House Foreign Affairs chairman: Putin believes he can ‘dis’ the United States

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes he can “dis” the United States without repercussions, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said in an interview with CNN. 

Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) told Wolf Blitzer late Friday that Putin “intends to stick his thumb in the eye of the United States every time he can.”

“I think there was an opportunity with the past leadership in Russia,” Royce said. “But right now, clearly, Putin intends to ... stick his thumb in the eye of the United States every time he can. And so it's a difficult situation. He's trying to undermine us in Syria. He's not helpful in Iran. And, as a consequence, I think we're in a tough position right now.”

Royce placed some of the blame for the state of U.S.-Russia relations on President Obama.

“Right now, I think that ... the head of state in Russia today believes that he can dis the U.S. without any negative consequences,” Royce said. “And that probably comes from the fact that we don't carry the same perception of strength that we did and the gravitas of the president of the United States is not that of former presidents. And I do think that's a problem for President Obama.”

Once again, you state the way I feel. I think if Putin ever met me, he’d respect me more than Obastard, before I even said one word.

Obastard thinks he can treat Putin as a recalcitrant slumlord in Chicago’s south side. The trash talk (like about Putin’s posture) is embarrassing.

I have much more respect for Putin than I have for Obama. I hate Obama.

“We’re in a tough position right now”

Well, yeah... our position is “tough” because it’s weak. Majorities in this country chose weakness in 2008 and 2012.

We are open for nuclear attack at all times

The communists realized they couldn't take over America from the outside so they switched to doing an inside job. Their jig is up though if a nuke goes off. The most likely targets are communist voter zones: NYC, LA, Chicago, Washington DC. Starting the day after, the remaining Democrat voter base will move away from high population density areas and disperse into rural areas. They will quickly discover the big government/helpless citizen model no longer applies.

America has a terrible communist cancer growing in her cities. If it comes to it, some radiation therapy might actually save her.

Putin loves his country.

[SevenofNine]

The Russians really love Americans they just don’t like Obama WH big time

They found our current President very rude I agree with them

Probably Michaelle Obama probably get on Vlady nerves behind the scenes

I think she type of first lady who yell at Vlady if Obama spent too much with the Russians

You know that type of wife who don’t want her husband have any fun LOL!

If Hillary and Barry had a son? LOL He’s better looking than either one of them.

Putin isn’t “dissing” the US - we “dissed” ourselves when we somehow elected that worthless communist idiot that now occupies the White House.

We’re following the path that led to the USSR, and Putin can see that.

It’s awefully ironic - the same country that caused us to practice “bombing” drills in second grade now has a leader whom I respect more than our own President. Who would have thought that could happen?

[Pollster1]

Almost what I was going to post (except that I will not give the former junior US Senator from IL that title). Putin respects America; it’s Obama that he finds unworthy of respect.

[tips up]

Putin doesn’t believe it. He knows it.

[stboz]

Vladimir Vladimirovitch can diss our president all he jolly well pleases (and his wookie, too.)

[freedomfiter2]

How can Putin dis a country that no longer exists?

[octex]

Putin doesn’t ‘believe’ he can dis the US; he ‘knows’ he can! ....Same holds true for every other country and the UN, as they ALL know they can dis the US as long as the Obama regime is in office. The absolutely worst and weakest foreign policy Prez and Scty.(s) of State since Obama took office in 2009!

[GeronL]

dissing Obama is not dissing America

[Navy Patriot]

House Foreign Affairs chairman: Putin believes proves he can ‘dis’ the United States government and leftist Democrats.

There, fixed it for ya RINO Ed.

[bmwcyle]

I wish we did not have such idiots in Congress.

Putin does get some things right, like pronging Bozo in his squinty eyes and recognizing the evil homosexuals present to society.

Aha! I think you’ve hit on the real reason Obama cancelled a private meeting with Putin! It most likely wasn’t because of Snowden.

Didn’t Zero mention something at his presser about how he couldn’t tolerate a country that would not recognize the rights of the LGBTQ people?

Strong man that killed people as part of his job,
vs. queer man that buggered others as part of his job!
Obviously, the strong man wins.

[octex]

That’s not Royce’s picture.

It’s gay Obama, and Putin probably has pics and video.
