LOL, Putin should know by now that President Trump is different than his predecessor and won’t respond to threats with placating.

-11 ( +4 / -15 )

Yeah right. Donald Trump has never met an actual threat he didn't back down from. If he can't bully, bluster, or BS his way out of it... he rolls over and presents his belly like the coward he is.

The question that has to be answered, of course, is if Putin's also bluffing.

So is Trump no longer Putin's puppet?

Love spat?

Donnie Fiasco gonna roll over I bet.

This Russia nonsense likely over by next week. Liberal media seems unhappy and talking about why can’t mueller just continue some more? It’s better as a narrative than what the result will be.

Another day and another elementary school-level boast from Trump's Shadow Campaign Manager.

When your country's annual GDP is less than NY, California or Texas, all you can do is boast.

He's also just doing the typical KGB thing - knowing the Mueller report will come out soon and clearly link Russia to the Trump campaign and a massive Russian influence operation, he tries to be threatening to change the narrative.

It's likely Trump and Putin conspired to stage these recent Putin taunts - to try to take the heat off both of them.

Vlad can only point to one success - as Andrew McCabe highlights, it's likely he's put a Russian asset in the White House...

Indeed, Putin knows that Trump is his lapdog, unlike his predecessors.

Love spat?

If Trump hadn't pulled the U.S. out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty due to Russia's repeated violations of it, and we didn't have this "spat" you would be still be calling Trump Putin's puppet. No matter what the man does he can't win with you.

GO FOR IT ! Mr. Putin!  The Trump administration unilaterally  teared the "Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty 1987" was unexcusable intention to undermine world peace ! You cannot bargain or appeasement to warmonger like John Bolton these worst kind of life came to power! Like Hitler teared the Vesallies treaty 1919 and the Japanese Empire  abolisment of "Washington Naval treaty 1922" in 1934!  These tearing of a committment signed with historic effects has a facism notion!

Trump is the new fascist!

Yeah wow that's amazing. It's almost so tough it's like this never happened:

Hey by the way, has Trump released his notes from his private meeting with Putin? Nah. Nothing weird about that at all. But this little war of words completely changes everything.

GO FOR IT ! Mr. Putin!

Yeah, let's have WW3! lol

Yeah wow that's amazing. It's almost so tough it's like this never happened:

"Who would you believe, Putin or the U.S. intelligence community? "

That's a tough one. On one hand ya got Putin... on the other hand ya got the people who insisted Iraq had WMD and a bunch of other falsehoods...

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

So? Just hate them both equally.

So, Putin or the GOP?

How about not hating either one? Getting along with Putin, who is in charge of the world's biggest nuclear arsenal without letting him violate nuclear treaties seems like a good thing to try to do, no?

-6 ( +1 / -7 )

To be honest, I don't think Trump is Putin's puppet. I think Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, whatever the Russians got in return, is a mystery to me though because Trump won't reveal what goes on behind closed doors with Putin (and I doubt it was a recreation of an R. Kelly concert). I imagine though that its a complex system of leverage which involves charades as such listed in the current article. Putin can't even control his own oligarchs, its unlikely he is in control of the white house. Doesn't mean Trump isn't selling America away to them for information, election aid, and future business plans.

@Serrano :Yeah, let's have WW3! lol

If this is the case, it is Trump's fault of kick started this ! Trump &  his clique has intention to abolish every commitment has written, not just the INF but everythingTrump is a "BackStabber", he stabbed everyone including you!

So I say again: GO FOR IT! Mr.Putin!

Black: The investigation isnt over, liberals screech. So what happens when it IS over soon and you still have none of your allegations confirmed with any evidence from Mueller?

Well, that’s actually our question to you, And you should start mapping out your answer now.

Here’s the question:

You'll have us believe that every part of the investigation was corrupt...except for the result?

Like...they could force fake confessions from Trump’s buddies but they just couldn’t pull off framing Trump, a known liar and proven scammer, of anything at all?

Here’s what you should do:

Keep saying there was corruption but Trump was just so damn smart he stayed a step ahead of it all. There was a conspiracy to remove him but he beat them all. Trump, and only a Trump, is smart enough to pull this off.

Change it up a bit by using your own words but overall I think this is your best move if Trump is cleared. If the report says he’s guilty of something, then just continue to say everything is corrupt, including the result.

You’re welcome.

Russia's blackhole subs are untouchable.

Don't believe the hype - Russia's subs still make too much noise
