[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 5186464, member: 56035"] lawrence wilkerson: It's a long history. And I certainly understand. I don't support Putin. I don't think Putin is a very good leader. I don't think his way of wiping out his opposition is particularly savory, but I do understand his strategic grasp and I do understand the fact that his military leaders are very frightened by the creep of NATO. I shouldn't say the creep [but rather] the onslaught of NATO. Indeed, my President, George W.
