Thanks for the help Vladi Daddi!

Ace advice … amounting to nothing.

The real question: how is Russia going to use this event to further undermine the US? I’m sure we’ll all find out shortly.

We can only hope Russia finally incinerates the USA and Putin becomes president, Lavrov VP.

“Putin: US Has ‘Certain Responsibility’ For Khashoggi.”

Says the guy who’s murdered 58 journalists.

And would anyone around Trump dare to point this out to him? … Nah.

I’d argue it can be read as more of a brag than an admonishment.

That is an absurdly good troll

And when Trump himself starts having journalists killed, he can take full responsibility for those murders.

I believe the correct word for Putin here is ‘Chutzpah.’ The US’s responsibility is to respond appropriately to the facts, as in imposing sanctions on Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Trumpf refused to join those strongly condemning the Russians poisoning defectors in the UK, and waffles to the point of absurdity here.
What Putin’s comment should tell Trumpf, but he won’t get it, is that Putin is a smart opportunist who will use any tactic to undercut the US and to advance Russian interests.

Putin being all holy and pure - it sure does bring a smile to my face.

Remember, in the region it is Iran/Russia vs. Saudia Arabia/ USA, and Turkey is becoming more friendly with Russia distancing itself from ally/NATO member the USA. This dynamic is at work in Putin’s assessment of the situation, his manuevering behind the scenes, and manipulation of the players to gain further Russian advantage over the USA, if it can be had.

I believe the correct word for Putin is mob-owned, apartment-bombing sociopath —but maybe that’s just me.

That works for me too. So many synonyms, so little shame,

Vlad is in the house! I was getting a little worried. The tsarevitch was being a little too quiet for the past few weeks. It is good to see him back and in rare form!

He’s tRump’s psoriasis, always there, always ugly, red and itchy… :joy:
