Is Russia's Putin really the "genius" that Donald Trump thinks he is?

Only an idiot that thinks he's a genius would consider Putin a genius.

Well he's smarter than Trump. But he may have bitten off a bit more than he can chew this time. We'll see. Biden worked hard with Europe to push a united front of economic sanctions and it's going to crush Russia if Putin doesn't get back in line.

i'd say Putin will then try to figure out a way to plan his next mob hit.

Putin is a despicable pile of shit, for sure. No wonder Trump looks up to him.

Obviously there's worse leaders before that commited crimes and would make Putin look like a gentleman.
Look no further than Slobodan Milosevic.

Killer, kleptocrat, genius, spy: the many myths of Vladimir Putin
The Long Read: Russia’s role in Trump’s election has led to a boom in Putinology. But do all these theories say more about us than Putin?
There is a long history of calling Putin several things - genius, killer, klepotcrat, maniac
I don't think anyone would be thinking calling him ANY of those things is "good". If he's "genius", he's "evil genius".
Putin Isn’t a Genius. He’s Leonid Brezhnev.
Why Russia’s strongman economy can’t reform.

The West should see Russia’s intervention in Syria as a desperate gamble, not a brilliant gambit.
