Mongo, I love how the media is oh-so-aghast over Trump calling Putin a "savvy genius."

Here is U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters being interviewed by Jim Acosta on CNN. He called Putin "talented", "brilliant", and a "genius" ...

But my message to American decision makers do not -- just because Putin didn't go to the right schools, just because he doesn't have great table manners. Don't take him lightly. Here's a man who's punked three U.S. presidents in a row working on a fourth. He's -- he was dealt a pair of eights. We have a royal flush, and we followed it again and again. So Putin is an extremely talented, a brilliant man, sometimes a crude man, but never underestimate the genius of the outsider.
Here's Washington Monthly calling Putin what everyone else calls him, a "chess master."
