While this is no doubt accurate, it remains true that Putin and his cronies are greedily feasting at the trough of Mother Russia, while leaving his People to starve. He's a modern day Tzar, with just as few scruples.

Indeed, very similar to Trump- only Trump is lazy and stupid.

We could use some improvement, it's a 'ratings chase' now instead of a public service like it once was when I was growing up.

But in Russia, I don't think they're chasing ratings. The government shapes the news there.

Here, we ask leaders tough questions. The MAGA system is, if they don't like the questions, they scream 'fake news' and deflect with more fake news to try to shape opinion.

Did they learn that from watching Russian news services?

Nice song, I remember when it was new.


The 'power' of the US isn't fading, we're just stuck with an idiot head of state who lies a lot and can't govern. Makes us look bad abroad. It won't last forever.

The Cheeto Fuhrer is doing lasting damage that is hurting our ability to stay ahead in the global race.

That's straight from the inside.

Playing catch up is always more difficult. It remains to be seen if those in charge of running this country even consider it a priority, because it might actually cost them money.

No. He's not. The path he's put his nation on is not sustainable. He's a fool. He is MUCH smarter than Trump, however. I'll give you that.

He's smarter than you are.

And he's smarter than most people running their country.

So name names, sandwich; who's smarter than him and running their country?

Perhaps, but I am smarter than you so I'll take that with a grain of salt.

How long have you adored him? Just curious.

Just realized I didn't asnwer your question.

Here's one:

Angela Merkel

Didn't occur to you because of her vag, perhaps?

Another bumbling attempt at distraction?

I'm not sexist; maybe you are since you're bringing it up so much.

Since you asked; Mrs Merkel doesn't seem to be doing such a good job keeping the Eurozone together and thriving at the moment. They're currently headed for their own banking crisis at a breakneck pace and Merkel's austerity programs (for others of course, not Germany) are making things worse.

Putin, for better or worse, is reassembling the Soviet Union and modernizing his military, both things the West- Merkel included- seem to be unable or unwilling to stop.

I'm not a fan of the things Mr Putin is doing or the way he's doing them, but it never pays to underestimate or ignore the accomplishments of your enemies.

Merkel is playing within the confines of good global stewardship while Putin has turned russia into a self-serving (yet unsustainable) organized crime organization and he's smarter than Merkel. Are you really nutty enough to believe that? Wow. Just wow
