You suggest Trump is some kind of traitor because he was flattered that Putin praised him as a strong leader.

Not so much that, but rather HIS praising of that KGB/FSB thug, Vladimir Putin, Putinista McGruff's hero.

"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond"
--Donald Trump, referring to Putin

It was almost as bad as his gushing over the communist North Korean dictator.

Donald Trump praises Kim Jong-un for how he 'wipes out' political opponents

Adam Withnall | The Independent | Jan 10, 2016

The US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has praised North Korea's despotic leader Kim Jong-un, saying the way he executes his political opponents shows "he's the boss".

-snip-

After coming to power when he was 28, Kim cemented his rule through a series of purges, including the execution of his uncle Jang Song Thaek.

"You've got to give him credit," Trump said. "How many young guys - he was like 26 or 25 when his father died - take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden - you know, it's pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?

"Even though it is a culture, and it's a cultural thing, he goes in, he takes over, he's the boss. It's incredible.

"He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. This guy doesn't play games and we can't play games with him. Because he really does have missiles and he really does have nukes."

Trump was speaking after it emerged North Korea has carried out new nuclear weapons tests, which the hermit kingdom claimed involved its first hydrogen bomb. ..."

Putin and Kim agreed during their talks to promote a Russian- DPRK political dialogue on the Korean issue and international affairs, and discussed many topical international problems, deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Prikhodko told reporters following the talks.

The two leaders spoke for an independent and peaceful solution to the issue of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and against "any outside obstacles to this process" as "unacceptable."

How Russia arms America's southern neighbors

Ioan Grillo
May 9, 2014

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

BY: Bill Gertz
February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

What’s your point this has nothing to do with Trump. Your trying to tie Trump to Putin is just plain stupid.

[ETL]

I should have known I'd have to explain it to you.

The point is that Trump believes that Putin is a great guy. Someone the US should trust and work with. Meanwhile, the phony SOB is in the process of basically restoring the Soviet Union, and then-some with the addition of the powerfully strategic, resource-rich Middle East.

Fine, if Russia were to change their ways. But they aren't, and almost certainly never will under the leadership of thugs like Putin. Russia, under Putin, continues to this day (2015-16) arming hostile leftist regimes throughout Latin America. Plus they and the ChiComs have a closer than ever military alliance, carrying out joint war games for a decade now, in obvious preparation for war with US and our NATO allies.

Are you at least beginning to get the point now? I hope to hell so. My fingers are getting sore from all of this g-damn typing.

The irony is the MoveOn was created in response to the Clinton-Lewinski scandal... they wanted to “move on” because it was “just about sex.”

[JoSixChip]

The point is that Trump believes that Putin is a great guy

Your full of crap, Trump said he respected Pitin. Only in your small mind does that equate to "a great guy". In other words you have to make crap up because you can not dispute Trump has already had more positive impact on America just during this campaign then Cruz has in his lifetime as a government employee. Just give it up, Trump will help us make America Great again. Cruz would only be more of the same.

Russia is invading their former satellite states in Eastern Europe. They were in bed with Syria and Iran, long before ISIS came on the scene. They've supported nearly all of our enemies, even during times of war. ie, Saddam Hussein. They were assisting him even after the war broke out.

Indeed, ISIS might already have their hands on the WMDs that our 'friends' (according to the FR Putinistas) in Russia snuck out of Iraq and into Syria just prior to the war.

"Romanian intelligence defector Ion Mihai Pacepa alleged that an operation for the removal of chemical weapons was prepared by the Soviet Union for Libya, and that he was told over thirty years ago by Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, KGB chairman Yury Andropov, and later, Yevgeny Primakov, about the existence of a similar plan for Iraq.

It is 'perfectly obvious', wrote Pacepa, that the Russian GRU agency helped Saddam Hussein to destroy, hide, or transfer his chemical weapons prior to the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. 'After all, Russia helped Saddam get his hands on them in the first place.'[13]

John Loftus, director of The Intelligence Summit, said in the November 16, 2007 issue of FrontPage Magazine that many documents from Iraq point to WMD being transferred to other countries such as Syria: 'As stated in more detail in my full report, the British, Ukrainian and American secret services all believed that the Russians had organized a last minute evacuation of CW [chemical] and BW [biological] stockpiles from Baghdad to Syria.'

His researchers allegedly found a document ordering the concealment of nuclear weapons equipment in storage facilities under the Euphrates River a few weeks before the invasion.[14]"

Do you believe Trump was accurate in his gushing opinion of Putin?

"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond"
--Donald Trump, referring to Putin

[trisham]

I think that there is more than one way to interpret that quote.

[ETL]

I agree. And none of them are good.

[trisham]

Not so. His comment might very well have been tongue in cheek.

[JoSixChip]

Do you believe Trump was accurate in his gushing opinion of Putin?

I believe you have cherry-picked Trumps statements and completely changed the context to fit your irrational image of Trump. You are just flat out wrong. Trump will be elected, he will give us all the opportunity to help make America great, and you will regret being an ass during the primaries. There were people just like you during the time Reagan was running. They too thought they were too good for Reagan and that their numbers were overwhelming. They were wrong, Reagan won in a land slide and was a great American President. Trump in not Reagan, but Trump will bring love of country and his winning expertise to work for America. There is no comparing that to electing another politician owned by GOPe donors.
