Putin can't be trusted worth a damn, so we don't know what tomorrow brings. With all due respect, we need to watch Cuba very carefully always until such time that we manage to help them become a democracy we can trust and a trusted ally. There is no comfortable neutrality when it comes to communist dictatorships.

He has paper-skin, hasn't seen the sun, and the smoke and nicotine along with the drugs and reanimator juice they are pumping into him are not helping in the least. Give him less than 6 months. He will die, the people will revolt, Democracy will rule again and another communist country will again be sent to the dust-bin of histor. one less resort for Sheehan to play in.

Personally, I’d rather just have him “disappear”, because when he dies, we’ll all have to listen to every “progressive” (i.e., regressive) in office lament his passing. All the while the MSM will tell us how many U.S. Presidents he’s outlived. Who freakin’ cares? He’s a socialist dictator! And as <strong>Mr_Conservative_Cat</strong> points out, he’s not in charge. Maybe it will be like that fine socialist workers paradise in North Korea. You know, that type of socialism that hates monarchies so much they would never allow an heir to take over? Oops. My bad. Would someone please tell me the difference between a brutal, dictatorial monarchy and brutal, dictatorial socialism? Liberal hypocrites.

Liberals are upset by losing one of their rock stars and by the cigar smoke. Adding greenhouse gases might even make it a triple bonus!
