Alexander Kireev is a Russian blogger living in the US:
Discussions about Russia always come
with some blatant untruths, and the latest democratic debates are no exception.
Hillary stated that "the so-called leading opposition figure spends most
of his time praising Putin". Who was she referring to, exactly? A lack of
trustworthy information about Russia
is scary, but that's not all... Clinton
could not pronounce Medvedev's last name.
She's always talking about her experience, including in the realm of international affairs. A candidate that boasts experience and knowledge should know the surname of a person who will shortly become president of a nuclear-armed state. Trying to pronounce the name of Putin's successor, Clinton used the word "whatever". This shows disregard, even disrespect. What for? Why personally insult someone that - if you both become presidents- you will have to meet often and discuss important issues? All this in addition to the personal dig she made at Putin."
