Of course Putin is a warped little creep who has not a common decent bone in his body, but I think if we had a real President, that little commie barstad would never have gotten the nerve to open this can of worms. That's not to say that I think we should get all that actively involved--especially while we are being invaded by every kind of ne'er-do-wells who exist on the planet.
I have talked with Russians who migrated here to the USA and they say that we are turning into the same thing that they got the heck out of Russia for. One said he was really seriously looking for somewhere else to go, but didn't know where that would be. My thought is that our best hope is to not allow the lefties to have their way--even if it means we have to have an uncivil war to run them off.
