Let me see if I've got this right, because this is getting more and more absurd. Trump and followers like you are favoring a dictator with vast experience in the KGB, someone who has ordered hits on his opponents including at least one journalist, over the sitting President of your own country. If that is not an absurd situation for a so-called patriotic conservative Christian American, I am not sure I could come up with a more ridiculous scenario in my wildest imagination.
While not sure FGB is a Putin lover, it is quite appalling to see the Trump supporters fawning over Putin.
Russia has a history of brutal leaders leaving behind large body counts. I'm learning that Putin is no different save for his cunning methods. From 3 questionable apartment bombings that he used to justify the invasion of Chechnya, to untold mysterious deaths of people outspoken against his regime, his brutality is masked behind his desire to keep Russia "stable" and strong.
That Putin has used Trump is not surprising, for Putin's long game is superb, having learned it from his early Soviet KGB days finding and cultivating spies in Eastern Europe.
That Trump admires Putin is frightening. You can see shades of Putin in Trump's rise. Putin's success is partially due to his fist tight control of the Russian media, seemingly a Trump desire as well. Putin's wealth comes from his early involvement in the privatization of state industries. One wonders how Trump's cabinet of uber-wealthy businessman is going to play out?
This type of bromance may not end well. For whom remains to be seen.
