Maybe so, but I also think he is more likely to get played by Putin, in the end. The best way to con someone is to seem to place your confidence in them, and then appeal to their vanity. Trump seems like the perfect mark for that.
Not that it matters. He will lose decisively.

We're told Hilary has all this amazing foreign policy experience and yet Donald was making more sense on Syria in the debate. I watched the extracts from it and I was scratching my head. Donald is supposed to be the insane one yet there Hilary is making thinly veiled threats to the Russians.

-as is the rest of the world, because russia appears to bombing everything but isis.
I'm not sure what your definition of sense is, in context. The minute she invoked the russian boogeyman, real or imagined, she yanked votes away from Trump. That;s the point of the debate, no? It;s not exactly a moment of discovery, no one learnd, then, that Hillary had a critical view of russia or putin, or even that russia and putin would not prefer a president clinton. We already knew that.
You know, theres an irony in all this, particularly when it comes to russia. Trumps the "tough guy", that's what his appeal is supposed to be. Why is it that the only people who do or have any reason to fear him....are american citizens, and destitute refugees?

How does it benefit Russia not to bomb DAESH? They want to save their ally Assad right? It's the Saudis that love DAESH.

Doesn't mean he won't just easily change his attitude about Russia on a whim. This is Trump we're talking about.

Who said it didn't? What's the relevance, though, since they seem to be focused on bombing those who oppose assad, rather than isis?

If Russia only bombs those who oppose Assad then they must be bombing DAESH because DAESH opposes Assad. Or are you saying they don't? All those videos of beheading Syrian military people can't be fake, can they?

Maybe, when they're done leveling Aleppo...they'll go deal with some daesh? IDK what to tell you rep, these are your boys here, not mine.

That would be tough while he's sucking Putin's cock.
