Putin likely wouldn’t need to. He’s seen as a MAN who can lead. Obama....well....not at all. The difference is similar to being roared at by a lion, or screeched at by a field mouse. If Putin threatens Iran or Afghanistan they are more likely to want to come to some sort of agreement than mess with Putin. Obama....they’ll pee themselves laughing at his “demands”.
