Putin apologists, no doubt, will be along to help everyone understand why Putin's interest trump America's. In time, when Putin's interests come before Trump's interests, we'll see whether the Putinistas stick with Putin or they put America first.
“And you seem to gloss over Putin’s affinity with the mad mullahs in Iran. Why do you do that? And what about Putin’s recent advocacy of the Taliban?”
Putin’s just playing geopolitics. By playing the Iran card he offsets the U.S.-Saudi alliance (a very sick alliance by the way). Iran’s leadership is nasty but they don’t slaughter their Christian minorities - unlike our Jihadi rebels. Putin’s advocacy of the Taliban? The same Taliban that the the U.S. has been bribing with pallet loads of new 100 dollar bills? Perhaps Putin wants to a piece of the Afghani Opium monopoly the U.S. controls Who really knows?
