No, I am questioning why you think that matters. If we had a dictator system, we too could say our leader has years of global experience because the president wouldn't need to step down.

It has nothing to do with being a dictator.

Putin has KGB in his resume while Obama has "community organizer".

ROFL

So we should be electing presidents from the CIA and FBI? Again, don't see the importance with what Putin use to do before becoming a dictator.

Well that's the very reason we have a community activist sitting in the Oval Office.
There's no importance in having experience.

Do tell. I'd love to hear the productive skills in democratic leadership that one must have learned in the KGB.

You have to wonder about those two and their shared insecurities. Putin makes great attempts at displaying his physical prowess and manhood, Obama makes efforts to show off his intelligence and academic achievements. both come across as phonies.

Major world power definitely telling the US to back away.

No it isn't, he was an oil millionaire who got into politics because he was rich.

The sad thing is, it's all about oil (again).

The Russians and Chinese don't give a fig for the Syrian people, nor anyone else in the world.

The sooner we can gain our independence from oil the better it will be for us.
