  1. Vladimir Putin has a lot to his credit. He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he rose to be leader of the Russian Federation. I would say he has more to his credit than a lot of world leaders globally.

  2. How is Putin’s health ? Heard he has Parkinson’s and that may be causing his need to act aggressively. Thank you wondering.
    , as having been with people with Parkinson’s they sometimes feel compromised when they are not. Not making excuses, just trying to find solutions. His cost reward meter is way off and history will not find favor in Putin’s aggressive action.
