Putin's Napoleon Complex?

Some brilliant observers have suggested Russia's leader, who is not particularly tall, may suffer with a "Napoleon Complex". I would contend what Vladimir Putin lacks in height, he makes up for in intellect and courage. Putin has been much more canny than his foreign adversaries. Putin is standing tall for Russian interests and ethnic Russians, while Obama and Kerry, who are both above average height, look small in comparison, failing to defend America's strategic interests and leaving US allies more vulnerable than they were under the last President Bush. Do you think the Ukraine takes security guarantees from the United States seriously anymore? The world takes Putin plenty serious now.
