No, The problem I have with that is the former leader of Russia, the drunkard Boris, picked Putin, because he was the only honest man he foun in the circle around him. He had the last laugh at the CIA at the time. The man has character that's not found in our politcos who like most Big corporate CEO's are psychopaths.
President Putin, in 20 years brought Russia into the modern world and rebuilt a modern Russian military,all without the US having a clue. Russians love him, because their living standards are as good as the West.
