Vladimir Putin to Corporate America: You should 'help' President Trump
CNN Money ^ | June 2, 2017 | Alanna Petroff

Russian President Vladimir Putin has a message for Corporate America: Help President Trump.

"Help us restore normal political dialogue," Putin told executives from major U.S. companies during a business roundtable at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday.

"I ask you on behalf of Russia, and I appeal to the American side: Help the newly elected president, the head of the United States administration," he said.

Putin's audience included senior executives from Boeing (BA), Caterpillar (CAT), Chevron (CVX), Philip Morris (PM) and Honeywell (HON).

Relations between Russia and the U.S. have been in sharp decline since 2014, when Western powers reacted to Moscow's annexation of Crimea by slapping sanctions on the country.

Allegations that Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential election in 2016 have further strained the relationship. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller is now leading an investigation into Moscow's actions, including potential collusion between President Trump's.....

While I was fighting the Cold War, I never dreamed, that in my lifetime, I would have more respect for the Russians, than for the EU.

And he’s having fun doing it too. The Democrats plan to use Russia as their election loss scapegoat is blowing up in their faces. Why the Dems would use them as part of the big lie is baffling. The Democrats have been in bed with the Russians for decades. Vlad’s daily nighttime reading is probably dossiers on American politicians “collaborating” with Russian agents and spies to sell out our country while being paid handsomely to do it. Vlad is enjoying this and no doubt he has the globalists in Congress sweating bullets knowing he has the goods on them and could expose their misdeeds at any time.

IMHO: I think this whole Russia, Russia, Russia thing is to keep President Trump and Putin apart...

No telling JUST what Zero and Clinton did over there...you can’t trust the media, talking heads or radio show hosts, so who are you going to trust? Me: If I hear it come out of President Trump’s mouth, it’s the truth...

What will be even more surprising are the Eastern European countries - such as Hungary, Poland, Czech, etc. Right now, their views fit Russia’s almost perfect and are TOTALLY DIFFERENT than Western Europe, particularly on their Muslim takeover.

Eventually push will come to shove as the EU consolidate their (albeit small) militaries and they will have to choose. So which way do they go...I predict they choose to align with the Russians, a people they’ve always despised, but will now let them run their own immigration policies, along with not mandating the maximum allow Wattage for electric tea kettles. Of course that will mean pulling out of NATO, but they were never really in NATO. We sent a few thousand troops there, but everyone knows that Russia could take them out, along with the local militaries, in 5 minutes.

“While I was fighting the Cold War, I never dreamed, that in my lifetime, I would have more respect for the Russians, than for the EU.”

Economicaly, Russia is a socialist backwater compared to most EU members. Most industry in Russia is controlled by the government.

Russia’s per capital GDP is less than Greece.

Putin is more “American” than a lot of “Americans.”

In what respects?

Russia may be a third world country with missiles, with a lousy economy, and I think we still need to watch them with both eyes, but I like the way they deal with terrorists. They simply kill them. The only good terrorist, is a dead one.

They got tired of secular socialism. But it became the rage here.

I actually trust Putin and what he says more than I trust our MSM, Dems, Hollywood mouthpieces, our Deep State, the Swamp, and the socialist, elitist EU leaders. Isn’t that something, to say that. And I mean it.

The Moose proportion of Russia population is growing. History tells us that isn’t likely to remain dormant or un-influential. Scoff if you want but Muslims, unevangelized, are a slow danger.

Something tells me that outside of a handful of corporations that have profited from the government’s “green” mandates (along with tax benefits and subsidies), most DO support Trump. GE, Tesla - they depend on taxpayer money for much of their profit. The small foundry (fi it even still exists), not so much.

Pooty might want to deliver the same message to McCain and Yeb.
