MOSCOW, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he welcomed comments by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump that he wanted deeper relations with Russia.

"He is a very flamboyant man, very talented, no doubt about that... He is an absolute leader of the presidential race, as we see it today. He says that he wants to move to another level of relations, to a deeper level of relations with Russia. How can we not welcome that? Of course we welcome it," Putin told reporters.

4. Now wait.

Some idiot from the U.S. says Putin in flamboyant, and Putin reacts in a good way for the first time since, forever?

Imagine what he'd say if we called him a stud?

Oh God, nevermind....

7. No, I think you misread it

Putin is calling Trump "flamboyant" and "an absolute leader", not the other way around.

Which really, IMHO, is even worse.

Strident anti-Russia slavering doesn't help anything.
