And about half of American politicians are begging to suck Putin's dick.

There's European "leaders" and politicians that are total clinging to his dick, too.

It's a psychological thing - they are so unsure about their validity and position in this world that they need an aggressive "father figure" to lead and to validate them. They are victims of their horrible childhoods, destined to repeat those traumatic experiences again and again. Includes trump, orban, even putin itself.
