Why the ballwashing for Putin on board? His country is bankrupt - except for the oligarchs who run and own it, his people live in squalor, 10 percent of the government revenues come from liquor sales, but hey - he is running around BO by getting more and more involved in the ME - a place that has proven to be nothing but quicksand for everyone who stuck their toe in it....genius all right
