You speak from a place of ignorance. Although since you have admitted to admiring the deception and dishonesty of your hero Trump, I can't tell if you actually believe what you write, or if you just relentlessly lie your ass off.
you are projecting you feeling s of Putin onto Trump -key word here is "deception"..are you seriously claiming Trump is "deceptive?" He's a blathering fool on Twitter.
He runs and gives interviews to the NYTimes - his mortal enemy and you call him"
deceptive?
You don't know any Russians. You have never been to Russia. You know nothing of the culture. You know precious little of the history. You have no scholarly knowledge of the East Slavs. The only rudimentary knowledge- which is generally incorrect - you have gleaned and repeated verbatim are from the NeoCon publications and alt-right blog you visit. I doubt you have actually even read anything by an authentic East Slavic scholar.
most Americans are ignorant of Russia and have not been there. But there is this thing called the internet that gives one as much knowledge of any situation/place that one cares to dig into.
Americans are blind Sheeple being pulled further and further into the abyss of Russiaphobia.
Look at this thread I posted.

Pulling the plug on the FSA ( CIA rebels) in Syria is according to WaPO:
"The Washington Post noted that its anonymous sources view Trump’s move as a “major concession” to Moscow"
a "major concession to Putin" ?
WaPo doesn't even report the FSA is the weak sister in Syria, and the CIA weapons/trained personnel we gave them wound up w/ Jabhat Fateh al-Sham - while General Idris long ago flew the coop to Turkey.
The fact I can understand the Syrian factions, the ebb and flow of the war, and look at WaPo's disengenuous Russia bashing in a clumsy attempt to go after Trump while never going to Syria attests to the fact one doesn't have to be there to understand it there.
I'm not upon Russian literature or the brooding souls of Russians/Slavs
I'm not interested in Russia/Slavic people other then someone we have to deal with and protect as part of NATO or deal with on a military level like Putin.
Dostoyevsky's exploration of "human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia" ( wiki) bores me to tears. You can deal with your Slavic roots.
I'm not digging into anything except realpolitik it's all that matters to me as an American
Your reasons for idolizing and worshipping Putin are all incorrect. They are the half baked imaginings lifted from the depths of the pro-Kremlin alt-right blogosphere, and Russian state media.
sure right..how often do you see me citing RT? Oh that's right -like never.
Oh and Neo-cons? It's not me that supports the warmonger Hillary Clinton like you do.
Putin has gotten Russia stuck in a quagmire in Syria. He has squandered whatever reputation Russia built up as an emerging democratic nation. Your pro-Kremlin fantasies about Putin pulling of a stunning geopolitical upset in Ukraine sounds like the fantasizing of a school boy. Russia is stuck in a quagmire in Donbass, and the Russian people have no interest in waging war on Ukraine. The Kiev government is more than safe from Putin's expanstionist fantasies.
The "little green men" was a brilliant play.
we all knew they were Russian..well their transports didn't have Russian license plates, and the personnel had no insignias..so maybe they weren't..and in the short time of that doubt was all it took to annex Crimea.
we never fired a shot at them.
That is a deception of war the Mossad would be proud of! - "By way of deception thou shalt do war"
( i assume you get the reference)..It was a brilliant strategy, and a brilliant tactic both.
Donbass is his federation of the Ukraine's east away from Kyiv.
Our meddling in their
Euromaiden created a hostile Uk. state towards Russia.
You can say what you want to about Putin.
we fucked around and drove out Yanukovych with our USAID money and put his lease/access in doubt to Sevastopol. we created that set up on the chessboard.
Talk abut neocons? Your Russian hating hero John McCain was all over Independence Square
along with Victoria Nuland's 'cupcakes' to assure the Euromaiden was the putstch to remove Yanukovych.
The US neocons created the situation we are in today.
Putin is a clever ex-KGB strong man, and authoritarian who through ineptitude and miscalculation is never going to achieve his stated goals of a unified, 21st union of all the Russian-speaking people of the former USSR.
more soothsaying analysis without backing. You might be right, you might be wrong.
Who cares? are you familiar with the golf term "the ball is played as it lies?"
That's all i've ever advocated - I don't pretend to try to know the future.
i do know where the US/Europe and Russia 'lie' (sic) now doesn't benefit any of us.
It is unfathomable to me how someone who knows nothing about Russia, and does not actually know any Russian people can be so pro-Kremlin. There is no legitimate reason for you to be pro-Kremlin and anti-American. I guess I never wanted to admit you actually wanted a foreign adversary to collude with your Orange Clown to win an election. But all signs point to you being a pathetic Kremlin stooge.
Typical Obama ( and neocon type) analysis that everything do do with US/Russian relations must be a win for one side,
and a loss for another. Monopolaristic madness.
Go back to my example of Syria..the cease fire benefits all of us as well as the Syrian people .
Who knows? maybe we can even extend the ceasefire zone?
I realize you cannot conceive of any thought other then "Putin is a KGB thug"and like the rest of the Russiaphobes/neocons ( they are one and the same) have to knee jerk your mind to that zero sum game -
but I'm not playing. I'm looking past the simplistic insanity of Cold War 2 to a better way for the world.
