mr putin is the fairly elected leader of a large nation he worked hard to bring the olympic games to sochi he has maintained dialogue with the u s not like north korea he is not hitler i do admit that the analogy was a little bad his denial that russian forces are in ukraine wasn't the best example of a conflict of interest putin says that ethnic russians in ukraine are involved not russian military forces a better example might be the governor that recently pardoned his own son amaryllisgardener did not address the issue of a nominator of a rfa removing comments and blocking others that is a serious conflict of interest since it is using administrative powers for their own personal gain which is to see their nominating rfa succeed still i have expressed sorrow and have said that i will move on and let it go the fact remains that after the hour block i have tried to act nicely despite being treated not very nicely amaryllisgardener is telling a non truth i am sorry to say please leave me alone and do not post additional comments unless you have something nice to say
