He's not fawning at anything. it's called diplomacy, and Trump must negotiate with the world's second largest nuclear power, unless you'd rather go to war with them.

Is right and wrong determined by the amount of nuclear weapons a country has? Why are we so eager to beat our chest and flex our military might over third rate dictators like the one in North Korea, but immediately shrink and defer to Putin? If North Korea pulled the same thing in South Korea that Putin pulled in the Ukraine, would we do anything about it?

MSgt Steve Sweeney - I'm confused by your post. Russia occupied the Crimea and the previous President did absolutely nothing about it, and yet you're using that as a point of comparison for a hypothetical North Korean action against South Korea, and implying it would be bad if Trump did nothing? Trump wasn't the one who deferred to Russia when Russia occupied Ukraine, that was Obama. And lest you forget, Hillary was a key part of the Obama administration when they did the deal to sell uranium to Russia, so if there has been anyone kissing Putin's ass in the real world, it has been Democrats.

Did nothing about it? It is not hard to see why you are confused; you lack critical information, or just want to deny its existence, we will se which ... or perhaps you were just unaware of the numerous sanctions levied against Russia in response to Ukraine and Crimea aggression. (See US State Dept link below)
No one "sold" Uranium to Russia. That is just dumb, for numerous reasons. If Trump was so concerned about a Russian mining company operating in Wyoming, why didn't he doing anything with the sanctions bill recently passed in the Senate to get them shut down and/or out of the country? Could it be because they don't actually believe the lies they are telling you... the ones you are ready to accept without question?
As for "absolutely nothing" and deference to Russia, perhaps I can refresh your memory on actions that were taken:

Executive Order 13660, signed on March 6, 2014, authorizes sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, or for stealing the assets of the Ukrainian people. These sanctions put in place restrictions on the travel of certain individuals and officials and showed our continued efforts to impose a cost on Russia and those responsible for the situation in Crimea.

There was a thread a while back discussing post numerals. I place mine to prove a point about how ridiculous it can get... I never changed it back :0)

Try putting insults aside sometime and others may take your posts seriously.
If you haven't noticed, Russia is the #2 military power in the world with China #3. If the USA doesn't make serious attempts at cultivating a relationship with Russia, we will end up with another Cold War at the least. What is more likely is if Russia is isolated by us, the will retaliate by annexing former USSR countries making the world a lot more dangerous than it is today.

Seeing as how China did far worse than Russia during Obama's term and they suffered little in sanctions, Democrats seem to have their priorities confused.

It is odd that you of all people complain about rants, hypocrisy, and name calling. That is all your posts contain.
You call Trump and anyone who voted for him liars, racists, etc, but don't recognize Obama, Hillary, and their voters for the same thing.
You post about Trump insulting your intelligence, but your language, spelling, sentence structure (lack of), and baseless accusations, insults my intelligence..

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - See, your most recent post is a good example of why the word "libtard" is used as often as it is.
What happened to "When they go low, we go high"? That's a Democrat/liberal saying. Why don't you show us how that works?
