Putin couldn't hope to have a better friend in the White House than Obama. Obama has bent over backwards helping Russia reemerge as a major superpower, with his treasonous missile defense and nuke deals with Moscow. That plus substantially weakening the US military.
Thanks for all of your posts on this thread.
Let me just repeat what I said in post 1:
“Well I’m not coming down for or against Mr. Putin, just posting that apparently Donald and him, seem to get along well so far.”
The two of them seem to have started on the right foot. You may or may not think Putin is a good leader, in fact I am myself a bit ambivalent - though I am ambivalent about our own president as well. This seems to be a relationship which has not been effectively handled by Obama, and it seems that Trump may have started out right, thus far anyway.
We shall see.
