Putin has done nothing but enrich ordinary Russians, while at the same time he is fighting Islamofascists and their idiot Leftists, exactly as we are. It is Putin that has set virtual free trade zones where any ordinary Russian can go about and bring goods free of duty into the country. I know many friends that have become overnight millionaires because of this. Real-estate is booming and many Russian ex-pat are coming back. Of course, you wont hear any of this on CNN and the BBC.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132252460964519368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-15873421862979623942007-04-17T11:30:00.000-04:002007-04-17T11:30:00.000-04:00met, good point, the exercise of realpolitik. bett...met, good point, the exercise of realpolitik. better the devil we know.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-76274940583315350392007-04-17T11:21:00.001-04:002007-04-17T11:21:00.001-04:00Russia is fighting the same sort of enemy we are. ...Russia is fighting the same sort of enemy we are.
