Hell, one can argue Putin saved America's bacon when he got us not to bomb Assad in Syria that would have allowed ISIS to take over that much quicker.
Putin also endorsed Bush for president. Was he trying to punish America by getting Bush elected over Kerry?
Putin has an odd way of punishing America.
Don’t forget, Putin poses shirtless, kills wildlife with his bare hands, is a Christian, and discovered those ancient Greek artifacts in the Med.
You’re right. Putin was helping America when he was in the KGB as Colonel too.
