to its fullest advantage!

Putin has always tried to make himself appear taller. Not happening here, LOL!

Love it!

Putin hates Obama because he calls him on his bullshit. Hillary would too. Putin is praying for a spineless pushover like The Donald.

Our president also has the classic Clint Eastwood 'don't fuck with me squint' and Pootie has a wide eyed WTF look on his face.

It has been decades since I have been in physical confrontations, but the look of our president was what I tried for as it could often prevent a physical confrontation.

What surprises me is just how short Putin is, I really thought he would be taller. It's obvious that he is suffering from a serious case of a Napolean complex, as evidenced by his aggressive policies.
