Other countries don't want to be lead by others, hence we aren't doing so hot in the leadership department is the wrong thing to say... we should NOT be trying to be in the leadership department, that's why there are more countries that hate us, well I wouldn't say hate... are annoyed by us.

But in general Americans awareness of life in other countries is very vague.

The MSM currently tries to convince Americans to hate Russia/Putin because Putin thinks Obama is a laughing stock who doesn't have the support of the people, and Putin isn't afraid to show it. Unfortunately for the MSM, only the delusional thinks they have any credibility.

I commend Putin for looking out for the interests of Russia. This is why his approval rating is very high. This is something that Obama could take lesson from, but his head is stuck too far up his own ass for that.

Nothing more too it than that.

To quote Putin
"Obama in foreign policy is a monkey with a had grenade" Do you think this is racism or just criticism ? Personally I think Obama is horrible at foreign policy.

Because Cossacks. And because Putin didn't want foreign homosexuals hitting on Russian minors.

Probably because Russia isn't any different than any other country.

There's this assumption that an American judging another country somehow means that person is simply being jingoistic and has been influenced by propaganda when, in fact, that person would be/has been every bit as vocal and accusatory of their own government and society.

Sorry but I will be every bit as vocal against Moscow's shadow armies, illegal invasions, and subversive activities as I am Washington's. If only libertarians had the same standards.

Other than being a bit of an insult to monkeys, it is just criticism. He's given Obama other criticism.

Such as the Obama going on about Edward Snowden. "Obama is like someone trying shear a pig for wool. Lot's of squealing, but little to show for it."


(American Blacks constantly screaming "racism" has no credibility on the world stage. The rest of the world wonders why the rest of America puts up with such a very coddled overly entitled group going on and on about nothing while walking around in $250 clown shoes.)
