Listening to Poroshenko a few days ago and then to Obama at the UNGA can leave no doubt whatsoever about the fact that the AngloZionist Empire is at war with Russia. Yet many believe that the Russian response to this reality is inadequate. Likewise, there is a steady stream of accusations made against Putin about Russia's policy towards the crisis in the Ukraine. What I propose to do here is to offer a few basic reminders about Putin, his obligations and his options.

"He wasn't anything to do with the government there. They just wanted to stop him coming back to Australia. I don't want anyone else to experience this.

The miasma of corruption & nefariousness in Government !
Each of the pair is as bad and big a rogue as the other. It is now clear to all and sundry that no matter what part of the country produces a leader, the leader is part of the rotten system. A bad tree will always produce rotten fruits, no matter what part of the tree you care to pick your fruits from.
Nigeria has always been found wanting in radical disciplined visionary leadership, and no society can produce effective leadership when both citizenry and politicians/business men/religious leaders are rotten to the core. Any leadership is as good or as a bad as its people. A leadership will always reflect the predisposition of the people.
