Vlad Putin, KGB guy, working an agenda even when not at the head of State. Invades an old territory that was really still Russia just 20 something years ago. Would be like because of economic crisis in our country we granted Texas their independence in a treaty with NATO, and then the world freaking out when our economy got better, going back in and reclaminig her.
Texas is strategic to us. The Black Sea is strategic to Russia.
In Dick Cheney's case, he's been in the CIA and behind most admiinstrations since the Johnson Administration, or Nixon. He never officially took the reins but that wouldn't fly in the US like Russia. Dick used his influence and puppets and de facto ruling of this country to invade Iraq, a distant sovereign nation. And he did so lying to Congress through his surrogates to get us all to pay for it too.
I'm really searching to see a distinct fundamental difference between the two men. So far the only thing I'm seeing is that Vlad's actions in the Ukraine are expected, what we would all be behind here if it was taking Texas back. That thing with Iraq...yeah...not so much..
