Vladimir Putin has a great many friends and would have proved to have been a very good friend to the West if that POS Barack Hussein hadn't presented him as an enemy in order to gain political advantage because so many people couldn't understand that today's Russian Federation is poles apart from the long extinct USSR.
In addition he was playing the "Red Under The Bed" card and that the RF was just the USSR under a new name to suit his own agenda which probably made sense to so many people who had been brought up (wrongly) believing that Russia was their natural enemy.
The fact that the RF under Vlad's leadership was playing hard ball against islamic encroachment in the Middle East and in the southern states of the Russian Federation did NOT line up with Barack Hussein's blatantly obvious agenda either.
