4. Madeline Albright's op-ed in the NY Times calls him "...Small...pale...cold...reptilian..."

As Secretary of State, she had a 3 hour meeting with him in 2000, and that was from her notes flying home. So much for seeing what passes for his soul.

Dr. Albright wrote this week:

I have been reminded in recent months of that nearly three-hour session with Mr. Putin as he has massed troops on the border with neighboring Ukraine. After calling Ukrainian statehood a fiction in a bizarre televised address, he issued a decree recognizing the independence of two separatist-held regions in Ukraine and sending troops there.

Mr. Putin’s revisionist and absurd assertion that Ukraine was “entirely created by Russia” and effectively robbed from the Russian empire is fully in keeping with his warped worldview. Most disturbing to me: It was his attempt to establish the pretext for a full-scale invasion.

And here we are.

With thanks to my DU friends who enabled me to get to the article, which I then saved.

5. It was W who said a dictatorship in America wouldn't be bad, as long as he was the dictator.

This push for fascism isn't an American or Russian phenomena, it is worldwide and fueled by oligarchs with unlimited resources and lust for power.
