“I don’t think Obama’s bad policies make Putin’s bad ones good. Do you?”

No, I don’t, you assumed wrong.

Do I think Putin is a bad Guy with some of his policies. yes.
Do I think O was a bad guy with some HIS policies. yes

Has Putin ordered people killed, probably.
Has O ordered people killed, probably.

It seems BOTH of this guys used “the ends justifies the means”

I think this is what President Trump was alluding to.

Now for Putin... He is a very strong leader for his Country, people, and traditions.

The O one’s policies disrupted the foundations of our Country.

So which one would you say was the better leader?

Lot's of leaders stand up for their country. I'm not going to say good things about their ultra nationalism when they're trying to restore and empire, destroy NATO, intimidate neutral nations, arm adversaries of the USA, work against Israel in the UN, and repress political opposition at home. If doing these things makes them a strong national leader, then I don't want them. I have conservative values. I believe in freedom, the rule of law, separation of powers, civil rights, property rights.

I'm not an advocate of autocracy, oligarchy, and national chauvinism. If we wanted America undermined and Putin empowered, we could have elected Hillary and let her continue Obama's failed policies vis a vie Putin.
