America's Religious Right's Cult-Like Attraction to Vladimir Putin @alternet

America's Religious Right's Cult-Like Attraction to Vladimir Putin @alternet:

"It seems even more remarkable that the Republican Party’s presidential nominee has been lavishing praise on Putin even as Russia maneuvers to diminish America’s influence in the world. As president, Putin has consolidated his power through attacks on the independent media, the persecution of political opponents, and restrictions on civil society. He has annexed Crimea, supported violent separatists in Ukraine, fostered anti-democratic right-wing forces in Europe, and made the weakening of NATO a major strategic imperative. None of that has kept Donald Trump from praising Putin and welcoming Putin’s praise for him."
