      There's nothing unusual about American and Russian leaders flattering one another, even when relations are strained, in pursuit of mutual diplomatic objectives. You can chant "THIS IS NOT NORMAL" all you want, but sorry -- it's normalpic.twitter.com/PrYEXYw0vQ

      I take your point, but Putin has engaged in a lot of problematic behavior since 2009.

      So did Obama, and yet the mutual flattering continued. 2009 was also less than one year after the Russo-Georgian War, which was described near-unanimously in US media as a war of Russian aggression

      Fair enough (and I do see your point), but I'd also argue that the context is a bit different now, because Obama wasn't praising Putin while simultaneously attacking the European Union. Context a bit different now.

      You can find many examples of Obama criticizing aspects of EU policy, albeit in less incendiary fashion as Trump. Which is why people don't remember them.http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/barack-obama-rebuffs-criticism-of-us-intelligence-practices-a-906659.html …

          I'd contrast Obama's specific, more technical critiques of the European Union -- intelligence, regulating tech companies, and NATO spending -- with Trump's bombastic rhetoric supporting Brexit and suggesting that he would prefer the European Union not exist in its current form.

          Not sure what you think this is an example of. It's Obama defending the US against EU criticism, which is not even the same as Trump attacking the EU, let alone Trump defending Russia against US criticism.
