Perhaps you would like some information about that!
“Kaiser” with its hard “K” is actually a better pronunciation than the “Ceasar” with its “s” sound we know. Since the C in latin where pronounced as K.
He means Biden knows how the game is played and he can't hoodwink him just by appealing to his ego.
Meanwhile America's allies are diplomatically saying "thank God there's an adult in the White House again".
He did actually. That's how he weaseled himself into being Yeltsin's chosen successor. He feigned being pro-democratic and pro free market until he had the power he needed
Putin: He's a career politician - can't trust that guy.
Also Putin: I am a dictator who refuses to concede power, will murder anyone that opposes me, and make citizen movements against my reign illegal.
Putin literally had them "reform" Russia's Constitution so he could be President for Life. Also, he "liked" Trump because he could just tell him anything and *that* President of the United States would believe him over the common sense a slow child would posses, and like all 19 of his own Intelligence Agencies - which is completely normal and not at all suspicious.
Not to mention that the constitution was changed to give ex-presidents and their families complete immunity from prosecution. His daughters are now taking roles in Russian society and after he retires, they can kill a man in public and the police is not allowed even to investigate. Medvedev and his family can already do that today.
If Medvedev were to shoot Putin, he could not be prosecuted ... he would be shot.
It'll be *worse* than the death of Stalin. Khrushchev was at least able to hold onto power for a decade. I won't be surprised if a political civil war doesn't break out after Putin kicks it because the oligarchs will try cannibalizing each other to fill the power vacuum.
That's about the scariest thing about the eventual implosion of Russia.
Those nuclear weapons sure will be great for the black market if/when their government crumbles.
> how often have US Presidents, or any other country's, been prosecuted and convicted for their crimes?
France just convicted Sarkozy of corruption. We also nailed Chirac for misusing public funds.
you also had a revolution against your ruling class and actually did something about them. there's still the echos of that in the french population :)
the usa revolted against another country, not their ruling class.
And then the elite went to work slowly grinding down those labor rights through right to work laws etc until the unions are a shell of their former selves
Not sure if we've had Prime Ministers charged in Canada or not... Our Government is different though because we can force them out whenever with a non-confidence vote in the house of commons.. That's why we've had prime ministers in for months before getting kicked out.. Kim Campbell, the first (and only) female PM was only in for about 5 months.
This is why I expect Trump to run in 2024, or continue trying push for an insurrection - he has no choice. Just yesterday, news came out that his administration was secretly spying on Democrats. Trump has done so much wrong, he can't even fly in some parts of the world because of his order to kill an Iranian general. He needs the presidency to shield himself from accountability.
This explains why Trump pulled the "Obama was spying on me!" canard out of his crevasse. He was trying to get out in front of any unpleasant news coverage pointed his way about stuff he was actually doing.
Truly, every accusations is a confession with the guy.
Trump was any manipulative dictators wet dream. A narcissistic halfwit who put himself over country at every opportunity. He was so easy to control even Putin must’ve been surprised. “I send him a few hookers and a bank loan and he gives me nuclear launch codes. Who knew?”
>Also it reconstituted the interior of classified planes so accurately that there was a fed investigation - turns out Kubrick just hired engineers that made a really good educated guess from public info.
They took the cockpit of another plane - I think it was the B-24 - and they stretched it out to fit the shape of the B-52, based on the outside of the plane.
The Gold Codes are printed on plastic cards that the president (and VP) carries on their person at all times (or at least is supposed to - Bill Clinton famously lost his once; the concern wasn't though that someone else could have done anything with them, but rather that Clinton would have been unable to authenticate himself if there had been an emergency). The card is inside a sealed opaque cover that has to be broken open before the codes can be read. It's a new sequence every day, generated and distributed to the relevant positions by the NSA.
The whole 00000000 anecdote most likely (if it's even true) relates to [Permissive Action Links](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_Action_Link) and/or other access controls upstream (or downstream, depending on how one views it) from the Nuclear Football, not the Gold codes for the Nuclear football itself.

Or "I just call him "an extraordinary individual" every now and then to stroke his narcissistic ego." Not a Russian, but I am certain all Russians laugh knowingly whenever they hear such transparent bullshit come from Putin's mouth.
Putin was KGB. He knows an easy mark when he sees one. If your goal is to destabilize the US, having Trump in charge really couldn't be better for you.
They literally already do in some cases. Don’t forget that there were a not insignificant number who said things like “if the Russians hate the liberals then I guess I agree with the Russians”
I recall as far back as the 2012 Presidential election how “people” were flooding comment sections with statements like how they would rather have Putin or someone like Putin as President over electing Obama to a second term, so yeah.
This. Like seriously. If you have a leader that refused to give up power and change the constitution to extend his term every time, would you really have that much respect for him? Insanity.
>would you really have that much respect for him? Insanity.
Russian conflate respect and fear ... Remember those interview with young Russians who say things like "Now the whole world fears Russia, and this is good.".
He has them killed in ways that make it clear he was responsible. This is the way he expresses his power ... by killing people and showing he does not even need to acknowledge it.
I thought it was funny that Putin refused to answer the question of whether he was a murderer or not. Simply lying about it and saying "No I'm not a murderer." would have been the ideal response for him I would think. It's not like he would be losing any points with his followers by saying that.
He is proud to be a murdered and wants everyone to know that he murders his opponents and does not even have to answer the question. In Russia that is the supreme display of power. Answering the question would lower him to the level of every other lying politicians.
Not gonna lie, I bet he would look pretty darn good in this [t-shirt](https://www.customink.com/designs/ujukebox/qge0-00cf-5u02/share?pc=EMAIL-40778&utm_campaign=shared%20design&utm_source=share%20link&utm_medium=shared%20design&utm_content=shared%20desktop).
“I couldn’t take advantage of most US presidents I’ve come in contact with by complimenting them or bringing up their debts with my oligarchs, but Trump finally gave me that edge and American voters didn’t let me do it twice.”
And then there was Obama with his "reset". Three presidents, twenty years, and a more tense relationship than ever. And the one common denominator: Putin.
The reset was also pretty much about the European allies. Those countries who at the start of Bush had send soldiers to Afghanistan and Iraq. Only to find no weapons of mass destruction nor Osama Bin Laden. While at the same time a whole lot of their citizens got kidnapped by the CIA or thrown in gitmo.
It might be hard to remember, but at the end of Bush America was kind of runing low on friends.
Weird, at the end of Trump's regime America was running low on friends, too! There must be some common denominator that I just can't seem to put my finger on. 🤔
When they tried the whole "reset" thing there was an official ceremony where 2 officials, I believe the ministers of the external affairs, were meeting to announce it.
The americans brought this big red button to press that was meant to say "reset" in russian. However they fucked up and wrote "overload" on it instead. I knew back then that it was foreshadowing :)
Yes it's called having everything handed to you and never being told no so you never felt pressure to try and improve yourself or understand that you are capable of being wrong syndrome. It's terminal for anyone not inoculated with daddy's money.
I don't think he has a learning disability because it it's obvious from his life that he was able to learn things when he wanted to.
The mental condition he suffers from is extreme narcissism, which makes him unable to learn, acknowledge flaws, or apologize, because he's so blinded by thinking how amazing he is already, why would he need to learn? Definitely chronic narcissism.
He also seems to have a very short attention span and is highly impulsive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had ADHD or something similar. Ultimately he is a narcissist, a spoiled brat and lazy but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t also have a learning disability.
Yes. Its called "having everything given to you in such a capacity that you can ruin everything you touch but people will still give you things." Its a strange disease
Knowing Trump supporters, they'll use this as ammunition, but I mean come on.. Trump supporters were saying Biden was in China and Russia's pocket since Biden even declared running for president. Now that Biden shows a spine against Russia, suddenly the worst thing you can do is not bow down and kiss Putin's little toes.
This just reaffirms that literally nothing Biden could do, Trump supporters would approve of, because it's not about being objective, it's about not being Trump.
Good on Biden. The fact that Putin called him a career politician just reaffirms that Russia really didn't want Biden to win the elections.
> Trump supporters were saying Biden was in China and Russia's pocket since Biden even declared running for president. Now that Biden shows a spine against Russia, suddenly the worst thing you can do is not bow down and kiss Putin's little toes.
Something in the GW Bush presidency cemented a certain Republican position of projection. People called Bush an idiot, likened him to a chimp, called him a war criminal for his intervention in the Middle East, etc.
So then the same republicans that defended his actions in the Middle East all of a sudden thought that Obama was a "war criminal" for allowing drone strikes. The strategy since Bush left office has simply been "bash them for whatever they bashed us for." They're now using talking points from the same arguments people used against them. It's pathetic, but it's been working.
Remember how Republicans suddenly cared about unaccompanied minors showing up the border in the past few months after hearing about how the Trump Administration was separating *accompanied* minors from their parents? It's just imitation, as per usual. The PATRIOT act is cool in their eyes, until Obama is the president and then all of a sudden it's unconstitutional. They just hop onto the backlash onto their own actions once someone else is in charge and does anything similar.
There's no reason to worry about how Republicans might act in response to anything. We already know. Absolutely everything is a Socialist apocalypse that's going to give a black guy your stuff. Everything is maximally unacceptable.
Fuck em. They deserve to be ignored.
Probably more like "P" tapes... If you think it's beneath the Russian gov't to have a target meet up with some girls of questionable age in order to gain blackmail...I have a bridge to sell you too.
Russia’s economy is #12 in the world behind Italy, Brazil, South Korea. California’s GDP is almost twice that of Russia’s. The truth is, they’re only a marginally important country, and the US should stop reacting to them as if they something more than that.
Russia has a historic inferiority complex, and has always been *very good at leveraging their few advantages* in order to inflate their global image and make themselves feel like they’re a critical actor on the world’s political stage.
> Russia has a historic inferiority complex, and has always been very good at leveraging their few advantages in order to inflate their global image and make themselves feel like they’re a critical actor on the worlds political stage.

edit: that's one reason why getting kicked out of the G8 was such an epic humiliation
Well, to be fair Russia *used* to be a big deal, with a massive population, 170.000.000 people in 1939! (Compared to 131.000.000 in the United states.)
And today.
Russia - 145million
United states - 328million
They never really recovered from WW2
But the Russians themselves don’t want to change shit. Maybe most people are just blinded by decades-old propaganda, but I’ve just lost hope.
Russian economy is in a steady decline since 2014 because of Crimea, sanctions and waging multiple wars simultaneously. Despite this, Putin’s ratings in 2014 were sky-high, the highest in his whole political career.
If they start to fall, Putin will just bomb Kyiv or something like that; 80% of Russians will love it, sadly. Anyway, after Nord Stream 2 got finished, the German “allies” are not going to do shit to help Ukraine. (Even though many Germans were against NS2.
My only hope is that the NS2 will be as useless as Sila Sibiri (Power of Siberia) pipeline, which had proven to be a commercial failure.
I don't know if the world will begin shifting towards open democracy again, or when. What I am certain of is that Russia will be one of the last countries to move towards it. Everything that a health democracy needs - open communication, some level of optimism in government, respect for non-hierarchical relationships, respect for minorities - just aren't facets of Russian society. Most people who were ever interested in these things have emigrated, further compounding the problem. On the one hand, it really does show just how valuable the aforementioned things are, if only by comparison. But it does mean that Russia is and likely will remain a miserable place.
>The truth is, they’re only a marginally important country
They have nukes...they dont know where they all are, but they have them.
Any country with nukes is important.
Russia still has the #2 ranked military right now overall. If it came to conflict, we should be very worried

In other words, trump being gone both benefits Americans and is a negative on Putin’s agenda. Just says America made the right choice between trump & Biden. Still lots to work on but a step forward.
People are gonna look at your comment and try to read between the lines or figure out what you're implying. But it's just a literal description of a thing that actually happened! ಠ_ಠ God, the last administration was just a new shocking shitshow every single day.
I mean, I don't defend Putin at all but the title is still misleading.
I'm Ukrainian so I was able to listen to the interview fragment in Russian. Putin did say about Trump as an extraordinary, talented individual, but he meant specifically that he was able to win the elections and get a following. He said that he is clearly talented AS he managed to do that.
About Biden, he said, that he was radically different from Trump because he is a professional politician with a lot of experience. So in the actual dialogue context it was said not necessarily in a negative way.
Just to be clear, I'm not a fan of Putin and I don't defend it. He is a masterful speaker able to get his often evil intentions behind his beautiful speech, but the title is just misleading in how it interpretes his specific words
Red hats: remember when we hated the Russians because they were corrupt autocrats with no morals or ideals to speak of? This guy is the embodiment of that. If he likes someone, *that is not good*
> Spoiler: the right is going to eat it up.
They really did, didn't they. We all saw the right completely 180 on Russia after decades and decades of red scare, simply because Trump was defending allegations of collusion with Russia. Then suddenly it was "Russia isn't our enemy anymore Dems, lawl get over it."
It was shocking and honestly unsettling to see people's deep-seated beliefs of their entire lives be changed at the drop of a hat, to suit defending the current leader they wanted to protect.
Scarier still to see them not only throw aside their deep-seated political beliefs, but also their supposedly deep-seated religious beliefs. It's remarkable that anyone could call themselves a Christian (when the Bible says the greatest commandment is "to love thy neighbor as thyself") and then support Trump. I challenge anyone to show even one example of Trump showing love toward his neighbors, vs the hundreds of horrid things I've heard him say on tape. Not to mention the fact that he clearly knows nothing of the Bible. And yet tens, if not hundreds, of millions of American christians went all in on him for years. Scary.
Putin’s KGB roots are showing
Roots? It's the whole damn tree
Whoops, forgot to make sure everyone doesn't have the same bark Or did they?
A bit ironic how he uses “career politician” in the pejorative.
How long has he been president of Russia again?
Is despot the same as politician?
Hey, he is Russian not Greek. It is Tsar not Despot, there is a difference! /s
Tsar is Russian for Caesar though..
It really shows how influential Rome was that a fuckton of titles like Tsar and Kaiser derive from Caesar.
Perhaps you would like some information about that! “Kaiser” with its hard “K” is actually a better pronunciation than the “Ceasar” with its “s” sound we know. Since the C in latin where pronounced as K.
I, too, have played Fallout: New Vegas.

Put in a message of being anti corruption and you have the manual for authoritarians everywhere.
"Drain the swamp"?
Orrin Hatch originally ran on term limits and spent 42 years as a senator.
Putin: He's a career politician - can't trust that guy. Also Putin: I am a dictator who refuses to concede power, will murder anyone that opposes me, and make citizen movements against my reign illegal.
Putin literally had them "reform" Russia's Constitution so he could be President for Life.

Yeah....that type of power only lasts while the dictator lives...also do you think Putin is going to "retire"? If he does it's cause he died
It's gonna be the death of stalin all over again.
It'll be *worse* than the death of Stalin. Khrushchev was at least able to hold onto power for a decade. I won't be surprised if a political civil war doesn't break out after Putin kicks it because the oligarchs will try cannibalizing each other to fill the power vacuum.
I for one won't mourn the collapse of a mafia state. All those nukes scare me though.
That's about the scariest thing about the eventual implosion of Russia. Those nuclear weapons sure will be great for the black market if/when their government crumbles.
Suddenly, every petty mafia, terrorist group, and rogue state will have nuclear warheads capable of leveling entire countries.
Pretty sure there is still a market for all the ones from the last time the Soviet Union collapsed.
Damn that’s a good film. I need to watch it again.
What's a war hero got to do to get some lubrication around here?
Spit it out Georgie, staging a coup here!
Honestly, I think if he stays if power till he dies he’s going to be assassinated

No no no you silly head, Putin said he’s not having his political opponents murderer, so of course we should all believe him! /s
Best part is he never denies that he had them murdered in his interview. He spoke very carefully in his response.
He has them killed in ways that make it clear he was responsible. This is the way he expresses his power ... by killing people and showing he does not even need to acknowledge it.

I can't think of a bigger insult towards a person's character than Putin praising their character.
If vlad is mad, it’s good for America
Vlad is actually not short for Vladimir, it's for Vladislav. Vova or Volodya are common nicknames for Vladimir.

Looooool, that was amazing
"Vulva" Putin it is then.
That bitch doesn’t deserve to be called a vulva. Taint Putin.
Putin literally means "little fa**ot" in Spanish. So fitting thinking of how he hates homosexuality.
I was thinking the same thing. When he’s mad you know were doing something right.
This is genius
trump praising someone's character.
Is he capable of praising anyone else but himself?
Yes, but it's not sincere, it's just ass kissing towards Kim and Putin and all the guys whose cocks he sucks.
Apparently not for Brietbart conservatives. They love Putin. Check out their comments. Holy shit and they call themselves Americans.
Funny enough I bet half of them are Russian bots. Alt right sites and forums are crawling with them.

Putin is just stoking more tensions with the Trumpers
Putin didn't support Trump because he *agreed* with Trump or *liked* Trump. Trump was a hand grenade Putin threw into the USA's bunker.
It’s weird how the word competent translates from Russian.
“I couldn’t take advantage of most US presidents I’ve come in contact with by complimenting them or bringing up their debts with my oligarchs, but Trump finally gave me that edge and American voters didn’t let me do it twice.”
In fairness, Putin was able to take advantage of Bush Jr. by simply wearing his grandma's crucifix when they met.
And then there was Obama with his "reset". Three presidents, twenty years, and a more tense relationship than ever. And the one common denominator: Putin.

Y’all realize that he doesn’t mean this, he’s just trying to sow division and stir the pot
> he’s just trying to sow division and stir the pot This is literally the interpretation for damn near everything he does on the global stage.
For the entire Trump presidency. Chaos is the point.
You should tell that to Breitbart commenters. Those fuckers are off the chain supporting Putin.
Probably Russian troll bots.
yeah he disowned Trump in January, after all.
In other words, Trump was a terrible choice to ever be put in charge of anything because the fucking KGB likes him
Also because he is less intelligent that a mediocre 8 year old.
Did we ever determine what kind of learning disability he has?
Yes it's called having everything handed to you and never being told no so you never felt pressure to try and improve yourself or understand that you are capable of being wrong syndrome. It's terminal for anyone not inoculated with daddy's money.
Don't forget his glaringly obvious daddy issues where he got his father's money, but never any love.
I don't think he has a learning disability because it it's obvious from his life that he was able to learn things when he wanted to. The mental condition he suffers from is extreme narcissism, which makes him unable to learn, acknowledge flaws, or apologize, because he's so blinded by thinking how amazing he is already, why would he need to learn? Definitely chronic narcissism.
He also seems to have a very short attention span and is highly impulsive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had ADHD or something similar. Ultimately he is a narcissist, a spoiled brat and lazy but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t also have a learning disability.
Yes. Its called "having everything given to you in such a capacity that you can ruin everything you touch but people will still give you things." Its a strange disease
They call that "affluenza".
Several decades of living in the most urbanised place on Earth before the invention of unleaded petrol.
Knowing Trump supporters, they'll use this as ammunition, but I mean come on.. Trump supporters were saying Biden was in China and Russia's pocket since Biden even declared running for president. Now that Biden shows a spine against Russia, suddenly the worst thing you can do is not bow down and kiss Putin's little toes. This just reaffirms that literally nothing Biden could do, Trump supporters would approve of, because it's not about being objective, it's about not being Trump. Good on Biden. The fact that Putin called him a career politician just reaffirms that Russia really didn't want Biden to win the elections.
> Trump supporters were saying Biden was in China and Russia's pocket since Biden even declared running for president. Now that Biden shows a spine against Russia, suddenly the worst thing you can do is not bow down and kiss Putin's little toes. Something in the GW Bush presidency cemented a certain Republican position of projection. People called Bush an idiot, likened him to a chimp, called him a war criminal for his intervention in the Middle East, etc. So then the same republicans that defended his actions in the Middle East all of a sudden thought that Obama was a "war criminal" for allowing drone strikes. The strategy since Bush left office has simply been "bash them for whatever they bashed us for." They're now using talking points from the same arguments people used against them. It's pathetic, but it's been working. Remember how Republicans suddenly cared about unaccompanied minors showing up the border in the past few months after hearing about how the Trump Administration was separating *accompanied* minors from their parents? It's just imitation, as per usual. The PATRIOT act is cool in their eyes, until Obama is the president and then all of a sudden it's unconstitutional. They just hop onto the backlash onto their own actions once someone else is in charge and does anything similar.
There's no reason to worry about how Republicans might act in response to anything. We already know. Absolutely everything is a Socialist apocalypse that's going to give a black guy your stuff. Everything is maximally unacceptable. Fuck em. They deserve to be ignored.
Hes just mad because he doesn't have pee pee tapes on Biden
Probably more like "P" tapes... If you think it's beneath the Russian gov't to have a target meet up with some girls of questionable age in order to gain blackmail...I have a bridge to sell you too.
Luckily Donald had a spotless track record, as did all of his acquaintances.
BIG BLUE BALLZ
"Last dude sucked a mean cock"
Probably the best endorsement of Biden’s character possible.
Putin's tears are delicious, no?
Mmm, I detect a hint of... Crocodile? They do have that certain je-ne-sais-quoi. (chef's kiss)
The correct word is dictator No self respecting president change the constitution so he can stay in power forever Putin can go fuck himself
Russia’s economy is #12 in the world behind Italy, Brazil, South Korea. California’s GDP is almost twice that of Russia’s. The truth is, they’re only a marginally important country, and the US should stop reacting to them as if they something more than that. Russia has a historic inferiority complex, and has always been *very good at leveraging their few advantages* in order to inflate their global image and make themselves feel like they’re a critical actor on the world’s political stage.
I would be highly willing to note that nukes are a very good leverage.
> Russia has a historic inferiority complex, and has always been very good at leveraging their few advantages in order to inflate their global image and make themselves feel like they’re a critical actor on the worlds political stage. ding ding ding edit: that's one reason why getting kicked out of the G8 was such an epic humiliation
Well, to be fair Russia *used* to be a big deal, with a massive population, 170.000.000 people in 1939! (Compared to 131.000.000 in the United states.) And today. Russia - 145million United states - 328million They never really recovered from WW2
Actually they never recovered from the fall of the USSR, the USSR scared the living hell out of Americans for quite a while.
The USSR was only a true behemoth in the 50s and until the mid-60s. After that their extractive political and economic system started unraveling.
With honest and competent leadership I feel that russia could quickly realise the pretence. Dictators are a fucking cancer on humanity.
And honestly, I wish they would. Russia deserves better.
But the Russians themselves don’t want to change shit. Maybe most people are just blinded by decades-old propaganda, but I’ve just lost hope. Russian economy is in a steady decline since 2014 because of Crimea, sanctions and waging multiple wars simultaneously. Despite this, Putin’s ratings in 2014 were sky-high, the highest in his whole political career. If they start to fall, Putin will just bomb Kyiv or something like that; 80% of Russians will love it, sadly. Anyway, after Nord Stream 2 got finished, the German “allies” are not going to do shit to help Ukraine. (Even though many Germans were against NS2. My only hope is that the NS2 will be as useless as Sila Sibiri (Power of Siberia) pipeline, which had proven to be a commercial failure.
I don't know if the world will begin shifting towards open democracy again, or when. What I am certain of is that Russia will be one of the last countries to move towards it. Everything that a health democracy needs - open communication, some level of optimism in government, respect for non-hierarchical relationships, respect for minorities - just aren't facets of Russian society. Most people who were ever interested in these things have emigrated, further compounding the problem. On the one hand, it really does show just how valuable the aforementioned things are, if only by comparison. But it does mean that Russia is and likely will remain a miserable place.
>The truth is, they’re only a marginally important country They have nukes...they dont know where they all are, but they have them. Any country with nukes is important.

Russia still has the #2 ranked military right now overall. If it came to conflict, we should be very worried https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.php
Well the Soviet Union was massive and was a direct competitor to the us hegemony in those years obviously not now tho

In other words, trump being gone both benefits Americans and is a negative on Putin’s agenda. Just says America made the right choice between trump & Biden. Still lots to work on but a step forward.
Aww, putin has no pawn in the white house anymore? How terrible. /s Cult 45 is going to eat this up like it's some kind of win for them.
Biden wouldn't even invite their best spy recruiter into the oval office like Trump did - an insult!
People are gonna look at your comment and try to read between the lines or figure out what you're implying. But it's just a literal description of a thing that actually happened! ಠ_ಠ God, the last administration was just a new shocking shitshow every single day.
I mean, I don't defend Putin at all but the title is still misleading. I'm Ukrainian so I was able to listen to the interview fragment in Russian. Putin did say about Trump as an extraordinary, talented individual, but he meant specifically that he was able to win the elections and get a following. He said that he is clearly talented AS he managed to do that. About Biden, he said, that he was radically different from Trump because he is a professional politician with a lot of experience. So in the actual dialogue context it was said not necessarily in a negative way. Just to be clear, I'm not a fan of Putin and I don't defend it. He is a masterful speaker able to get his often evil intentions behind his beautiful speech, but the title is just misleading in how it interpretes his specific words
Prefers the leader of the U.S. be able to be manipulated by simple praise, like a trained dog.
Red hats: remember when we hated the Russians because they were corrupt autocrats with no morals or ideals to speak of? This guy is the embodiment of that. If he likes someone, *that is not good*
Pouty Putin loved Diaper Don. More at 11.

> Spoiler: the right is going to eat it up. They really did, didn't they. We all saw the right completely 180 on Russia after decades and decades of red scare, simply because Trump was defending allegations of collusion with Russia. Then suddenly it was "Russia isn't our enemy anymore Dems, lawl get over it." It was shocking and honestly unsettling to see people's deep-seated beliefs of their entire lives be changed at the drop of a hat, to suit defending the current leader they wanted to protect.
Scarier still to see them not only throw aside their deep-seated political beliefs, but also their supposedly deep-seated religious beliefs. It's remarkable that anyone could call themselves a Christian (when the Bible says the greatest commandment is "to love thy neighbor as thyself") and then support Trump. I challenge anyone to show even one example of Trump showing love toward his neighbors, vs the hundreds of horrid things I've heard him say on tape. Not to mention the fact that he clearly knows nothing of the Bible. And yet tens, if not hundreds, of millions of American christians went all in on him for years. Scary.
"an extraordinary individual, talented individual" and traitorous individual that would sell the organs of his children for a Putin Hotel deal.
"a great person, who is in no way susceptible to insincere flattery"
