We need new leadership thinking. Though by the looks of it, we may briefly gain some time while Russia once again eats its own. Too bad we are too busy fighting amongst ourselves to give any serious notice to it.
I'm not sure there's any "new leadership thinking" available to us that could match Putin's ruthlessness, wiliness, and sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies. I mean, what preparation/education could a US political leader have that could prepare them to go up against a former KGB agent who has no respect for human life and is a likely psychopath? American presidents are stupid to think they can "charm" Putin or pacify him.

Russia is run by the same people as 20 years ago, while America is run by the same people as 20 years ago. The only difference is one is done openly.
Is it the Jews who run America? Or maybe the saucer people? Because if you're saying George W. Bush runs America right now, that would be CRAZY.

Quote:
Then, in an odd exchange, Putin mentioned Sergei Lavrov, his chain-smoking, hard-line foreign minister. “Lavrov just returned from London and had problems with his cheeks and lips being swollen,” Putin told Bush. “We might need to take a closer look at what Condi did to him.”
Bush, awkwardly, played along with what seemed to be a bizarre form of xesual innuendo. “Condi is not blind,” he joked.
“And she is a very attractive lady,” Putin replied.
“She is a wonderful lady,” Bush said, then tried to move the conversation along. “Listen, I’d like to get this WTO stuff done in the next couple weeks before we get to St. Petersburg.”
