meaningless propaganda , yes but the optics are good.
Russia sent a missile to ISIS inscribed with ." That's for Paris" on it
and now they sent a really adorable puppy in honor of Diesel, the police dog killed by the ISIS terrorists.
Think any of that resonates with the French and the rest of the civilized world?

Putin is an evil but savvy dude.
BO? Savvy doesn't come to mind, maybe not evil either but for sure clueless ( JV and contained come to mind as does the asurrance we are vetting all syrian refugees)

Putin is not evil.

Some of the people murdered at his direction might disagree
but ok let's call him autocratic and not a very nice man.
The point is Russia which is not known for its' fuzzy gestures did these things which will be appreciated by many in civilized world
