Admiration of Putin isn't exactly confined to one side of the aisle, either. American affection for autocrats is complex...
-
Sure. Seems multiple motives at work. Saudis=influence plus perception of US interest. Putin may be autocracy, may be "respect"
-
And by "respect" I don't mean affection, but recognition of Putin's shrewdness.
-
This is part of what I was getting at; there's a certain set that's absolutely convinced that Putin dominates world politics.
-
I'd put it differently. I think DEMS overestimate degree that he does. I think others recognize he plays well w/small deck.
-
Yeah, I don't think I'd agree with that.

MbN is praised all the time. The guy in charge of Saudi oppression.
