Russia only has a strong leader, but has been facing a lot of international backlash for no decent reason. | ||

A nuanced argument would be that their trade surplus has been a disaster for the rest of Europe, but he didn't say that and I guarantee he can't explain that to his followers. Russia is being decimated by the price of oil right now. Putin is strong in public support but the conditions within the country are dire. To call Putin strong at the moment is the same as calling Kim Jong Un strong. No, I think he's getting at "Americans are ignorant fucks when it comes to foreign policy. | ||

He is the only one who gives clear answers in the debate. And I'm not afraid to be the minority. :D | ||

It's interesting how Putin is the wealthiest person in the world with a modest salary of $115,000 a year. | ||

You can't win the command economy game against China. American companies will suffer far more from that. Most American companies' production is located in China. | ||

Ok they go after violence at Trump events now. Surprisingly, this is a surprising move for CNN. Trump's counter; these violent Trump supporters have to much love. | ||

That's a bit of a white lie isn't it? http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/266716-climate-change-where-the-gop-field-stands Not saying they are going to solve it, or make it a priority, I'm not even willing to say that they're ideas are valid--but to say they don't believe that the climate is changing is a bit, disingenuous. | ||

I dunno, Putin is interesting... I think that he does give Russian people a big sense of pride, and that's important, I think its what unites people and gets people to work together. Their GDP per capita has been doing well in recent years making it back to the USSR days. I think he's an interesting leader, and though I'm overall against him, I think people are too quick to discard him as an awful leader. | ||
