I’ve long believed that we should be allied with Russia against China. Obviously it can’t happen with president Candyass running the show but tough diplomacy can go a long way toward making friends.

Objectively, it's hard not to sympathize with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The only reason I sympathize with Putin is because he seems to keep misplacing his shirts.

At the rate we’re going, WE will be the new Soviet Union.

Do you think the US administration has thought through the 2nd or 3rd derivation on Putin’s actions. In other words, even after Putin leaked the Neuland coversation indicating the US direct involvement in the Ukraine coup, the US intelligence (oxymoron) predicited that Putin would take no action 2 days before Putin flew 150 flights into Crimera airbases.

Mike Rodgers says Putin is playing chess while Obama is fondling his marbles. So what would happen when Putin demands Rubles or gold for his energy.

The only way that will happen is when Putin goes the way of Yanukovych. No alliances with commie dictators.

BIG difference though, the likelyhood of us revolting a lot quicker will become all the more likely.

Let me guess, Obama is a regular old beacon of democracy in your little world.

the US is destabilizing countries around the world. Egypt, Libya, Sirya. Putin is protecting his warm water naval base.

Is NOT “Authoritarian” just another word for “dictator” ?

Plus been listening to A LOT of talkradio show interviews that Putin is simply trying to put back together an empire as close to looking very much just like the old Soviet Union empire.

If anything Obama and this administration have created the Putin we see today.

It sure makes things easy for the Russian government. All they have to do is point to America and ask the people if they really want to be like us. Weak, overtaxes, overregulated, fixated on tolerance and environmentalism.

You know exactly what I think of Obama. Still Putin makes him look like a choir boy. If Obama did here what Putin has done in Russia and Ukraine, you would be screaming “Dictator!” and “Tyrant!”.

Maybe Putin dreams of being partners with the US in defending western culture from hoards of Islamists, and extreme liberalism.

So far Obamas' US has been found wanting, primarily because Obama apparently dreams otherwise.
