Oh, if only Clinton had spent time in the green room with Pootie, she would be his close buddy and the Soviet-U.S. relationship would be the bestest!
Clearly, she should have spent more time gazing into his eyes, like Bush.
W looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul and his straight forwrdness and trustworthiness. Biden looked into his eyes and told him he had no soul.
It’s terrible. He’s a disgusting man.
Oh wait. That’s for the Mexican’s and the Chinese. The Russian ruler likes me, so he’s a wonderful man.
I’m concerned by Hillary Clinton’s statement about Vladimir Putin and Russia (below) as one more indication of her hawkish views. Actually, the U.S. fomented the overthrow of the elected Ukrainian government; Crimean citizens voted to be returned to Russia; there is no proof that Russian forces downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17; and it appears that we/NATO and not Russia are taking the “aggressive stance” in Europe.
Here is what else Mrs. Clinton said:
"…And I know that Putin’s someone that you have to continuingly stand up to because like many bullies, he is somebody who will take as much as he possibly can unless you do.
“And we need to get the Europeans to be more willing to stand up, I was pleased they put sanctions on after Crimea and eastern Ukraine and the downing of the airliner, but we’ve got to be more united in preventing Putin from taking a more aggressive stance in Europe and the Middle East.”
Here is more on Mrs. Clinton’s warlike stance, with emphasis on regime-change in Libya: http://original.antiwar.com/…/hillary-clinton-proven-warmo…/
And about our relations with Iran: http://www.commondreams.org/…/diplomacy-works-peace-groups-…
What I find stunning (although I don’t know why really) is according to Andrea Mitchell, HRC is going to lose all three primaries and then the party is going to have to decide whether the party can get behind Bernie and then Biden will have to step in and save the day, Well, if Bernie wins those primaries and the party steps in to try to sabotage him, do they not realize that may piss off Bernie’s supporters who may be angry enough to stay home and not vote regardless of the stakes involved? I believe that would be a huge mistake. I also find it stunning that they are even making such a clam. I would love nothing more to shut Andrea and the rest of them up and have HRC win at least one or two of those primaries just to shut these stupid talking heads up. They were wrong in 2008, 2012 and they haven’t learned a fucking thing.
I don’t doubt what you’re saying about Andrea but I’m really surprised she would make such a crazy statement like that. Maybe she’s just trolling for Trump. Her and her husband are just such horrible people.
I think Clinton will win Iowa and then South Carolina easily. Sometimes Andrea Mitchell just keeps talking until her words become a jumbled mess of ‘huh’ with a huge question mark at the end.
I think it’s a smart answer. Putin is a bully. He’s someone you have to keep your eyes on and be smart about.
She and her sidekick Chris Cilizza do this almost on a daily basis They are obsessed with Hilllary. What I think is even more irresponsible is to make any assumptions whatsoever. She and her husband are horrible people indeed.
You are right. As of late, Andrea Mitchell seems to chomp at that bit to use any argument to delegitimize Hillary Clinton’s prospects, policies or standing. It is an obsession.
