We’ll see how things play out. I think a lot of the admiration for him is based on who our leader is and how much we despise him. Put in a Ted Cruz (or Sarah) type and I suspect most of the glowing assessments would probably go away.

That doesn't even make sense. We have a crappy leader, so till we get a good one we're supposed to admire some other countries tyrannical, crappy leader?

I mean, what your saying is just......well, weird. It's like you desperately want to support someone that comes off as a tough guy or strong man till we get someone sufficiently tough of our own.

So if we elected Ted Cruz suddenly you'd stop admiring Putin? Are you really thinking about the stuff you are saying here. Putin is bad news no matter who we elect, in fact, the public's opposition to him is even MORE important right now when we don't have the kind of leader that can stand up to him by him/herself.

Sorry, you missed it. I was referring to the people that posted on that thread...not myself.

Not about us. It is about Putin. He wont respect any Democrat President. He will play a GOP-E President. He will respect a Reagan type President.

Why is it that every time since Carter that we have had a Democrat in the White House, we end up on verge of a World War with Russia (Clinton - Kosovo, Obama - Ukraine). It is because the Russians wont back down when they know their opponent will. Simple as that. What you want right now is suicidal. But I am sure we will soon hear about mass graves in Ukraine and see images of concentration-like camps.
