Putin is great, seeing a leader push back against the western elite is brilliant indeed. He is working against the EU, so that's one good point, he is also working against Washington, so yet another good point.
Putin has been totally right about all the western interventions in the middle east. He is a far more effective and logical world leader than Washington can ever hope to be.
As Russia and China grow closer together we are seeing the creation of the future dominant power block in the world. India, Brazil, South Africa, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Argentina, DPRK and Syria are with them to.
One can tell Washington is worried as the Russian and Chinese forces combined are vastly superior to those of the US and from this point on the US military will grow weaker and smaller. All empires fall in the end!
