And yeah the thing about doing it for americans - meh, I can gloss over that, and put it down to the OTT patriotism a lot of americans have *based on what I see/hear/read*, which isn't a dig at any americans here, it's just the way it seems to be over there. I still say well done to the bloke, with the caveat that I'm not completely versed in the whole thing  |
the american thing isn't really about patriotism though. it's a lack of follow-through. when actions don't match up to words, people begin to question integrity, that's human nature. he should know that and know that consequently, by going to russia, in particular, calls into question his integrity.
let's not forget, the guy is a fucking spook to begin with.
