Trump said it would be better to try to get along with Russia and negotiate with them on matter. Biden and the dems instead spent the last five years saying Russia is a bunch of evil, murdering ghouls that cause everything bad that happens to them as a party and the US as a country when its under dem control while refusing to talk to them.

I wonder which approach was the one that was on top when this went down? Oh, the democrat demonization and war mongering policy. Maybe ... just maybe ... demonizing Russia at every turn while showing obvious weakness has something to do with why Russia keeps annexing new land but only when Trump isn't in power.

You have to be cognizant of your opponents moves.

Exactly right. And that's something I always try to tell posters (usually new to FR) who complain when articles from Leftist sources are posted. If you don't know what your enemy is thinking and saying, how are you going to respond to it?

Biden praised Putin ( https://neonnettle.com/news/15599-biden-praises-putin-on-world-stage-trashes-trump-and-republicans-watch ), and the neocon Chihuahua Lowry said nothing.

And it’s safer to walk down Putin’s streets that Biden’s.

But I don’t think Putin is a ‘genius’. I think he’s a pig and a thug...

It is possible for someone to be both. Genius does not imply goodness. Also, genius in the context President Trump used the term re Putin does not mean high IQ. It means very clever, as in Putin seized the moment in the face of totally craven weakness throughout all the Western nations. Biden, in particular, is about as weak and useless as a national leader can be.

President Trump was not praising Putin. He was commenting on the nature of our enemy.

Clearly, if Trump was president, Putin would never try what he is doing right now. As Trump said, “I know him well.”

We don’t know how this war will be fought and how it will end. If the 40 million Ukrainians dig in and fight an insurgent war or take to bombing targets in Russia Putin could look like a BIG Dummy. I don’t think that the Russians want their cities destroyed. Anti war protests spreading across Russia may cause internal collapse of Putin. But hey, I am not a genius either and can’t predict how it will end.

Is it any different than Patton calling Rommel a “Magnificent Bastard”?

Good observation.

Unlike Patton, Lowry probably looked at the covers but never "read his books" such as the one with the great Trump line "Never let your enemy define you."

Rich Lowry-— no surprise from a f’n Never Trumper who has destroyed the excellent formerly Conservative William F. Buckley edited National Review. Resembles it in NO way at all.
So, no surprise.

Just as it is no surprise to hear that a@@ Romney blaming TRUMP for Putin’s actions.. stabbing Trump in the back KNOWING there never was any “COLLUSION” with Russia, and stoking the money Romney has been getting from Burisma (owned by Russian Oligarch) where his former Campaign Manager Cofer Black (he of the SEE EYE EHHH apparat) still sits on the BOD of the Ukrainian energy company (littered with other Leftist US supporters, like the Atlantic Fund head, and our good ole idiota of Russia Hoax at the DOD— Evelyn Farkas. Allegedly a Ukrainian descent who does NOT, along with Victoria Nuland, support an independent Ukraine.

This idiot Lowry limp wrist has nothing to do with Intelligence and the Active measures which are needed right now— in the Ukraine (and which are most likely happening with Mossad imbeds— mounting an effective defense). Putin described a “Jewish run Nazi Ukraine”— absolutely INSANE notion when one reviews what happened at Yalta with FDR and Churchill Okaying turning over White Russians in Ukraine (who fought with German Nazis against the Soviets). Gave them up to Stalin—including the Leader of the Don Cossacks- to be murdered. And US Army units escorted them to the Soviets and watched them immediately shot or strung up.

So— to Putin- the Holodomor survivors who remember what sacred Stalin did to them— THEY— are Nazis? Putin is an insane gibbering olde Communist and an Oligarch at the same time. His days- prayerfully are numbered.

On the cusp of Vladimir Putin’s act of naked aggression
against the sovereign country of Ukraine, the most important
Republican in the country praised the Russian autocrat for his
“genius.”

One day he's the worst thing our "Democracy" has ever had to
survive.

The next he's the most important Republican in the nation. Oh
and by the way, he's praising Putin as a genius, so the
Republican party is guilty of associating with him.

LOL. Last I heard the Democrats wanted to install Socialism/Communism here.

Isn't that like praising Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Kim il Song,
Pol Pot, and Hugo Chavez for being brilliant?

Why yes, I do believe it is.

Yes.

We didn’t have all the problems we’ve had over the past year, when Trump was in charge.

Putin didn’t leave the southern border wide open then run to save the border of a foreign country.
