I've not really learned enough of Putin to judge him but the Russians in my book are good people but they are like us. They are tough and if you back them into a corner they will fight. I'd rather see everyone on good terms because a war with Russia or China would be world devastating. At least Russia and the US are getting along but we definitely don't want them hooking up with China against us. It would be one helluva fight, no? Tina, Houston, Texas
