understand russia was kicked out of the g8. and he said obama, i don t think he got that. now he s pushing for a summit with vladimir putin in summer because he s going to be in europe at a nato alliance meeting. what does this have to do with putin? he s just admired putin for years, we know that. there was just a report in the wall street journal that in g7 he he never calls vladimir putin a brutal killer, he never calls kim jong-un a brutal killer. he seems to think to get a out of thee leaders is to kiss up to them. when richard nixon went to china in 1972 he didn t praise anyone for the resolution.
