Doesn't it seem strange to you guys that you hear these exact same talking points from the Donald Trump people?

It's almost like all these nationalistic authoritarians have more in common with each other than with the rest of us...

With how far Trump is up up Putin's ass, not strange at all.

I think Putin's and Trump's agendas differ a bit. Putin is an irredentist megalomaniac that loves his past as a tool of KGB oppression and wishes it back, Trump is just an old, demented, tired-of-life racist.
