Putin’s Poodle
This is embarrassing:

“If Vladimir Putin is the dominant alpha male in the new international pecking order, Barack Obama has emerged as his highly submissive partner. There are various reasons why we are being subjected to the humiliating spectacle of an American president, so-called leader of the free world, rolling over on the mat at Putins feet.”

Because he is a real leader and on Syria, he is correct. Assad was right also when he recently said that the reason there are refugees is because the West supported terrorism. Ironic, and true.
What response of his to any of Charlie Rose’s questions wasn’t well reasoned, logical, and thought out?
I encourage everyone to listen to that interview and you’ll understand why he is the world’s greatest leader and why the Russians take their positions.

Interesting that Putin is not targeting ISIS but other opponents of Assad and Republicans applaud.
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”-
Putin looks like he got a face lift …like really manly but Bibi sold us out imho with his meeting with Putin…assad was losing…The UN is half empty fo Bibi’s speech( they know what truth he speaks)

Putin you are in a quagmire…fighting on 2 fronts…sanctions which may be increased and isis which may stir up trouble inyour own country..so you may need the weapons you thought you were going to sell Iran

On the radio today someone said Putin has 2-3 years tops to be adventurous before the cofer runs dry. Syria is a turd sandwich. You’ve got Assad barrel bombing his population, ISIS, other militants, what a mess.

best option for Russia is to back out and take Assad and family with them for asylum

I’m not entirely sure what Putin’s trying to pull but they say he’s bombing on non-ISIS targets. Apparently now there’s calls for him to stop. I guess what concerns me is he really doesn’t care, which is evident from Crimea or the Ukraine. Plus they try to hide what they’re doing from Russian media (state owned).

Its pretty obvious Putin wants Soviet dominance of the Mid east and the obvious reason is Oil and control of world supply
He could care less who is in charge.
That being said how important is this too us
Fracking and alternative sources make oil somewhat less of a National interest to the US although it still is there
Im not sure Russia has the wherewithal to be the “MAN”
-
really how much oil is in Syria. I’m not sure, plus Russia has enough oil anyway. The country was largely reliant on energy exports, so I’m not sure how the oil helps him. Maybe he has a big bottle of ketchup to eat that turd sandwich Syria.
-
Syria stability or instability is vital to Mid East Regimes and wannabee regimes don’t you think
You really think Russia is doing this for humanitarian reasons
Putin wants to refight the Cold war to a degree……… but times have changed a little since then
Russia is making a mistake here
-
All this “Putin is the true leader” talk is anti-american and unpatriotic. If you don’t support the President, then vote your guy in. Don’t come here praising a KGB dictator over your own government and still claim to be a patriot.
-
well Russia I hope you know Syria had to break into the emergency grain storage…winter is approaching and good luck dividing resources between Ukraine and Syria which is a lost cause(every other country does not care about it).
Putin knows it’s an election year and he,the GOP and Bibi will do anything to make Obama look weak so sell out your country until the election…good luck with that strategy..the truth of Benghazi has been revealed by an imbecile in their own imploding party -
Pution should be on a VH1 we love the 80’s special
Again Russia is making a mistake…………..the world is different since the cold war -
agree not a very smart move given history(Hitler tried to fight a war on 2 fronts and Putin wants to fight one on 2 continents while his country has sanctions and it’s own issues with Islamic extremist for Assad..)
still at least Bibi has been outed for trying to pit 2 countries against each otherQuote from kpack123

oh Putin’s gets dumber…Turkey threatening to pull gas contract..more money problems

Hopefully this doesn’t turn into WW3 because Of Putin. Their war heads miss, unprofessional flight paths. If someone shoots down a Russian plane or missle I could see him escalating.

Yep.Fareed Zakaria: [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/vladimir-putins-interventionism-in-the-middle-east-is-not-to-be-admired/2015/10/15/7c939834-7373-11e5-8d93-0af317ed58c9_story.html]Stop swooning over Putin[/url]
Washingtons foreign policy elites have developed a mind-set that mistakes activity for achievement. They assume that every crisis in the world can and should be solved by a vigorous assertion of U.S. power, preferably military power. Failure to do so is passivity and produces weakness. By this logic, Russia and Iran are the new masters of the Middle East. Never mind that those countries are desperately trying to shore up a sinking ally. Their clients, the Alawites of Syria, are a minority regime representing less than 15 percent of the countrys people and face deadly insurgencies supported by vast portions of the population. Iran is bleeding resources in Syria. And if Russia and Iran win, somehow, against the odds, they get Syria which is a cauldron, not a prize. The United States has been in the drivers seat in Afghanistan for 14 years. Has that strengthened America?
<snip>
Imagine if todays interventionists had their way and President Obama escalated force and the Assad regime fell. What would be the outcome? Here are some clues. Washington deposed Saddam Husseins regime in Iraq (Syrias next-door neighbor, with many of the same tribes and sectarian divides). It did far more in Iraq than anyone is asking for in Syria, putting 170,000 soldiers on the ground at the peak and spending nearly $2 trillion. And yet, a humanitarian catastrophe has ensued with roughly 4 million civilians displaced and at least 150,000 killed. Washington deposed Moammar Gaddafis regime in Libya but chose to leave nation-building to the locals. The result has been what the New Yorker calls a battle-worn wasteland. In Yemen, the United States supported regime change and new elections. The result: a civil war that is tearing the country apart. Those who are so righteous and certain that this next intervention would save lives should at least pause and ponder the humanitarian consequences of the last three.
<snip>I {am} struck by how todays mood resembles that of the 1950s. We now think of that decade as the United States high-water mark, but at the time, the countrys foreign policy elites were despairing that Washington was passive and paralyzed in the face of Soviet activism. … In the midst of this clamor for action, one man, President Dwight Eisenhower, kept his cool, even though it sank his poll numbers. (The Kennedy/Johnson administration ended the passivity, notably in Cuba and Vietnam, with disastrous results.) I believe that decades from now, we will be glad that Barack Obama chose Eisenhowers path to global power and not Putins.

That’s the real sad thing about this. The little Russian thug is making our president look weak and incompetent. Putin has outmaneuvered Obama politically, militarily and by clever use of power politics and brute force. In the meantime, Obama obsesses about FOX news and global warming . The optics of this in front of the world stage are embarrasing.

If this happened to a US jet and Obama had yet to react, the GOP would be screaming, but apparently Putin is so strong he doesn’t need to do anything…

This administration doesn’t do anything to make me patriotic. I don’t care about that title anymore, anyway. My feeling is that most of what President Obama supports is at odds with what I believe America is about.
Putin was democratically elected, just like Assad and just like Obama. Putin is no KGB dictator.
Who claimed to be a patriot? Adeel, you are wrong on all accounts here. -
This reminds me of one of those nature shows where the dominant male leader of the herd gets challenged by a young testosterone laden wannabe male. Usually the young male gets his butt kicked and the dominant male re-asserts himself as the leader of the herd. Occasionally, the young buck or bull wins the battle and becomes the alpha male. He then controls all of the females in the herd and proceeds to take them all.
Obama and the liberal cabal have ceded the US’s traditional role as the alpha nation. Now we are relegated to to sitting helplessly on the sidelines as a paper tiger to watch Putin rape the world … all while we pontificate about global warming and gay rights. Some legacy!
-
so if you’re comparing Obama and Putin just on the gay rights you mention, you really think Putin has the better record on gays?
-
if you haven’t figured it out yet, I don’t give a crap about gay rights. I do care about Constitutional rights and the natural rights of ALL men and women.

Putin’s Poodle indeed:
[url=http://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/07/trump-crimea/493280/]Donald Trump looks to recognize Russian annexation of Crimea, drop Russian sanctions[/url]
{Trump’s} comments on Crimea, coupled with ones he made last week on NATO, are likely to have greater significance if he is elected president in November.
The question came from Mareike Aden, a German reporter, who asked him whether a President Trump would recognize Crimea as Russian and lift sanctions on Moscow imposed after its 2014 annexation of the Ukrainian territory. [link=https://twitter.com/MareikeAden/status/758325768900476928]The candidates reply[/link]: Yes. We would be looking at that.
That response is likely to spread much cheer through Russia[link=https://www.rt.com/politics/345207-top-russian-senator-says-trumps/]already buoyant[/link]about the prospect of a Trump victory in November. But it could spread at least an equal amount of dread in the former Soviet republics. In a matter of two weeks, the man who could become the next American president has [link=http://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/07/trump-nato/492341/]not only questioned the utility of NATO[/link], thereby repudiating the post-World War II security consensus, he also has seemingly removed whatever fig leaf of protection from Russia the U.S. offered the post-Soviet republics and Moscows former allies in the Eastern bloc.
-
I don’t necessarily think we’d look at that means he would recognize Crimea as Russia. For all I know he doesn’t understand what’s even going on in Crimea.
With the exception of freedom of navigation in South China Sea or these possible South Korea war games, I think most of our foreign policy could be described as pissing into the wind.
(If you have yet to see North Korea declared war on the US, which is the rage of Twitter jokes tonight).

We should all take a deep breath and just ignore Putin. It has worked as a brilliant stratagem for President Obama’s team in all the hot spots around the globe. President Obama justifiably has more rancor and plain anger for Mitch Mcconnell or Donald Trump than Putin. Just lets be honest here for a change–both McConnell and Trump are clear and president dangers to American fairness at home and around the globe than a million Putins could ever be. And think-that could have been American troops creating that big refugee migration. But instead its Russia, and they are being judged by history books very harshly, IMHO.
I say keep ignoring Russia and they will eventually subside. Just even let Russia put a second or dual global interface on all Hillary’s electronic devices so she can cleverly say to her Russian pals “Hey I know you are watching me, no need to hack me again today guys!” -
Ignore Putin at our own peril. Putin feels the loss of the USSR and influence as do many Russians. Our allies worry about Trump too.
Isolationism in a global community is not possible anymore.
And to actually call upon Putin to help a Republican win the POTUS election by sabotaging the Democrat’s campaign shows Trump is no American patriot & believes working against American democracy is something he considers good. What’s good for Trump is good for Trump, the country be damned.
Sheeples electing the Candidate of Me who will win the global politics with his twits.

Of course, if Shrillary hadn’t illegally stored government communications on an illegal server, then illegally deleted them, Trump wouldn’t have anything to talk about here, would he? And if you don’t think any of it was illegal, just ask Director Comey who very nicely explained to us just how illegal it all was.

Lets Face it Dalai
Putin Wants a president Trump because He believes it is in Russias best Interest to destroy the European Union and Trump Pretty much could care less.
THere are other variables invovlved but Putin wants to turn Back time To the COld war days. YOu do understand what that would mean dont you?

Newsweek headline: [url=http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-russia-hillary-clinton-united-states-europe-516895]WHY VLADIMIR PUTINS RUSSIA IS BACKING DONALD TRUMP[/url]
In phone calls, meetings and cables, Americas European allies have expressed alarm to one another about Donald Trumps public statements denying Moscows role in cyberattacks designed to interfere with the U.S. election. They fear the Republican nominee for president has emboldened the Kremlin in its unprecedented cybercampaign to disrupt elections in multiple countries in hopes of weakening Western alliances, according to intelligence, law enforcement and other government officials in the United States and Europe.
Trump has been surrounded by advisers and associates with economic and familial links to Russia. The publicized connections and contacts between former campaign manager Paul Manafort with Ukraine have raised concerns. Former Trump adviser Carter Page is being probed by American and European intelligence on allegations that he engaged in back-channel discussions with Russian government officials over the summer. Page did travel to Moscow, but he denies any inappropriate contact with Russian officials. The allies are also uneasy about retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, a Trump adviser who was reportedly considered a possible running mate for the GOP nominee. Last December, Flynn attended a dinner at the Metropol Hotel in honor of the 10th anniversary of RT, a Russian news agency that has been publicly identified by American intelligence as a primary outlet for Moscows disinformation campaigns. Flynn, who was two seats away from Russian President Vladimir Putin at the dinner, has frequently appeared on RT, despite public warnings by American intelligence that the news agency is used for Russian propaganda.
Trump and his campaign have also spread propaganda created as part of the Kremlin’s effort, relying on bogus information generated through traditional Russian disinformation techniques. In one instance, a manipulated document was put out onto the internet anonymously by propagandists working with Russia; within hours, Trump was reciting that false information at a campaign rally. The Trump campaign has also spread claims from Sputnik, another news outlet identified by American intelligence as part of the Russian disinformation campaign. For example, almost immediately after the posting of an article by Sputnik attacking this Newsweek reporter, the Trump campaign emailed a link to the piece to American reporters, urging them to pursue the same story.

Hollywood star Steven Seagal pushed Kremlin propaganda on a trip this week to the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, claiming that US-supplied HIMARS rockets caused the blast last month that killed more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war.
The Under Siege star, who was granted Russian citizenship in 2016 and supported Vladimir Putins annexation of Crimea, was seen in a video visiting Olenivka Prison the site of the July 29 strike that left 53 jailed POWs dead and at least 75 others injured.
This is where HIMARS hit, 50 people were killed, another 70 were injured, Seagal said in a video posted to the pro-Kremlin Russian news site TVZVEZDA on Tuesday,
