America's 1% consist of more than 350 Billionaires who lobby to promote corrupt practice in governments around the world and America's elected body of representatives just put on a show that's no different than any tail wagging the dog.

America is 3/4 Christian values but when it comes time to take it up the ass it's a whole new matter of concern. What a man prefers up his ass is a private affair, keep it at home and keep it private.

As far as Russia vs the U.S. Military goes. Russia has long range stand off weapons that promise to hit back unlike poor 3rd world countries under 300 mile range munitions restrictions. Russia also has the weapons to defend or egress in ways not know to You-Tube enthusiasts -which is the primary source of Intel for most people.

Anyone that follows global history knows how Russia has been demonized all through the years. 300 years ago "Peter The Great" made Russia great again and for 300 years the America and the UK have been trying to lay siege to Russia's vast and untapped resources.

As for Putin, I see "Peter The Great" in him and rising to meet the challenge after 67 years of recovery from when the world watched as Hitler's 3rd Reich has its way 1942. No other nation on earth suffered more loss than Russia over WWII.

For those who don't know Peter, he stripped the churches of capital punishments they used to burn people alive at the stake. He also melted their church bells to make cannon balls for battles, the same battles that ensured the rights of all people to live together under "common rules and laws". He executed his own son for treason and beheaded clergy who conspired against him in his absence. Now that's a leader of all men.
