Republican US presidential front-runner Donald Trump is apparently "honored" that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the real-estate magnate a "flamboyant" and "very talented" man.
"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said in a statement, according to Politico.
He continued: "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."

The election hasn’t started yet folks. Lots going to happen before the first vote in November—Debates coming. Trump vs. Hillary how will that work? Or will it be Cruz vs. Hillary? What about new attacks by ISIS? what about natural disasters, earthquakes, Probelms in Europe, War. Lots can and will happen.
Russia has lower income taxes than US. Explain how that’ ‘neo communist’’
I say neo, because it is not quite the communism of Breshnev or Andropov. But Putin was KGB and gives every evidence of trying to slowly rebuild the internal totalitarian state and externally the international hegemon.
That often happens here at Free Republic when liberals get along with each other.
Excellent start. Trump said he thought he could talk to Putin, Putin just confirmed it. :)
I wouldn’t be surprised. But that would be kudos from a self-anointed moslem sheikh.
Funny. My late brother Steve was on the Forrestal during that...
Great Post and Thank You for it!!!

You didn’t answer my question. Russia has lower income taxes than we do. How do you call that “totalitarian”? You’re just spouting empty rhetoric
You mean like imprisoning journalists, having opponents of the regime killed, rewriting the constitution to retain power? Fake terrorist attacks to justify action against groups considered to be outside, infiltrate the church with government agents? Invade other countries on flimsy pretexts? I think all that stuff is pretty totalitarian.
Most of what you’re spouting are allegations by his enemies, which you buy with no personal knowledge or evidence. As for invasions, Russia has troops in fewer countries than we do. We’ve invaded more countries than Russia over the past 15 years.
Our media is very anti Russia because Russia is anti- gay crap, including outlawing gay adoptions. Our media is anti Christiantoo, so they’re going to hate a country that calls itself officially Christian. And there are s lot of drones like you who believe whatever our media tells them
And by the way, you still didn’t answer how somebody can call a govt with low taxes ‘totalitarian’. That’s simply stupidity
Most of this comes from a variety of reputable media. It is you who believe the propaganda of the Russian state. You are a pro-totalitarian troll, unworthy of attention. I shall start ignoring you now.
You’ve been ignoring my question all along, so nothing new. Glad at least you admit that you swallow whatever mainstream ‘reputable media’ feeds you.
All those “innocents” that those “tyrants” were slaughtering... in hind site now look like Muslim extremists and the heinous acts.. those tyrants are accused of committing against their own people ... now seem in retrospect to have been simply the actions needed to be taken by anyone to fight the satanic scourge which is Islam.
If you look at maps of Russia, it contains about 30% land mass that is Islamic. Much of Russian architecture comes from Islamic influence. Russia knows the dangers of islam.
It seems to me in hind site that the Russians were the only ones who saw Islam for the threat is was and have been the only ones (along with supposed tyrants across the middle east) willing to do what was necessary to keep them in check.
Putin hoping in the sack with Death to America Islamic theocracy Iran is a funny way of showing you understand the “threat of Islam”. Putin is just fine with a Russia friendly Shia caliphate in the ME. Buy a clue, FRiend.
Do you doubt for a moment that if Russia were “allowed” to take over the mid east and take the oil they wouldn’t have by now?
They dont give to figs about the Iran or anyone else, they care about oil.
You’re welcome. Just trying to get through to some of the thick skulls here who worship the Russians. Hard to believe this crap is going on at FR.
