Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Friday praised the U.S. decision to back down on building a missile defense system in Eastern Europe.
And that automatically makes the decision a highly questionable one.
Putin's support for Obama's action -- which liberal groups are hailing -- ignores a salient point: Putin is a despotic leader, the kind that America should not want to get in bed with.
Check out Putin's challenging words Friday.
He was already telling Obama that the president will have to do even more to win over renewed cooperation from Russia on other matters, such as trying to make Iran back down from its nuclear weapons research projects.
"I very much hope that this correct and brave decision will be followed by others," Putin said.
Sorry, Putin said, he didn't have any of his own country's concessions to offer as a way to thank Obama for backing down on missile defense.
Score this a big victory for Putin and Russia.

Michael Savage thinks our Dear Leader traded missle defence for a green light from Russia on Israel attacking
Iran.
with a friend like this, who needs an enemy
When Puty says Obama made a brave decision....I absolutely know it was a wrong one....I like Puty more every day....LOL!
sarah palin will shoot his (Putin’s) head off with a moose gun
The more I think about it, why would Putin pay for something our Dear Leader gives away for free.
That’s what he said early in his show, telling us Obama was playing chess. Later he was following the conservative line of how stupid Obama is for doing this.
Savage is entertaining, but psychotic.
You have to love the left, only a few short months after telling us all Iran is a small nation who poses no real threat, they completely scrap our European missile defense network to counter the same Iranian threat.
Delusions of grandeur — are you planning to overthrow the president?
Putin played Obama like a fiddle. Obama is looking more and more like Carter.
I wonder if we will be able to correct this Marxist course before it is too late.
Nope, just expose him so he will ‘overthrow’ himself. Is that scary to you?
That means us, America is being played. I wish this country could secede from the District of Columbia and disown them.
Better yet, I want to see 0 frog marched out of the Oval Office in leg irons for defrauding the United States and other various crimes against the country.
I've thought from the beginning that Obama, like Clinton, is ripe for blackmail.
“Putin must have Zero’s Indonesian Passport records.
I’ve thought from the beginning that Obama, like Clinton, is ripe for blackmail.”
The same exact thing crossed my mind.
> Putin must have Zero’s Indonesian Passport records.
If not that, then some other equally damning document.
