As Russian born and Russian speaking I do watch Russian news as much as USA news I can say this - Putin told Obama - I don't care of what u do, just get the oil prices back up. There are no private assets left in the USA.
Putin has no respect for Obama. Russian's don't have any respect for people who are cowards and wont stand up for what they believe in.
If Obama had a sack and used it Putin would have a little respect for Obama.
Obama doesn't have a clue what is going on period. Most uninformed president ever. He just guessing. Putin is thee most informed man ever. Russia have Isis out flanked. As soon as Putin cleans up Syria Iraq will be next then Libya
I may not like Putin, but I do respect the guy. He is one tough and smart man. He maybe a war criminal and a ruthless dictator but he handles business.
The problem is Obama has no back bone and cant make a decision if his life depended on it. He is to stupid to realize he needs to pick a side in this. We need to join with the Assad Government to fight ISIS and then deal with Assad later. We cant just go in fighting blindly pissing off all of the countries who support Assad. I don't agree with Assad at all, he is not a good guy but he is better then the alternative. Besides we teamed up with someone much worse in WW2, Joseph Stalin.
Frankly we should come to some military cooperation agreement against ISIS with Russia, between our two countries and our other coalition partners we can destroy them. Obama is to stupid to realize that though.
