Remember in 2000 .......
When Putin came to power? Just a year later 9-11 had the U.S. In shock. China was utterly silent about it. Putin actually came to the U.S."Putin's pro-American plan was not simply tactical. Putin's policies of support after September 11, including his agreement to an American military presence in Central Asia, represented a significant shift in Russian foreign policy. The potential for breakthrough - for a fundamentally new and improved relationship between Russia and the West - has never been greater"
"One notable moment in the Putin charm campaign came in November 2001 in rural Crawford, Texas, a tiny town in the center of the state with a population back then of 705 residents. Count President George W. Bush among them. He owned a ranch just outside of town — he'd named the property Prairie Chapel — and he and first lady Laura Bush had invited the Russian leader and his wife Lyudmila to spend the night.
There was work for the two leaders — recall that this was just two months after the terror attacks of 9/11 — with discussion of global threats and how the United States and Russia could work together to fight terrorism".
George Bush " I looked in his eyes and I could tell he was a good man!"
Six years later the new, improved Putin had this to say about the our financial crisis and near collapse.
"The world will never trust the U.S. again."

Oh, and who can forget about the disasterous "Russian Reset" created by the 0bama administration in which hillary clinton was the Secretary of State? I sure didn't.
