The Health Threat?

"Basically the idea is that if the Russians don’t want us to do something, we have to do it because otherwise we’re appeasing them and next thing you know Vladimir Putin will be marching on Paris."

This is a fascinating perspective when you think about it. If Putin wanted to bankrupt us by getting us to finance only ineffective and counterproductive systems, he would just have to object to them vocally.

I wonder if there is a way to get him to declare publicly financed health care a threat to Russian security.
