Are you sure you aren't Russian? You guys appear to have a lot in common.
5th generation American of German descent.
Germans don't like Russians. Why do you think there is a Poland for ?
Probably one of the top American experts on Russia, it's, history, people, customs and culture is Condoleezza Rice. The same Condi that G.W. Bush had to advise him how to deal with Russia. And unlike Obama, Bush was able to deal with Russia and Putin and walked away getting what he wanted and was in awe by Putin.
I've been reading as many of Rices papers on Russia and have been learning a lot.
President Obama has surrounded himself with inexperianced and second rate people in his administration. He doesn't have one expert on Russia in his administration.
Obama appeased Russia in 2009 and lost all respect from Russia. Last August during the Putin-Obama staredown over Syria, Obama blinked.
You can #### with the Russians but don't #### with their culture or customs. Russians love competion and aren't scared to fistacuff.
All Putin wants is respect. All bullies and thugs want respect.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Obama administration is behind the foreign LGBT activist and anti Christian atheist activist agitators who are showing up in Russia and agitating in response to Obama being embarrassed or made looking like a fool by Putin while Obama sees Russian dominance growing from his White House.
But I'll give credit where credit is due. At least Obama didn't boycott the Olympics like that Pantywaist Carter did in 1980.
