re: #166 Gus 802

You’re praising Putin to criticize our president? Putin who has stood as an obstacle towards any military action against Iran? Russia is literally an ally of the Iranian regime.

I am not praising Putin. He is as you say a bad hat.

But he faces a naive opponent - and probably can hardly believe his luck.

Obama should have planned to be in Berlin today - to underscore the superiority of democratic freedom over any sort of Soviet system.

Refusing the invite of the German Chancellor looks like a calculated insult.
