Krasnov publicly stated he can't understand why people hate Russia but love Germany & Japan.
He then made the claim that Putin fought in WW II, a claim that for anyone else would require a straight jacket. There aren't many soldiers left from WW II, I guess Putin is one of them?
Krasnov then claimed that 51 million Russians died in WW II, the actual number is closer to 27 million, maybe Krasnov just rounded the number up?
Yeah but, Joe Biden stutters when he speaks intelligently.

And this clown is the best and the brightest that the GOP has to offer? Christ on a pogo stick, we're all doomed.

(12,597 posts)Russian propaganda. Putin is the strongman he admires the most. Whether kompromat has affected the connection or not, Trump's weak, rattled mind has latched onto his hero-in-waiting, then spews the ridiculous including numbers he pulls from his ass.
The man is a crazed wreck, a greed head and traitor to the United States of America.
There's a reason Russia Today refers to the man as The Destroyer.

(9,629 posts)Would have been for a reporter to first ask Trump what year WWII ended before divulging Putins actual birth year, just to see if Trump could even accurately date the wars end.

(3,437 posts)before with Trump. (Im sorry. I dont have a link.) Trump is so stupid hes willing to throw away the 75 years since the end of WWII during which Japan and Germany have been allies and during much of which the USSR posed a great threat to the West. And, obviously, now, as Russia, the threat remains but Trump cant recognize it because his greed and imbecility are in the way.

(22,883 posts)Vladimir Putin fought in a war that ended more than 7 years before he was born? Just how is that supposed to work? Was a modified DeLorean automobile involved, by any chance?

Seriously, that is a completely bonkers thing to say. Especially for the president to say. Like full blown bonkers.

(13,856 posts)... nations who joined us in embracing values of global citizenship -- values like human-rights, rule of law, religious freedom, self-governance, and economic justice, and the thinking underlying those values, among them rationality, compassion as a moral imperative, and scientific inquiry -- are generally our natural allies. And nations who reject those values, are typically autocratic nations with expansionist ambitions that put them at odds with moral conduct and international law.
i don't know what is in his head, but his conduct at every turn tells us, and the world, that he rejects the values of global citizenship and embraces the nations that reject those values. An upside down view at odds with a vast majority of Americans. Hence, his confusion.
