KS,
Tweedle DUMB knows exactly what he is doing. That's what should frighten all of us. It is always only what is best for his narrow interests, namely fattening his bankroll at the expense of others to prove how great he is compared to his fellow oligarchs. I am convinced that he does not have my modest interests in mind nor the future health and happiness of my family. 
I would love to be friends with Russia, but not the evil dictator Putin. He is a killer. Tweedle deadly.
