Weakness invites aggression. Its a dangerous situation when your adversaries see you lacking in fortitude.
From Putin’s perspective, he see’s a big green light to do whatever he wants and he’s probably correct. For him, its game on. I think its fair to say that if Reagan was president, Puting would be far more accomodating and less aggressive than he currently is.
I think you're right. If I were Putin all I'd see from bammy is weakness, ineptitude, and indecision. I believe Putin no-longer worries about the US or what bammy may or may not do. I think Putin is now making moves to impress and/or strike fear into other countries. We are a non-factor to him. For now. What's the countdown to 1/20/17 at ???
