This is what I'm talking about. Sure, Putin made Obama and crew look petty. That is not in doubt. But Putin is disgusted with the USA, not a single individual. Putin is not looking forward to better relations after January 20.
Look, Putin is a hell of a strategic player. America's policy position in favor of freedom is not something Putin admires. Putin is putting Russia's (and really his own) interests above all else. Democrat or Republican doesn't matter much to Putin. Putin only wants to diminish America's stature in the world. Understand that.
If Putin “ only wants to diminish America’s stature in the world” then please describe in equal detail what obama and McCain and the uniparty want for Russia?
( crickets)
Ironically every effort by this administration.and the Uniparty to tweak Putin and diminish Russia have only backfired - much like the MSM campaign to destroy Trump only backfired
Putin did not need to outmaneuver these naive incomptents in the U.S. government. Only to ignore them , exercise great restraint against their provocations, and press on with taking care of his allies and his country’s national interests
I think what we may see in Syria over the next months could be a watershed in the system of alliances and policies in the Middle East, and fortunately we have one man coming into office who sees this as an opportunity not a threat
