7. I think Frontline has a couple of

Putin specials, but they may be a couple of years old.

15. The last Frontline was excellent - on how Putin stole and murdered his way to the top

8. I'm of Latvian heritage

We know how much the Baltics are worth to Russia and what the elimination of NATO means. I think it is top priority on Putin's list.

9. What's especially scary is how much Trump is like Putin.

Though they pointed out that Putin is much more practiced, subtle and clever at all his machinations than Trump.

10. And trump is a dolt

and easily manipulated.

Scary how many believe this posser.

12. I respectfully disagree

Putin is most likely a genius. And evil one no doubt. Doing nothing on impulse and carefully considering all his options. He has a goal bigger than himself that he has worked toward four years.

Trump is a fucking idiot. He can't even put together a coherent sentence. His only goal in life is self promotion.

13. I agree 100% as to the relative talents (or lack thereof)

of the two of them. My comparison of Trump to Putin had to do with Trump's intent and aims for the government - to turn it into an autocracy with himself in charge, as Putin has done with Russia. Putin has succeeded because he's smart; Trump will fail eventually because he's stupid. The question is only how much damage he will do in the meantime.

[GulfCoast66]

14. Got it

But he will not fail because he is stupid. And he is definitely stupid.

I believe that our institutions are stronger than most here think. And our democratic traditions. We now even have republican starting to push back.

This will not end well for Bannon.

11. Fascinating. Fills in the blanks

Doesn't give us any details. There are tons of these threads on this forum. You click and learn nothing. 'Creepy' is not even close to being informative.
