December 17, 2015, 05:38 pm Trump calls 'highly respected' Putin's comments a 'great honor'

By Bradford Richardson

“It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond,” the GOP presidential front-runner told supporters at a rally in Columbus, Ohio.

“I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect,” he added.

The Cruzer’s are going to say that our enemy is endorsing Trump. But the truth is that Putin is not our enemy, obumber and the one worlders are.

I have to add, the current Congress and Senate are our enemies also.

He’s pretty much saying what Margaret Thatcher said about Gorbachev.

The right president might make some real improvements in relations with Russia. This is probably a goodwill gesture from Vladimir, just in case.

From one ego to another......

And Obambi's little ego is left out in the cold.

You don't negotiate with someone you have contempt for, you play them.

Apparently Putin has some respect for Trump.

Ol Vlad is a master deception and at playing people. Trump best tread carefully otherwise may get a lesson in getting played like a cheap fiddle.

I would start with the UN security council’s five permanent members and reduce it to three. the U.S, Russian Federation and China. Then what the heck, lets just divvy up the world between the three of us.

He's going to publicly negotiate a grand bargain with Russia, when our current Resident can't even get a return call.

He used all of Russia's code words...the things they say they want in a relationship with the US.

And on another point, Russia is not threatening to kill us. Russia and America have a common enemy....radical Islamic terrorists. And Russia has 2nd or 3rd most powerful military in the world. It is better to get along on common goals. Trump & Putin are giving out signals they can get along.

Obama is a Muslim sympathizer. I can’t blame Obama. Both his dads were devout Muslims. Obama is not going to fight radical Islam.

Cool. Cool.

I got nothing against Russia, and I got nothing against Russians.

In fact, lately I’ve been enjoying watching Russian compete in MMA.

So, that’s where I’m at.

“The Cruzer’s are going to say that our enemy is endorsing Trump. But the truth is that Putin is not our enemy, obumber and the one worlders are.”

We would be way ahead of the game today with Putin running things here. At least he seems to love his country.

Putin has armed and/or supported just about every nation hostile to us during his time in power, including Iran, Iraq, North Korea, ChiComs, Venezuela...

How many World Leaders don’t have an Ego?

Do you have a List you can share?

Funny how Putin is giving some Respect to a guy running for POTUS while he kicks sand in the face of the guy that currently is POTUS, isn’t it? I really don’t think Putin is being facetious.

I wonder if Tiffany’s is working on the new and improved Trump Reset Button that his SOS will give to Russia?

Heck, I’m a Cruz guy and here I am defending Trump again.
These Threads are just too much fun.

Putin shouldn't be highly respected.
