    Question: Trump has probably condemned more people in his first 2 years than any single president in US history has. From calling Maxine "low IQ", To calling Meryl Streep "over-rated", to condemning everybody and everything, etc. But never condemns PUTIN. I can't find him ever doing that, ever. But Russia has been the traditional #1 enemy of the US for my entire lifetime. Why is that, do you think?

    Me, I'd say the risk that Russian spies have dirt on him is simply too great for him to continue as president. His EGO won't let him do the right thing. But what do YOU think?

    Could it be that Putin and Russia in general is America's greatest ally? Both Trump and Putin are tough on crime /Крым.

    Putin is the only world leader i can think of that doesn’t publicly criticize Trump. Oh, netanyahu also doesn’t attack trump so we can add him to the list.

    Trump is a counterpuncher, doesn’t matter if you are an ally or enemy.

    Another reason is that russia is a super power who other politicians want to wage war against, or use rhetoric that inches us closer to war. It is unwise to spark hostilities which can escalate to the point where WW3 may be around corner.

    Russia also doesn’t present much of a threat to US, even economically, unlike china who utilizes many dirty tactics to take advantage of US economically.

    No mystery here.

    Could it be that Putin has so much over trump's head that trump kisses Putin's butt when ever he can. Could that be where the term "Putin's puppet" came from??

    So you are saying that what explains this is that Trump and Putin have very similar political stands on many issues, such as, say, Reagan and Thatcher did, or Obama and Fidel Castro did?

    More than likely it's because Putin put a down payment on the penthouse of Trump Tower Moscow. Go with that.
