One of Putin’s positives is that he is a Russian nationalist. Compare this to the anti America Obama and even George Bush with his open borders and immigration amnesty attempts
Positive for whom? Being a nationalist is not necessarily a positive. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, etc. were also nationalists. It depends on how this nationalism manifests itself that determines whether it is positive or not.
In Putin's case, I don't see it as a positive. Ask the people of Georgia and Ukraine about his nationalism. Check with the Baltic nations to see how they view Putin and his desire to protect "ethnic Russians."
I’m not sure if you understand the whole idea of nationalism or not. Nationalists from different nations do not get along with each other. There is not some kind of nationalist international that promotes nationalism around the world. Commies are the ones who believe in international principles which transcend national boundaries. Nationalists don’t. What a foreign nationalist believes in has nothing to do with American patriotism. We who love America and the principles that America was founded upon see nothing positive at all about Putin promoting his form of anti-American imperialist neo-Soviet nationalism which grinds freedom under it’s jackbooted heel.
