If you've got a murderous autocrat praising you, it should trigger an "I've made a huge mistake" response.
Not so for narcissists though - anything that boosts their ego is welcome, anything. Russia knows this, and plays the fuck out of it like a shit fiddle, Randy.
And useful idiots fall for it, like really powerful idiots. It makes me sad for humanity that such depraved sociopaths can still win out in this day and age.
The twat comes from apartheid gem money. I don't think he minds getting head pats from Vlad.
Elmo is going to take the praise and dwell in it. He won't care who these words came from, and he's going to praise Putin back for his "insightful observation". And Elmos fanboys are going to suck it up, and will probably go on to say that the world better bows to them both. I hate everything about this, so much.
