[quote]President Vladimir Putin has given credit to his US counterpart Barack Obama for recognizing the erroneous decisions on Libya. "Firstly, this fact confirms once again that the current US president is a decent person," Putin said during the annual televised question-and-answer session on Thursday. "It’s very good that my colleague has the courage to make such statements - far from everyone can do that," the Russian president said, adding that this is the evidence of a strong personality. According to Putin, cooperation with US President Barack Obama will continue until the end of his presidential term. [/quote] I know this isn't giant news but with the headlines involving Russia and the US almost always being negative lately I thought this would be a breath of fresh air.

If you watch any serious interview with him, he comes across as highly intelligent and articulate person. He even has 3 higher education degrees. The thing is that he is in cooperation with Putin, he just performs as a political clown which is trying to actively oppose Putin's party. Not a lot of common folk are aware of it.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;50134176]And I can't imagine a world where Hilary doesn't capitulate on the issues when moneys offered[/QUOTE] Okay so how is that going to work? Putin is just gonna roll into the White House and drop off a briefcase of cash then the next day the United States announces it's reducing missile defense in Europe? I get that you want to make an epic zinger about Clinton and that there clearly aren't enough threads to get one in anywhere else, but it comes off as clumsy when you try to make parallels between financing ones campaign and foreign policy.
