So tell me this rbohm. What is the export/import difference in the Russia/US trade relation? How about the amount of aid the US government gives to Russia annually? If you believe we need to turn up the pressure list the information so we have a benchmark...

McCain came close to openly advocating war with Russia in 2008 when they invaded Georgia.

Putin, regardless of what type, is more of a leader than Obama will ever be. His consistent he's firm and he lives by a compass regardless of where it points. Obama would do well to watch and learn something.

Commie lover!! Professing such admiration for an ex-KGB agent is about as un-apple pie American as you can get. At least that's what the right wing would have said five years ago, before they all became Commie sympathizers.

Good for her, wonder how long it will take the righties to throw here under the bus, after all, no one is allowed to ever agree with the Presidents actions.

Strange how many of the righties had Nothing to say about Condi but instead used the opportunity to rant about the President and worship their new hero Putin. Never thought I would see the day when the right would fall so far off the tracks that they now admire and wait for every word that comes out of a KGB Agent. I though some of the Left went off their rockers when Bush was in office, I see now that the Right can take it to an entirely new low.

Limiting financial aid to Russia? You give them nothing now, you want to threaten them with giving them less than nothing?
That should work.

A leader of what? Insigating human rght violations? Declaring himself dictator? Being the head of a nation that has a horrific heroine addiction problem? I do not have to wonder why NY has such a large influx of Russian immigrants.
