3. If we had treated them as a respected international partner, Putin would never have risen to power. WE put Russia back into the “enemy” column when WE created Putin.

Putin was selected/recommended as PM by Yeltsin's Chief of Staff (and son in law) Valentin Yumashev in August 1999. Putin had been working as Yumashev's deputy for about two years, and had been climbing the governmental ladder for almost a decade, starting in the city government of St. Petersburg.
