Putin's Op-Ed

You may not trust him, you may not believe him but what specifically does Putin say in his op-ed that as one of our members of congress says "makes you want to vomit?"

 

Exceptional: not typical; unusual, uncommon, abnormal, atypical, extraordinary, rare, unprecedented, unexpected, surprising.

Exceptionalism: the condition of being different from the norm; a theory expounding the exceptionalism especially of a nation or region; the perception that a country, society, institution, movement, or time period is unusual or extraordinary in some way and thus does not need to conform to normal rules or general principles. ...

What people does not believe in their own exceptionalism?

My guess is you trust Putin as much as the Russian people trust Obama.

Responses from various members of our government are great examples of ideological amplification.
