    But Trump and the Repubniks do cuddle up to Putin. That’s how the name „Moscow Mitch“ came to be. I cannot wrap my head around this: Putin was/is a literal soviet. How can you call yourself a conservative and not hate Putin? Reagan called the Soviet Union the evil empire. It should be regarded as un-american to, for example, question support for Ukraine. As for the „strong leader“ part: If so many of you really want that, you could just have kept King George III. Instead, the gem of the ocean made tyranny tremble everywhere. As a European I feel like we are experiencing a successful infiltration operation where American society is being turned against everything its country once stood for. Good luck with that. God bless you.

    • I’ve never heard that nickname. In any case, I’m not saying I like Vladimir Putin. I’m not saying I liked Trump. I like the idea of a strong leader who will work with other nations, but not roll over and take shit either.

      There’s nothing wrong with carrying a big stick, but nowadays everyone has forgotten the first part of Roosevelt’s sentence… “Speak softly, but carry a big stick.”

      In other words, let your actions speak for you.
