Another one of your posts which I have flagged as uncivil, Roy.  You're really on a roll today!

But just to answer your uncivil and untruthful rant, Putin, while clearly no friend of freedom or democracy (who as a world leader is, these days?), is far, far from the reincarnation of Hitler that Hillary and her neocon bedfellows would have us believe.  His military responses and threats have only been proportional (if that) to the nakedly aggressive moves by NATO, and I fail to see ANY warmongering from his end, unlike our own --- it was the US that invaded Iraq, and Afghanistan, and started the outsider bombing in Syria, not Putin.  And where were Putin's so-called "land grabs"?  Ukraine?  Still a sovereign nation.  Crimea?  A historic part of Russia which voted over 97% to return to Russia.

But I do applaud Putin's sheltering of the American HERO Edward Snowden, who courageously revealed the many crimes being routinely conducted by the US NSA Department, aka Big Brother.
