Excellent point Bernie. Putin reminds me of ( this will take you back) little Markie, banging his spoon on his high chair and demanding, " I want my Maypo!!!!". This kind of spirit in power is always dangerous but it raises two questions in my mind. First, why do the allegedly sane democratic nations uniformly fail to stand up to stop these tyrants before they cause immense pain and damage? Second, how indoctrinated does one have to be to not see the similarities between Putin and Trump? It's like they are soulmates who are different only in that one is bound by a liberal democratic country and the other is not. The lessons of history never stop communicating their wisdom. It is we who suffer because we grow weary of listening to them.
