I don't think it legally applies, but I think he'll find that praising another leader like that so publicly and glibly will bite him in the ass later.

His problem is that this strategy of being off the cuff with no real thinking except tit-for-tat hasn't been vetted for being a good long-term strategy. If anything, Obama is setting Trump up. For good, for ill? We'll see. If he gets into some warfare or something crappy with Russia it's not going to look good. If anything, it will have the side effect of confusing us Americans. It'll be hard to understand who is a real threat and who isn't.

I disagree. I think a lot of people are paying attention, especially through their favorite media channels. I think people will also remember (though not all the details). And of course, expect people to rehash and oversimplify points 1000X times through the next several years.

Obama is just now figuring out that Putin is playing chess, not checkers. With Trump, he has the US in a checkmate which is why Obama is so enraged right now.

Funny and sad.

nah when Trump revokes all the sanctions and the GOP supports him, their "patriotism" will be exposed and a part of history. The patriotic GOP went against the CIA, DHS, and FBI to :cape: for a petty Russian dictator

:ohhh: damn, even Rolling Stone is skeptical of these new findings, and they act like Barack can walk on water

Taibbi: Something About This Russia Story Stinks

cliff notes: the report is short on specifics and this is reminiscent of the false intelligence that led to the Iraq war
Watching Democrats dive head first at this story is classic. It very well may have been the Russians. Hell, it most likely was. But their sheer refusal to exhibit any skepticism is hilarious.
