Actually Putin is telling the truth from his perspective.
A slightly more accurate translation might be. âThere is nothing criminal about the men who work for me. They were just following my orders. They love Russia.â
âHuman life is trash. Itâs time someone took it out.â
OT
Apparently âAbsolute Regentsâ is returning in style in this centuryâŚ
No collusion! And collusion is not a crime! Guess we know where he learned that from.
âThere is nothing special or criminal about it, I can assure you.
RightâŚ
Nothing personal. Itâs just business.
Jeez whatâs the fuss? I could have had Skirpal and his daughter inserted, feet first, alive and screaming, into a blazing furnace like I did one of Christopher Steeleâs suspected sources. Instead I had them mercifully poisoned, in a way that their deaths would have been comparatively less painfulâŚif these totally innocent men hadnât fucked up the quantity and location of the nerve agentâŚ
Itâs hard to find good help these days, and even when you do, so often you must have them killed for neatness sake. Loose ends.
Putin then added that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election in the US, that there are no Russian troops in Ukraine, that Russia did not shoot down flight MH 17, and that Crimea begged to be liberated by Russia.
I guess Novichock is a common, non-prescription drug in Russia ? Good against rats, I would guessâŚ
âWe know who these people are, we have found them,â Putin said. âThere is nothing special or criminal about it, I can assure you.â [emphasis mine]
Aside from the obvious fact that he is such a notorious assassin that âthose peopleâ are probably not at all pleased heâs âfound them,â I think everyone is quite familiar with spurious expressions of confidence from authoritarian leaders. In fact weâve got a cheeto-faced, ferret-wearing shitgibbon over here that uses the phrase âbelieve meâ so frequently it makes the hoots of howler monkeys more meaningful.
And we would have won in Afghanistan if not for the GOP insistence on funding the MujahedeenâŚbefore they realized that I wasnât a Communist, just a kleptocrat who will do anything to keep political powerâŚexactly like themâŚ
Yep Trump sounds just like him.
âWe know who these people are, we have found them,â Putin said. âThere is nothing special or criminal about it, I can assure you.â
Putinâs assurances are not assuring. Putin saying, âI can assure youâ is just plain laughable.
Asked by the panelâs moderator if the men work for the military, Putin replied that they are âciviliansâ and called on the men to come forward.
âI would like to call on them so that they can hear us today: They should go to some media outlet. I hope they will come forward and tell about themselves.â
And thatâs just weak. Pitiful. Again, laughable. This is supposed to be some KGB whiz? - pffffffffffffffffft.
Look at that picture of Putin⌠at EVERY pic of Putin⌠always the smirk. Thatâs one shady M F right there!
