Discussion: Putin: 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' As Trump Ditches Climate Deal

Putin will choose his moment to turn on Trump well: when heā€™s outlived his usefulness but still has enough support that the revelation starts a civil war.

And letā€™s not forget the additional arctic territory, including mineral rights, Russia claimed just last year.

This is the best ironic quotation of that Bobby McFerrin song since Bush Pere used it in his doomed reelection campaign and drew the condemnation of the artist.

Seriously, what does Pooty-Poot know that heā€™s this fucking cocky? That he isnā€™t even the slightest bit worried about what happens if/when legitimate governance is restored to the US?

Putin canā€™t build anything but knows he can fuck things up royal. Thatā€™s a lot of negative power, a lot of leverage.

This is embarrassing. The U.S. is such a freaking joke that Putin doesnā€™t even have to bother any more.

I think Putin quoting a song title from 1988 says about all we need to know. Those were the good oleā€™ days as far as he was concernedā€¦Those were the days when Mother Russia was still the USSR, and he was gainfully employed as a not so very impressive KGB agent. Heā€™s a throwback and relic, but somehow by stealing all the accumulated wealth right out from under the people of his country, and leaving most of them nothing in return, heā€™s managed to make himself dictator for life in this new age of Russian kleptocracy.

From 1985 to 1990, he served in Dresden, East Germany, using a cover identity as a translator. According to Putinā€™s biographer Masha Gessen, ā€œPutin and his colleagues were reduced mainly to collecting press clippings, thus contributing to the mountains of useless information produced by the KGB.ā€ According to Putinā€™s official biography, during the fall of the Berlin Wall that began on 9 November 1989, he burned KGB files to prevent demonstrators from obtaining them.

Lots of speculation- previously at least - about how this KGB cadet, trained and accepted into one of their most elite channels, and fluent in German - instead got sidetracked into a mediocre tracking, as you point to above. Higher-ups strongly suspected heā€™d be susceptible to blackmail.

Russia also insisted in its Paris submission that it be given the maximum potential credit for carbon adsorbed out of the atmosphere by Siberiaā€™s vast undeveloped forests.

Then Russia wonā€™t be bothered if we also make a deduction for the vast amounts of methane that will soon be percolating up from the thawing Siberian permafrost.

And judging from the photo, it looks like Vlad is drinking some of Robert Mercerā€™s SuperLongevity UrineĀ®. Itā€™s got electrolytes.

Putin quipped

Ho, ho, ho, Iā€™m laughing because if I donā€™t heā€™ll kill meā€¦
Collagen-packed Putieā€™s suddenly on US cable regurgitating classic Trump lines like an Apprentice fanboy. Pussy alert!
Kudos to Keir Simmons of NBC for his amusing chase of Putin-sized tiny ā€˜bankerā€™ Sergey Gorkov at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, since renamed the Trump Leadership Void.
Man, Trump sure has a problem with the geysā€¦

Why is Putin acting like Nigel Farage all of a sudden? Sticking his two cents into our situation?

ā€¦because he can?

Trounce is inextricably linked to Pootie Poot now.
Every move he makes aligns him with Russia and their wants and desires and moves him further and further away from our allies.

It seems that Pootie assumes that the Trounce way will endure and heā€™ll continue getting his way with ease as he is now.
I donā€™t see a Trounce second term or a replacement coming from the Trumpp Org.
Kushner is done and so are the little Trumpps.
So who does Poots see carrying the Trounce torch?

It is a gamble because when the Dems get back in position to end this slide towards Russia, they will put a choke on him and make him pay for the damage heā€™s done.

My money is with the left.
