Putin is a killer, a murderer, and not our friend.

Putin warned us against 1) invading Iraq; 2) destablizing Libya; 3) trying to take out Assad. He was right on all three, and if we had listened everybody would be better off and the middle east wouldn’t be on fire.

He may not be a “friend,” but Putin has given us good advice, friendly advice that we should have followed.

Russian intelligence also tried to warn us about the Boston bombers too if I remember correctly.

Putin's Russia sold, amongst other weapons, Kornet anti-tank missiles to Iraq in violation of the UN weapons embargo. He did that so Iraqis could kill Americans. He doesn't give us advice for our good, he tries to tell us what to do for his interests.

The thing that disturbs me most is how some Americans support him because they fundamentally misunderstand what he is doing in Syria. They think Putin is battling ISIS, but in truth he is attacking all those fighting Assad.

I don't say this because I support the Obama, Kerry, McCain efforts in Syria. Our friends in the region were much safer with an Assad in power than some weak conglomeration of factions all acting as puppets for outside powers like Iran.
