Teddy Roosevelt on Russians
-
He had first hand experience dealing with them as it was he who negotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese war. (Which earned him the Nobel peace prize)
Suffice it to say he was not impressed. Both of these quotes are from letters he wrote around that time.
“What I cannot understand about the Russian, is the way he will lie when he knows perfectly well that you know he is lying.”
“No human beings, black, yellow or white, could be quite as untruthful, as insincere, as arrogant - in short, as untrustworthy in every way - as the Russians,”
"You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from."

As Vlad continues to prove Roosevelt correct. It's nice to hear him say he has no intention of using nukes, but that's what he'd say if he wanted our guard down.
As I've said before, there are two kinds of people in the world. The first kind tells you it's raining, and you think, "Oh. It's raining.". The second kind tells you the same thing and your reaction is "Now why would they want it to be raining?'.
