Putin knows how to play the game. So did Hitler. When it comes to diplomatic negotiations, there are similarities between them.

Putin was with the KGB for 16 years before heading up the modern equivalent of it, the FSB. Both agencies have a long history of terrorism and deception. The Russians are masters at the complex game of chess. Most of us, unfortunately, have trouble with simple checkers. Russia is currently in the process of restoring the Soviet Union, or something not too much different from it. They're probably laughing their butts off at how easily they have manipulated minds over here. Nothing new really, they've been at it for a long time.

Useful idiots

Thomas Sowell
May 20, 2003

Thomas Sowell

"The term 'useful idiots' has been attributed to Lenin, as a description of those mindless people in the Western democracies who would always find ways to excuse whatever the Soviet Union did. Columnist Mona Charen's new book Useful Idiots shows that such people are still with us.

Long after the Soviet Union's horrors had become too widely known around the world for their sympathizers in the West to be able to get away with whitewashing the USSR, new Communist dictatorships arose to become the new objects of the affections of the Western intelligentsia and of like-minded people in the media and in politics. ..." http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2003/05/20/useful_idiots
