Like Speaker John Boehner, Sen. Ted Cruz thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “KGB thug,” who President Barack Obama has underestimated far too much.
Cruz said Obama has taken too seriously to heart Putin’s assertion that encouraging American exceptionalism is dangerous.
“Putin has a point,” Cruz said Thursday at the National Security Action Summit hosted by the Breitbart News Network, at National Harbor, Md., across the street from the Conservative Political Action Conference. American exceptionalism has been dangerous — to tyrants and dictators.
Obama, Cruz said, has been “hiding behind diplomatic babble,” encouraging such tyrants when he “obscures the truth” and hides from aggression. Putin, at least, is “candid.”
He pointed to Obama’s statement Wednesday that “President Putin seems to have a different set of lawyers making a different set of interpretations,” calling it “so absurd the writers of ‘Saturday Night Live’ could not have come up with it.”
“No one thinks that Putin is consulting with lawyers,” Cruz said, provoking laughter.

Cruz went on to discuss Venezuela, saying the protests mirror the situation in Ukraine. He also raised the nuclear threat of Iran, calling the nuclear deal reached last fall “a tragic, historic mistake.” Iran cannot be trusted, he said, not to drop a nuclear bomb on Tel Aviv.
“Any responsible” president, Cruz said, would under no circumstances allow Iran nuclear weapon capability.
“Weakness and appeasement only invites military conflict,” Cruz reiterated, and the Obama administration doesn’t understand that.

Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
‘Reading’ Putin as a thug is the ‘See Spot Run’ of global politics.
How ANYONE could mistake Vlad’s intentions is incredible....
Just looking at the traditional Russian pre occupation with E. Europe would be ENOUGH to tell you that Vlad would NEVER be indifferent about it!
I think not. Coach Lombardi, Knute Rockne et al, did not refer to the coaches of teams that whipped'em as "thugs." This guy just ain't on our team and is doing a far better job on the field than our leader.
You want "thugs?" Look in Cuba, Venezuela, Dennis Conyers' office. Crimea? That's over. Part of the Rodina ... Mother Russia. Let the coalition that stole Kosovo from Serbia bitch and moan all they want. Game over.
America looks at Putin as an evil opponent, while continuing to export America’s industrial backbone to a communist nation with five times our population...
Just saying.
Thug! I think Cruz should rise above this kind of rhetoric.
saying the things that need to be said.
However truth scares the voting majority
Unbelievable.
Really.
God forbid we should call a gun grabbing, anti freech speech, pro Chevez, pro Ahmadinejad Putin a "thug".
My goodness. What was Ted Cruz thinking.
You can call Putin anything you want. Personally I am tired of the President of the US looking ‘average’ or in the cast of Obama, like he doesn’t know what it means to be the leader of the free world. I want our next president to be capable of something other than adolescent type behavior. Name calling isn’t high on my list admirable qualities.Oh, but what was I thinking!!
Yeah "adolescent" Ronald Reagan incapable of doing anything other than calling the Soviet Union the Evil Empire. What was he thinking, right?
I am sure you can come up with other examples where name calling of countries and name calling of individuals has been done. I don’t care. Name calling, especially of foreign leaders, is not something I approve of.
History shows that Adolph Hitler was, in fact, a poopyhead.
I apologize.
So Putin is president of Russia, that means he can’t be a thug like the president of Cuba or Venezuela? LMAO Sure he can, just like them. He is proving it now in the Ukraine.
Cruz is correct; Putin is a KGB thug.
Here's Tom Fife's article. “It was like an elastic band snapping all the way from 1992,” Fife shakily admitted, upon recall of the exact moment he realized the Communist official had been telling the truth. “It was a very, very scary feeling.”
Fife, a physicist and computer engineer, had been traveling to Russia for a joint venture with a state-owned company when the shocking revelation was revealed to him. After several business meetings, Fife and his partner were invited to the company owner’s home at the end of the journey for a farewell dinner.
The owner’s wife was a Communist Party official and was “climbing two ladders”, as Fife puts it, one ladder being the KGB and the other being the traditional Russian society and business ladder. As the evening wore on, the female Communist official became increasingly agitated over a perceived slight and her emotions spilled over.
“You Americans like to think you’re so perfect!” she snarled. “Well, what if I told you that very, very soon you’re going to have a black president… and he’s going to be a Communist!”
The KGB operative was not finished. As she had now dropped this bombshell on the entire gathering, she felt compelled to continue.
“His name is Barack,” she sneered. “His mother is white and his father is an African black. He has gone to the best schools, he is what you would call ‘Ivy League’.”
Fife recalls being stunned and shocked at the words flowing from the Communist’s mouth as she continued to rattle off an incredibly precise set of details about this Communist operative who was to supposedly become president of the United States.
The Communist official then stated that he was from Hawaii, but would very soon be elected to the Chicago state legislature. This has turned out to be an eerily prescient prediction, as Barack Obama was not elected State Senator until 1996, a full 4 years afterwards, as he took Alice Palmer’s seat.
In 1992, Obama had recently graduated from Harvard Law School and accepted a position as a Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School.
Perhaps the most shocking revelation is how deep the Soviet Communist network has embedded itself into American political and educational culture. A quick review of Obama’s political “career” shows a track that wasinexplicably greased, from his tuition payments at Columbia and Harvard, to a position at UOC Law School, to his eventual electoral “victories” at the Illinois State Senate, United States Senate, and U.S. Presidency.
Barack Obama’s parents ostensibly met in a Russian language class. This could have been where his mother was recruited by Barack Obama Sr, who could have already been working undercover for the KGB.
In order to brainwash the child from an early age, they surrounded him with diehard Communists and fellow KGB agents, such as Frank Marshall Davis, a known Communist Party USA official. The Soviet KGB directly funded the CPUSA. This would fit directly into what the Russian Communist said about ‘Barack’, boasting “He has been raised to be an atheist and a communist.”
“He will be a blessing for world communism,” Fife recalled her saying, after getting over the initial shock of hearing the current president was a KGB agent.
The creepy prediction stayed with the physicist upon his return to the United States, although he paid it no mind until he began to hear of an swiftly rising political star named Barack Obama. When Fife learned that this same Barack was running in the 2008 presidential election, everything snapped into place and he knew he had to tell someone.
Today, Fife admits that it deeply disturbs him and that he has never been able to shake the ominous feeling of foreboding about what comes next, now that the KGB official’s prediction has come true.
“It never leaves you, having someone tell you that they’ve engineered the takeover of your country,” he admits. “It’s really quite scary.”
The DemocratsNational Socialists, and FASCIST Obama are DOING IT ON PURPOSE!!!!
A lot of things are true. My comment was regarding Putin.
