Whether it's Rush saying it or yours truly, it's not a good thing when an old Soviet leader sounds more like American presidents used to sound compared to the current Oval Office occupant. But the unfathomable is made possible on a global level when you have a president and a party that has fundamentally transformed America, diminishing her standing in the world..."Do you realize what you have done?"
"Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent went to the United Nations yesterday and said to the rest of the world 'Do you people know what you have done?' by supporting the Arab Spring and by launching all this Muslim activity in the Middle East. 'Do you know what you've done?' And it was Vladimir Putin speaking up for Democratic values and freedom and liberty, and not the President of the United States at the UN. It's just stunning."
"I never thought I'd see the day where the Soviet leader (and that's what Putin wants to be) was saying things that you had to pause and consider for a moment. And I never thought I'd see the day where on one hand you've got the Soviet leader, the other hand the President of the United States, and being conflicted. Never thought I'd see that day.
Putin said, 'We believe that any attempt to play games with terrorists, let alone arm them, are not just shortsighted. This may be and may result in the global terrorists threat increasing dramatically and engulfing new regions.' I mean, he's pointing his finger right at us and Obama's hands off policy and Obama's quest to make sure everybody understands that there's nothing at all in common between ISIS and Islam.
Think about this. We have a former K -- well, no one ever leaves the KGB -- KGB agent President of Russia, a Russian leader, schooling us on human rights and moral clarity. That's just unfathomable."
Things are very upside down indeed.
