LOL @ Vladimir Putin's weird obsession with the west.

[Mr I]

Gonna be so interesting to see how Trump plays this one.

One minute praises putin and looks forward to working with him, next minute completely rubbishes one if Russia's closest historic allies that just died and potentially unravels all the work obama did.

Castro's brother seems "less commy" with his willingness to open up to the west in the way that he has. I think he pictures American tourism bringing in big bucks.

Cuba is 90 miles from key West Florida. Huge potential for American tourism and trade. Could transform the country. The leaders of Cuba would have to be daft not to realize that a good relationship with America will be far more lucrative compared to the old ideology.

Do you invite the press and make a statement regarding relations between countries when you give something to your friend?

Vlad could easily have mailed it or given it to him at a private event. Don't be simple. You've got Rado agreeing with you so you know you must at the very least revaluate your position. :D

Hahaha. Insult rado now ya ass. I think Putin is smarter than you are giving him credit for but anyway... move on.

I think Putin is brilliant. If you think I'm somehow calling him stupid you are mistaken.

Yeah, but that's not the point. The point is Trump 's approach is very anti government, ostensibly the same type of government Putin is and Putin was long time freinds with.

So Trump is showing right off the bat his hand. Obama was more diplomatic
