I would be more concerned about trusting odumbo instead of Putin. I see Putin as someone who will tell it to you straight from the shoulder, a “what you see is what you get” kind of guy. Odumbo on the other hand will not look you in the eye when he speaks. He stammers all over the place trying to get his point across (which to me means he is lying)and his history shows us he cannot be trusted.
I think Putin is using odumbo’s weakness as a tool to give himself more credibility and it is working.
The plane disappears (etc, etc), Iran steps out and blames us for kidnapping it almost immediately after it happened, our satellite to protect the east coast was not able to be launched because of a fire in the radar system only hours before the scheduled launch ( and the next launch will not go up for 3 weeks), and now Israel has closed all of their embassies worldwide over a pay dispute. Not sure I am buying the pay dispute to bring home all of your embassy staff worldwide.
Hi Progov.
Thank you for your thoughts; I agree with them.
Decades ago Robert Ringer wrote a book named “Winning Through Intimidation.” Among other things, he examined different power structures in business. He proposed the theory that there are three types in business:
“a. There are only three types of people in the business world
“Type 1: Lets you know that he’s out to get all of your chips. Then he tries to do just that.
“Type 2: Assures you that he’s not interested in getting your chips. Then he tries to grab all of your chips anyway.
“Type 3: Assures you that he’s not interested in getting your chips, and honestly means it. However, in the end, he tries to grab all of your chips anyway.
“b. In business, no one ever does anything for anybody else without expecting to gain something in return.”
If geopolitics were business, Putin is a Type 1. He will take your chips if not thwarted. Obama is a Type 2. He stumbles over himself with his false protestations, and then seizes your chips.
