If you don't mind me asking, are you Russian?
He is right when he says Putin is just looking out for his people. Allies are just countries whose goals happen to be the same at that specific time. Nothing more, nothing less.
No, I am not Russian. I am American. My ancestors are American by birth for at least the last 1 1/2 centuries (that's as far as I have researched at this point). I am actually a political science student, working on my Ph.D. and teaching undergraduate courses.
