When has he been soft on Putin?

1. Praising him in public (you can argue that's not being 'soft' but it's not being hard either).

2. Threatening to disband NATO, which basically would be giving Putin a green light.

Strong negotiation skills. The President needs strong negotiation skills. Clinton has presented weak ones.

2. Threatening to disband NATO, which basically would be giving Putin a green light.

Also strong negotiation skills. NATO is not fulfilling its treaty obligations at the expense of the US. Disbanding wouldn't give Russia a green light either. Russia is not the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration is attacking Russia via proxy and using ISIS as a tool to destabilize. Clinton would continue this. ISIS is Washington's bargain with the devil to beat the other governments of the world. Trump is focused on terrorism and helping people.
