Donald Trump's Top Ten Giveaways to Vladimir Putin

The number of pro-Putin positions that Donald Trump has taken has assumed quite remarkable proportions. He:

1 Wants to reduce America's commitment to NATO and reorient its activities to the Middle East. This is perhaps Vladmir Putin's greatest foreign policy desire.
2  Says America has no moral standing to complain about human and civil rights violations.
3 Welcomed Russia's incursion into Syria.
4 Considers Putin a great leader.
5 Would consider eliminating sanctions against Russia and recognizing their annexation of Crimea.
6 Wants to weaken American ties to its allies by insisting that he will walk away from them unless they pay us more for our military protection.
7 Never mentions Russia in his otherwise endless litany of countries that are taking advantage of us. 8 Opposes sending arms to Ukraine.
9 Is pro-Brexit.
10 Isn't sure he would defend the Baltics if Russia attacked them.

Have I missed anything? I probably have. It's hard to keep track....
