WASHINGTON What is striking about Donald J. Trumps latest effusion of
admiration for Russias stony-faced leader, Vladimir V. Putin, is how
similar it is to the way Mr. Putin is portrayed in Russia: as a necessary
foil for an aggressive and flawed American leadership.
.
Interviewed at an NBC candidates forum Wednesday night, Mr. Trump offered
no account of Mr. Putins achievements, except perhaps for noting an 82
percent approval rating from a polling agency now under legal threat as a
foreign agent. Nor did Mr. Trump outline much of a vision for working with
him if he became president, beyond pondering how wonderful it would be if
Russia and the United States could join forces against the Islamic State.
.
Instead he recited a litany of perceived slights or disrespect that
President Obama has endured on the world stage, including the awkward
arrival ceremony on his most recent visit to China for the Group of 20
gathering. The message, Mr. Trump said, is that Mr. Putin earns more
respect now than Mr. Obama.
.
Hes been a leader, he said of Mr. Putin, far more than our president has
been a leader.
.
Not surprisingly, Hillary Clinton, campaigning to be Mr. Obamas Democratic
successor, sharply criticized the remarks on Thursday. So did some fellow
Republicans, including the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan, who listed many of
the reasons Mr. Putin amounts to an adversary of the United States, not a
potential ally.
.
But Mr. Trumps view of the Russian president is not uncommon among those
who have used him as a measure of Mr. Obamas standing in the world or
more generally the United States standing as the worlds dominant
superpower.
.
In Russia, it is at the heart of the depiction of Mr. Putin as the bulwark
against a conspiring United States. It underlies Mr. Putins attractiveness
to nationalist parties in Europe dismayed by what they view as feckless
leadership in the face of economic difficulties and the challenge of
immigration. And it is shared by those in the Middle East who see Russias
intervention in Syria on behalf of its embattled president, Bashar
al-Assad as decisive, and not hesitant and convoluted, as American policy
has been.
.
In 2013, when Mr. Putin brokered an agreement to collect and destroy most
of Syrias chemical weapons, thus averting American-led airstrikes that Mr.
Obama had threatened, Matt Drudge of the conservative Drudge Report called
Mr. Putin, perhaps archly, the leader of the free world. The editors of
Forbes magazine ranked him as the most influential world leader, a purely
symbolic honorific he has lost and regained since but one that is
trumpeted inside Russia.
.
I think he genuinely admires Putin as a strongman who gets things done,
said Angela E. Stent, a professor at Georgetown University, referring to
Mr. Trump.
.
What achievements of Mr. Putins does Mr. Trump admire? Everybody pays
attention to him, Ms. Stent said, adding that Russias military operations
in Syria since last year have put him back in the center of international
diplomacy.
.
Russias critics and certainly the White House would dispute Mr. Putins
accomplishments, noting the corrupted, kleptocratic economy and a stunted
political system that has marginalized genuine opposition, at times
violently.
