“I say we give Putin a hand”

Hmmm. Like Putin gave a hand to America by providing Iraq high ranking generals to devise Saddam’s defense plan and providing GPS jamming equipment to stop American satellite guided bombs? That kind of help?

Putin is a KGB snake who pines for the old Soviet Empire. It isn’t just all of the Russian Federation he wants to hold onto, he also has designs on the Baltic states which are now members of NATO.

Putins’ greatest achievement to date is solidifying his domination over Russia by centralizing information and economic power. Russia is moving backward under Putin.

That doesn’t mean America shouldn’t cooperate with Putin WHERE NECESSARY in order to fight terrorism. But for God’s sake let us not unthinkingly embrace Putin and his awful stewardship of Russia.
