Can anyone justify Putin kissing this young boy on the stomach like this? Is this Russian tradition? Someone please provide a logical explanation for this.

PLease forgive my below rant. I don't want you thinking I am a Putin lover/basher with an agenda...

I don't play partisan politics and see beyond what I perceive to be the puppets which we call "elected world leaders".

That being said, Putin was the better of all evils in regards to many things on the global scale. Many even believe he is going to stop the NWO. Yes he is a corrupt leader who gains finance off his dealings but he seems less bad as the others (depends on your opinion).

Please be careful who we turn to for hope...we might get stung.
