Putin Just Came Out With A Massive Announcement About Donald Trump

Vladimir Putin, as Western Journalism has reported, apparently has very little respect for President Obama, and doesn’t seem to consider his interests in Europe or the Middle East.

When Russian troops amassed along the Ukrainian border, Putin didn’t stop at the border in response to Obama’s advice to withdraw troops. In fact, Putin sent troops inside Ukraine and took control of Crimea.

Additionally, in Syria, just when President Obama was proclaiming that ISIS was contained and would be pursued inside Syria, Putin sent troops into Syria and reinforced the Asad regime, the very regime that Obama intended to overcome.

At every turn, Putin has met Obama with resistance and defiance. Sensing a potential win for Republicans in 2016, Putin has just revealed exactly how he feels about Donald Trump and it’s quite a contrast from his defiance of the current president.

According to The Hill, Putin spoke to reporters about Trump at a press conference in Moscow, “He’s a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt. … It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.”

Later Putin spoke about potentially working with Trump and said, “He says he wants to move on to a new, more substantial relationship, a deeper relationship with Russia, how can we not welcome that? … Of course we welcome that.”

First Obama's treasonous generals say they will self-deport themselves from the Pentagon, and now Trump is already starting his relationship with Russia on a good foot!

[for-q-clinton]

I’m not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing though.

[DaveyB]

A toxic endorsement.

[freebird5850]

Barry is not being flexible enough.

[SatinDoll]

It is a neutral thing.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Putin respects strength.

Obama is weak and that’s why Putin has contempt for him.

[SamAdams76]

I'm no fan of Putin but his statements can only help Trump. Most voters remember the Cold War and don't want to go back to it. Ronald Reagan managed to be tough with Russia but at the same time, he greatly improved relations. I think Trump can accomplish the same thing and undo all the damage that Obama has done.

We've got enough on our plate without getting into a confrontation with Russia.

[apocalypto]

I would call it a semi-endorsement. He said D. Trump is very talented, which is a fact. He would take Trump seriously. Somehow I cannot imagine Putin discussing anything with Ms. Hillary. She is a joke.

[trisham]

Agreed. I don’t trust Putin at all, but I don’t think that his endorsement will do any harm to Trump.

[Mr. K]

It would be nice to go back to the times when Reagan was President and the USA and Russia became Frenemies.

The world knew that between the two of us we controlled the planet, and there was none of this baloney going on world-wide.

Stupid Carter came alone and set all this in motion. Yassir Arafat should have been dead 24 hours after the first plane bombing.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

[Carthego delenda est]

Here’s the last paragraph from the source article at Western Journalism:

“The White House has said that Trump is disqualified from being the President of the United States. This is once again evidence of another opinion that Putin and the White House apparently do not share.”

Massive? I’d call it Yyyuuugggge!

[FourPeas]

Exactly.

[ETL]

Putin respects strength. Obama is weak and that’s why Putin has contempt for him.

The last thing KGB Putin (genuinely) wants is a strong American leader. He's out to basically restore the Soviet Union and then-some, if he grabs control of the resource-rich Middle East.

"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...

"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'..."

"The more I see and read about Mr. Putin, in power since 1999, and his 'managed democracy,' the more apprehensive I become about the future of Russia and the safety of its neighbors.

If Putin believes that the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent states represents the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,' then it follows that Putin might well believe he should do something to repair the loss..."

"Putin said Stalin deserves statues in his honor"

[ETL]

"For 16 years Putin was an officer in the KGB, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before he retired to enter politics in his native Saint Petersburg in 1991.

He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration where he rose quickly, becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999 when Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned. Putin won the subsequent 2000 presidential election, despite widespread accusations of vote-rigging,[3] and was reelected in 2004."

"On 25 July 1998, Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin head of the FSB (one of the successor agencies to the KGB), the position Putin occupied until August 1999. He became a permanent member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on 1 October 1998 and its Secretary on 29 March 1999."

From a 2007 article titled "Putin's Russia"...

"KGB influence 'soars under Putin,' " blared the headline of a BBC online article for December 13, 2006. The following day, a similar headline echoed a similarly alarming story at the website of Der Spiegel, one of Germany's largest news magazines: "Putin's Russia: Kremlin Riddled with Former KGB Agents."

In the opening sentences of Der Spiegel's article, readers are informed that: "Four out of five members of Russia's political and business elite have a KGB past, according to a new study by the prestigious [Russian] Academy of Sciences. The influence of ex-Soviet spies has ballooned under President Vladimir Putin."

The study, which looked at 1,061 top Kremlin, regional, and corporate jobs, found that "78 percent of the Russian elite" are what are known in Russia as "siloviki," which is to say, former members of the KGB or its domestic successor, the FSB. The author of the study, Olga Kryshtanovskaya, expressed shock at her own findings. "I was very shocked when I looked at the boards of major companies and realized there were lots of people who had completely unknown names, people who were not public but who were definitely, obvious siloviki," she told Reuters.

Other supposed experts - in Russia and the West - have also expressed surprise and alarm at the apparent resurrection of the dreaded Soviet secret police. After all, for the past decade and a half these same experts have been pointing to the alleged demise of the KGB as the primary evidence supporting their claim that communism is dead.

From the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Russian security apparatus Cheka (and its later permutations: OGPU, NKVD, MGB, KGB) had been the "sword and shield" of the communist world revolution.

"We stand for organized terror," declared Felix Dzerzhinsky, the first chief of the Cheka for Soviet dictator Vladimir Lenin. In 1918, Dzerzhinsky launched the campaign of arrests and executions known as the Red Terror. Krasnaya Gazeta, the Bolshevik newspaper, expressed the Chekist credo when it reported approvingly in 1918 of the terror campaign: "We will make our hearts cruel, hard and immovable, so that no mercy will enter them, and so that they will not quiver at the sight of a sea of enemy blood."

Unflinching cruelty and merciless, bloody terror have been the trademark of the communist secret police, from the Cheka to the KGB. Obviously, the demise of such an organization would be cause for much rejoicing. Hence, when the KGB was ordered dissolved and its chairman, General Vladimir Kryuchkov, was arrested in 1991 after attempting to overthrow "liberal reformer" Mikhail Gorbachev in the failed "August Coup," many people in the West were only too willing to pop the champagne corks and start celebrating our supposed victory over the Evil Empire.

But, as Mikhail Leontiyev, commentator for Russia's state-controlled Channel One television, recently noted, repeating a phrase popular among the siloviki: "Americans got so drunk at the USSR's funeral that they're still hung over." And stumbling around in their post-inebriation haze, many of these Americans have only recently begun noticing that they had prematurely written the KGB's epitaph, even as it was arising vampire-like from the coffin.

However, there is really no excuse for Olga Kryshtanovskaya or any of her American counterparts to be stunned by the current siloviki dominance in Putin's Russia. For nearly a decade, even before he became Russia's "president," THE NEW AMERICAN has been reporting on Putin's KGB pedigree and his steady implementation of a long-range Soviet deception strategy, including the public rehabilitation and refortifying of the KGB-FSB. ..."

Wow, from the man that says with a sly grin,
“Obama Schmoe!”
to openly recognize a man that he might be willing to make a deal with, is a big endorsement.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Dude!

I picked up that GIF while listening to ACE: How Long Has This Been Goin’ On?”

Rhythm was spot on.
