Putin is behaving in a very dangerous way. And Donald Trump sounds as though he would simply sit back and allow that to go on. I worry about where that would end up.
Paul Wolfowitz
Image
Putin is going to be considering the United States his number one enemy no matter who our president is - and no matter who's elected, that isn't going to change. I think Putin is loving the media saying he's got all this power, 'cause they're a Third World country outside of their military.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Putin wants to stay in power, but not so that he can finally solve our most pressing problems: education, health care, poverty.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Image
Putin is very much afraid of leaving. Because he is formally right now in his first term, so has another eight years from now. Legally, he has created all the mechanisms for himself. He's a lawyer.
Ilya Ponomarev
Image
Putin has reversed all the liberalizing reforms carried out by his predecessor.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin needs to terrorize his own elite. He is more afraid of those in his own surroundings than any protests there are people there who are at least as critical as I am because they see up close that the system doesn't work. He wants to silence them.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin is not a mass murderer. But, having said that, he is a product of the KGB, and the KGB was, of course, the secret police force of the Soviet Union.
Anne Applebaum
Image
Putin is someone who has been undermining the norms of what we consider the world order since he got into power and in increasing success.
David Brooks
Image
Putin has had many positive experiences working with Western political leaders whose business interests made them more disposed to deal with Russia.
Al Franken
Image
Putin and his advisers don't understand the power of public opinion in the West. They believe in conspiracy theories and that someone is orchestrating a malicious campaign against Russia. They don't realize that even conservative politicians have to react when newspapers and artists express their concern on such an issue.
Alexei Navalny
Image
Putin likes to quote a sentence from Czar Alexander III, who said that Russian has only two allies - the army and the navy. As a citizen, this makes me sit up and take notice. This is a concept of self-imposed isolation, a defense strategy that sees Russia surrounded by enemies.
Vladimir Sorokin
Image
Putin wants to reestablish Russian greatness, not as the Cold War, but in 19th century empire terms.
William J. Clinton
Image
Putin has a lot at stake here and restoring the relationship with the United States, and there are already signs as Sandy mentioned that he's moving in the right direction to begin to ascertain that their trade with Iran is not used for the production of nuclear weapons.
Frank Carlucci
Image
Putin can't afford to leave the office because he will be in real danger of being prosecuted for things he and his people did during their stay in power.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Putin regards me as the most dangerous person, and when they were releasing me from jail, the only condition was that I leave the country. And when they did push me out of the country, to make sure that I wouldn't come back, they opened up a criminal case against me - a new one.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Image
Putin is somebody who really respects strength.
Kimberly Zisk Marten
Image
Putin is just maneuvering. He wants to be respected. He wants to be an important player in global politics. He wants people to negotiate with him and he wants to have the trade-offs here and there and spheres of influence. He's very much a person of the 20th century in the global and geopolitical space.
Ilya Ponomarev
Image
Putin has succeeded in many ways in making Russia an essential player there. He seems to have stabilized the Assad regime. And he has limited the options for the U.S. and its allies, you know. He has air control over a significant amount of territory. And he can prevent the allies from establishing a no-fly zone there.
Corey Flintoff
Image
Putin's an egomaniac, so there are two ways he can process his ego mania. He can say, Oh, I stood up to the U.S., or, Hey, I'm essential to the world order.
David Brooks
Image
Putin knows how to run the KGB playbook. I mean, he knows how to work people.
Adam Kinzinger
Image
Putin got lucky with the Sochi Olympics - it didn't fail, it was a great spectacle - and then he thought, Why not grab Crimea? And ended up getting stuck. If he had been a wise man, he wouldn't have done that. Of course, then he wouldn't have held the Olympics, either.
Vladimir Voinovich
Image
Putin is a tough guy. I met him once.
Donald Trump
Image
Putin has outsmarted Hillary Clinton and Obama at every single step of the way. Whether it's Syria, you name it. Missiles.
Donald Trump
Image
Putin is a leader of his country. I say it's better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world major fight, that's a good thing.
Donald Trump
