The planet earth needs a humanitarian to also stop the chemical companies in China, US, et al. to cease and desist the spraying of the atmosphere, and then, but of course, the imbalance in the food chain - but, as Prime Minister Putin has also proven, the deepest part of our ecosystem WATER is looking a little murky. Thus, when the depths of the 98% of what we are as humans is a little murky - "as above so below" - we are 98% H2O too, and this means in the depth of our being we are a little murky indeed.

Most people have a very high opinion of Prime Minister Putin, but we keep hearing that he is a billionaire. Can this be true? He always projects the image of someone who is a champion of the little, working man. If this is not true, RUSSIA TODAY NEWS should set the matter straight. More straightforward news about P. M. Putin should be given by RT without all the praise. The last thing that the Russian Federation needs is "man worship" like has been the case in the United Stated news media. They literally worship everything about Obama and most Americans are getting tired if it. The Russian news media owes it to the people to present P. M. Putin as he is. They may want Mr. Putin as their President upon the next Presidential election.
