Putin was KGB. Before he went crazy, he WAS smart. I don't understand this clunky, stupid thinking that says people who are evil can't be smart too. As I previously said, Hitler was a demon from hell. The problem was, he was also a gifted public speaker. So what?
Why do we, as free Americans (if you are, I doubt it) have to be SO STUPID as to think that evil people cannot be smart? This idiotic binary thinking and the Puritanical **GASP** "you can't say that" crap has just got to go.
Stop being so easily triggered, too.
