MOSCOW, Oct 17 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Thursday questioned the tone of a letter sent by U.S. President Donald Trump to his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan, saying it was highly unusual for correspondence between heads of state.
The White House on Wednesday released the Oct. 9 letter, in which Trump urged Erdogan to halt Turkey's cross-border offensive into northeast Syria, saying "Don't be a tough guy" and "Don't be a fool!"

Probably another bs fake news from rooters!
None of your business, Russkies!
A nice bullet to the head would cure Putin...
Everything pres. Trump does is “unusual”, but it usually works. That’s the point.
Hmmm... Speak softly and carry HUGE, CRIPPLING SANCTIONS.
Sounds good to me.
“In one of the most surreal moments in the history of the Cold War, Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev removes his shoe and threatens to pound a table with it in protest against a speech critical of Soviet policy in Eastern Europe. During a debate over a Russian resolution decrying colonialism, a representative of the government of the Philippines charged the Soviets with employing a double standard, pointing to their domination of Eastern Europe as an example of the colonialism they were criticizing in their resolution.
In response, Khrushchev removed his loafer and waved it in protest (there is some debate around whether or not he then banged the table with it). The chaotic scene finally ended when General Assembly President Frederick Boland (Ireland) broke his gavel calling the meeting to order, but not before the image of Khrushchev as a hotheaded buffoon was indelibly etched into America’s collective memory.”

Putin caught pants down supporting IsIs and Turk islamists like a hypocrite had to virtue signal of course.
Now the deep Soviet State to the democrats will become more obvious.
To the German Commander.
NUTS!
The American Commander.
HA HA HA HA.... Putin is getting into the trolling the press thing too, obviously emulating his hero... VSGPDJTPOTUS.
Except he didn’t say “nuts”...
I could see Putin saying the same thing. “Don’t be a tough guy” and “Don’t be a fool!”
He did definitely bang his shoe on the desk. It is reported in multiple places on the web.
I suspect Vlad’s getting a chuckle out of the whole thing.
“Don’t be a tough guy” and “Don’t be a fool!”
Sounds pretty typical for guy from the Bronx.
Thanks libstripper. The bottom of the letter would have had a P.S., "and tell your Russian allies to go **** themselves", but you know our President, he was trying to tone it down.
We think alike.
/bingo
Many people who don’t speak Trump; don’t get Trump.
Flowery platitudes and politispeak is just not his style.
Direct and to the point is. There can be no misunderstanding his point or meaning.
