Remember how upset Ryan McConnell were with Obama's foreign policies ? Look what they have now

Putin has gained a lot with trump = worth Russia's hard work here



......................
Vladimir Putin wants to be seen as the peer of U.S. leaders and remains businesslike during top-level meetings, U.S. President Barack Obama said in an interview published in the April issue of U.S. magazine The Atlantic.

Despite the Kremlin's official rhetoric, Obama said Putin “understands that Russia’s overall position in the world is significantly diminished. And the fact that he invades Crimea or is trying to prop up [Syrian President Bashar] Assad doesn’t suddenly make him a player. You don’t see [Putin] in any of these meetings out here helping to shape the agenda. For that matter, there’s not a G20 meeting where the Russians set the agenda around any of the issues that are important,” Obama was quoted as saying by The Atlantic.

“He’s constantly interested in being seen as our peer and as working with us, because he’s not completely stupid,” Obama said.
