Maybe he sees the end coming for Spanky and wants to play start pretending to play nice in case the next POTUS is a Democrat.

WHEN the next president is a Democrat.

"He added that Russia will be ready to engage in nuclear arms control talks with the U.S. when Washington is ready for that, but said Moscow will not initiate such negotiations.

Putin urged U.S. officials to take into account the “range and speed of our prospective weapons” before making decisions that will threaten Russia."

This is giving me some creepy 1980’s U.S.S.R. cold war rhetoric vibes.

Seems like Putin is appearing strong when he is weak.

“Putin urged U.S. officials to take into account the range and speed of our weapons before making decisions that will threaten Russia.”

I don’t know, neither trump nor mcconnell look all that fast to me…

And since Hillary wasn’t likely to offer a friendly relationship, Putin put his money and manpower into action to help elect a willing and compromised stooge.

IMO, that comment about range and speed makes the whole statement seem like it was meant for Russian consumption.

Now, that’s cute, Putin !

Of course, if you don’t want to confront a global power, there’re two courses of action: one is not to confront them, the other is to take active steps to reduce their status to less than a global power…

Friendly or just close enough to undermine, hack and subvert our democracy? Since we are talking about Putin, you know the butcher meant this statement as some sort of message. Too bad Republicans still refuse to get it.

Yes, she will be.

I am a little confused. Particularly since this is a Fox News Item.

What’s the confusion on?

Trump did Putin another favor, making us into the ‘bad’ guys by dropping the non-proliferation Treaty, which now gives Putin the ability to do out in the open the cheating they’ve been doing for several years.

And he wants a good Cold War-- the last one was good for both sides. Sure, little proxy wars killed millions around the globe, but there was by-and-large a peace to it. And great for the economy.

If I had a hysterically nervous lap dog, a chihuahua for example, I would want friendly relations with it too, Otherwise, it might pee on my nice wool trousers, or poop, or scratch them up trying to run away from the OSC

You like my big, muscular, bare-chested weapons?

The best way to negotiate an arms treaty is not to back out of one in the first place, but I guess that ship’s already sailed…
