Proud Republican,
I've been puzzled for many years about the comments and reports from this nation's media, and the attitude they display toward Russia.
There seems to be a complete hitch in their get-along in their lack of understanding that the USSR no longer exists, either territorially or in the subsequent government of Russia.
For years before we were attacked on 9/11, our media consistently reported that the "freedom fighters" of Chechnya were being cruelly oppressed by Russia, never understanding these so-called "freedom fighters" were savage blood thirsty Muslim terrorists attempting to impose their own sharia government.
After the WTC was destroyed, Putin called George W. offering his assistance, and he voiced the sentiments that we were now fighting the same enemy he had fought for years, believing we would now understand.
That didn't happen. Instead, the media and government went into overdrive to pacify the muslims in our own country.
God forbid that any muslim should be looked at cross-eyed!
In his speeches, Obama often belittled and literally ridiculed Putin, as if he wished to make of him an enemy, thus boosting his already severely bloated ego.
Putin is currently being pulverized in the press because he is supporting Bashar Assad. Thank God he is supporting Bashar Assad, as we lack the good sense to do so.
Bashar Assad is the only man in Syria who will continue to defend the Christians and other minorities, as his father did for sixty years.
I admire Vladimir Putin for the law he sponsored through the duma blocking homosexual activists in Russia from being able to propagandize or attempt to recruit Russian school students, as they have so successfully done in our own country for at least twenty years now.
Vladimir Putin is also to be admired for encouraging married couples in Russia to have children to support their dwindling population. All our country has managed is compulsory financial support for birth control on every health insurance policy, whether wanted or not.
Unfortunately, many among our sadly confused leaders and media have much to learn, and some of it they could learn from Russia, and Russia's leader.

Wasnt what Americans used to say about russia back in 1979, This was the year that my family came from former Soviet Union.It was in the middle of cold war. There was a lot of misinformation about about Russia back then.Government used to say that russian people want to destroy United States, That russia want nuclear war. So what happened at the end??? Nothing. US is still around. Idont understand why American people afraid of russia so much.We were friend for yrs. Why we have to be enemies now,just because our governments acted stupid??? What happened during 2016 election was unfortunate. But there blame to go around on both governments. Mr Putin meddled in our elections for yrs in fact goes back 50yrs ago. So why is it so different now? Because Republican won and not just anybody, but a guy who had no political experience whatsoever,and democrat with yrs and yrs of political experience lost??? Is that what bothers all of you on the left??? Get over it,please.Its time to move on,!!! In the words of Rodney King..."CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG ? "Thank you for listening.
