I wouldn’t agree but he is making Obama look like an unqualified affirmative action president. I often wonder how a President Trump and Putin would get along.
Obama’s been endlessly strong-arming European leaders about Ukraine and Syria for a very long time. Always trying to find some leverage that will make him the hero of the hour.....which never comes.
Europe was functioning fine with Putin for quite awhile....until Obama stirred things up. Nato is another matter altogether.
I think Trump would do aok with Putin.....but Putin is a seasoned statesman and Trump would need to stand tall and professional to have Putins respect. I think Trump could pull that off.
Syria was a wash for Obama the moment he closed his eyes on his first red-line....the only red lines he's drawn since is a trail of red blood and complete chaos in all those nations he wanted regime changes in.....and he's been doing the same to this country.
