I think Putin is the strongest leader in the world today, and I literally sent an email to the Russian government asking to put me on a whitelist if they decide to invade. http://services.government.ru/en/letters/ So I'm cool with Putin, and cool with just about everything he does over there. But, that kind of power just scares the shit out of me. Slippery slopes and all that. As for traitors, I think we need to start executing every single person holding ANY public office that engages in any form of corruption. No exceptions, if you commit corruption, you get executed immediately after the trial, and your family gets nothing. Public corruption is treason so far as I'm concerned.
