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. ..."

Donald Trump (2014): ‘Vladimir Putin Has Eaten Obama’s Lunch’:

You don’t know anything about me at all you paranoid freak show. I could care less about Russians. They are insignificant. You are the one who pisses yourself every time some one pours a vodka.
Like the old Cold War days when the CIA got hot Intel from the pages of the daily Pravda.
Rewrote it, stamped it Top Secret and fed it to presidents.
Ahh ETL, again you please me, grasshopper!

Also from the Oct 5, 2016 first VP debate...
QUIJANO (Moderator): I want to turn now to Syria. Two hundred fifty thousand people, 100,000 of them children, are under siege in Aleppo, Syria. Bunker buster bombs, cluster munitions, and incendiary weapons are being dropped on them by Russian and Syrian militaries. Does the U.S. have a responsibility to protect civilians and prevent mass casualties on this scale, Governor Pence?
PENCE: The United States of America needs to begin to exercise strong leadership to protect the vulnerable citizens and over 100,000 children in Aleppo. Hillary Clinton’s top priority when she became secretary of state was the Russian reset, the Russians reset. After the Russian reset, the Russians invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea.
And the small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States to the point where all the United States of America — the greatest nation on Earth — just withdraws from talks about a cease-fire while Vladimir Putin puts a missile defense system in Syria while he marshals the forces and begins — look, we have got to begin to lean into this with strong, broad-shouldered American leadership.
It begins by rebuilding our military. And the Russians and the Chinese have been making enormous investments in the military. We have the smallest Navy since 1916. We have the lowest number of troops since the end of the Second World War. We’ve got to work with Congress, and Donald Trump will, to rebuild our military and project American strength in the world.
But about Aleppo and about Syria, I truly do believe that what America ought to do right now is immediately establish safe zones, so that families and vulnerable families with children can move out of those areas, work with our Arab partners, real time, right now, to make that happen.
And secondly, I just have to tell you that the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength. And if Russia chooses to be involved and continue, I should say, to be involved in this barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike military targets of the Assad regime to prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking place in Aleppo.
There’s a broad range of other things that we ought to do, as well. We ought to deploy a missile defense shield to the Czech Republic and Poland which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pulled back on out of not wanting to offend the Russians back in 2009.
QUIJANO: Governor, your two minutes are up.
PENCE: We’ve just got to have American strength on the world stage. When Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, the Russians and other countries in the world will know they’re dealing with a strong American president.

And...
PENCE: What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.
And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
And all the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.
To answer your question, we just need American strength. We need to — we need to marshal the resources of our allies in the region, and in the immediate, we need to act and act now to get people out of harm’s way.
And it’s a big nothing and zero.
RT’s more favorable coverage of Trump didn’t flip the election to Trump with their tiny US audience in comparison to the complete and total super Hillary coverage and hate Trump propaganda well over a year’s worth.
The didn’t compete with the NY Slimes, cBS, CNN, LSDNBC, Compost-WaPo, ABC, NBC, and every other Lib Spew-news outlet. RT is not, was not, even in the same galaxy for the amount of propaganda and “news” spewed by these clowns.
The fake news outlets sure do hate the real news outlets.

From Real Clear Politics, Sept 10, 2015...
"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.
In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.
The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

The Times can’t reconcile the fact that team Hillary was a security nightmare. If your doctor, healthcare provider, credit card company, bank, stock broker, pharmacy, or cable company exposed your private data on an unsecured server every lawyer in town would be screaming bloody murder.
Not just RT, the Slime endgame is to ban (block on the internet) all "Fake News" websites as determined by the Enemedia complex.
Like the one you are posting on.
Nor the fact that the Obama-Hillary admin were actually in bed with the Russians! See my earlier posts.
No need to be humble, ETL, George IS pleased with you, ... as am I.
Yea, I know. I just think someone should ask these idiots what they expect to do? Letting them spout their nonsense without calling them out for a solution is one of the problems. No one on our side ever seems to put the ball back in their court.
Who is allowed to broadcast in America? Make them reveal their idiotic positions.
Lol! My views on KGB Putin are no different than those of Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, Ted Cruz, and possibly, even Trump’s. Why else would he have selected strong Putin critics as Pence and Sessions to fill such top positions in his administration, particularly at a time when US-Russia relations is so prominent an issue. I think grand master Putin may have finally met his match.
Beats me.
