| [An Nahar] When Russian paratrooper Nikolai Kozlov was deployed to Crimea to help Moscow take over the peninsula from Ukraine, his parents were proud of him. Six months later Kozlov is disabled for life, an amputee now recovering in hospital from wounds incurred on a Kremlin-orchestrated covert mission to Ukraine to prop up separatists fighting against Kiev. The paratrooper's uncle, Sergei Kozlov, said his brother asked him to help take care of the young man in the hospital. |

| #3 And Obama as well, since that description fits Obama voters as well. Definitely. Was listening to Donk call-ins on CSPAN yesterday. It is surprising how many of these calls were Kool-Aid drinkers still. You have to wonder what color their sky is? |

| #1 It looks like most Russians are still peasants in their mindset, blinding themselves to the truth, readily accepting state propaganda that contradicts reality, and blinding themselves, wrapping themselves in their own ethnic mythology. It's what keeps Putin in power. And Obama as well, since that description fits Obama voters as well. |
