just about on equal footing with Putin for hating America, hating our founding principles, hating our constitution, hating our Judeo-Christian heritage and hating our traditional America way of life.
Oh, wait a minute. At least Putin claims to believe in Christianity, God-given Liberty, equality and the fight against Islamofascism/terrorism. You don't.
I see todays russia as a lot like germany after wwI. A country who just lost a war (in russia’s case the cold war) believing that in spite of everything they (in their minds) are superior. and eager to prove it by getting revenge on their enemies.
When a kid steals or hurt his friend, he rationalizes by finding a reason to hate the guy he hurt. Liberals have been taught as useful idiots to foreigners and communists to hate their neighbors while smiling so that it is easier to rob them later on if opportunity arises. Since they are cowards, they have to hate America and themselves.
whenever we raise kids to be weak, it is what happens. they delve into Esau’s cursing his own inheritence... and they call it empoowerment... wow... more like despair.
That and horrible policies by our leaders...
Let's take a look at what the "Arab Spring" accomplished:
1) Tunisia: replaced a secular strongman with Islamists
2) Libya: overthrew and killed a secular strongman, who, despite his terrorist background, was working with CIA cells in Libya to root out Al Quaeda. The secular strongman's government was replaced by Al Quaeda sympathizers who murdered a US embassador and several US Marines.
3) Egypt: a secular, pro-Western strongman was replaced with Islamists who went on to murder and persecute Egyptian Coptic Christians. Fortunately, the secular strongman's allies in the Egyptian military wouldn't stand for it.
4) Syria: a secular strongman, who though a brutal dictator, protects the rights of Syria's Christian minority, is about to be overthrow and replaced by the Al-Quaeda linked Al Nusra front, who have already made it a point to massacre Christian villages.
Obviously, only a madman would think that the "Arab Spring" is anything other than wonderful.
