Motley: We know, of course, that President Obama confronted Putin with the Russian intrusion into our election and put sanctions in place.  Yes, that's the same President Obama Trump keeps telling us was so "very, very weak."  Guess what, Trump didn't have the cojones to confront Putin and, instead, simply accepted Putin's denial.  We're talking about a major league "wimp out."  Trump, who acts the bully and tells everyone what a stud he is, ends up being bullied by Putin.  You defend his action....saying that somehow it was worth it to get some sort of a cease-fire in syria.  Perhaps you might Google "Neville Chamberlain" and study how well it works to "knuckle under" to a person like Putin (and yes, I believe Hitler and Putin have a great deal in common).   Gary Crum
