I’d be careful fawning too much over Putin. If you’re looking for comparisons, he’s more Mussolini than Clinton, IMO. Violent, egotistical womanizer behind closed doors - if you believe most of the reports on why he’s divorced now.
Which one?
Clinton,
Mussolini
or Putin?
Also, to agree with a statement someone has made is a very, very long way from "fawning". I'm just trying to figure out Putin's motives in saying this.
