RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:HOMOPHONESPlease stop that line of retoric. I don't support or admire anyone. Your so well researched and I respect that about you but where is the proof of all his assets????? Russia has never been a democracy since it began to exist. When they broke apart and in its ruins the West could have helped them and guided them and introduced democratic reforms. They choose not to do so as America I guess always needs an advisary. There would have been zero need for NATO if America did this but it was that was contrary Zbigniew Brzezinski plan for US policy . He who controls the EuroAsian land mass controls the world. Russian asked to join NATO, they also asked to join the European Union......always rebuffed. What is a proud nation to do?? Let's not forget without Russian we would all be doing solutes to Hitler right now ....or should the world forget about that sacrifice. Their a proud nation and people. I work with some and are they are beasts. They work their buts off and are loyal and respectful.
