If you REALLY want to know why the left [now] hates Russia so much...this is it - Russians believe kids should be protected against gay recruiting, while Democrats feel otherwise.

All the crap about ‘collusion’ is simply their way of venting the anger.

‘As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy’s shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.’

A person SECURE in his manhood. My guess is that the kid probably took an elbow there earlier and Putin was making it better by kissing it. I used to do that with my kids.

You Putinistas are truly disgusting. If this were my site, I'd booted your butts off of here years ago. Can't believe you're allowed to remain here continuously defending and making excuses for that murderous thug assassin, KGB/FSB Putin.

It was a friggin kiss! And even if it was a “zerbert”, or “raspberry”, it’s totally inappropriate and off the charts weird lifting up the shirt of some little boy he doesn’t know and isn’t related to and putting his mouth on his stomach.

You friggin fake. You've seen the mountain of evidence many times now showing that the DEMOCRATS colluded with the Russians in an attempt to beat Trump.

From John Solomon, The Hill, May 16, 2019...

Re: Serhiy Leshchenko

"...a Ukrainian court ruled that the country’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau, closely aligned with the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, and a parliamentarian named Serhiy Leshchenko wrongly interfered in the 2016 American election by releasing documents related to Manafort."

Ukraine, a U.S. ally and neighboring foe of Russia, is soon to find out. And it’s a case with implications in the United States, where the fallout from the unproven Trump-Russia collusion scandal has engulfed several Ukrainians.

The country’s chief corruption prosecutor on Thursday opened an investigation into “suspicions” that Serhiy Leshchenko, a crusading anti-corruption member of Ukraine’s parliament and former investigative journalist, accepted bribes in 2016 from a Russian source that enabled him to buy a luxury condo far above his means. ...”

-snip-

A Ukrainian court last December ruled that Leshchenko and the head of the country’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) — an investigative agency modeled on America’s FBI — both illegally meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election by leaking financial documents that smeared then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort

The documents, known as “the black ledger,” identified payments Manafort secretly received from a Russian-backed political party in Ukraine years earlier and led to Manafort’s abrupt resignation from the Trump campaign. He eventually pleaded guilty to lobbying and tax violations and is in prison.

The court ruling against Leshchenko was an extraordinary admission of foreign government influence on America’s last presidential election.

But it wasn’t Leshchenko’s only intrusion into American politics, apparently.

Sworn testimony released a few weeks ago by Congress revealed Leshchenko also was “a source” of Russian dirt on Trump that was fed to Hillary Clinton’s opposition research firm, Fusion GPS, the firm that created the so-called Steele dossier that led to a two-year Russia probe that recently cleared Donald Trump of colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin

So, a Ukrainian parliamentarian fed dirt to Clinton’s team and leaked to the media information that harmed the Republican candidate’s campaign? That seems like more collusion than was uncovered by special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

But the most tantalizing information about Leshchenko surfaced in my interview Thursday with Ukraine’s chief anti-corruption prosecutor, Nazar Kholodnytskyy, who revealed that the alleged bribes to the parliamentarian and the condo purchase occurred around the time that Manafort stepped down under pressure based on Leshchenko’s leak.

“Absolutely that is one of the things they are going to be investigating,” Kholodnytskyy told me when asked whether any of the Russian money could have been paid as an inducement or a reward for Leshchenko’s meddling in the U.S. election.

If he had a habit of doing that to every kid he saw, I might be bothered (a la Biden’s creepy groping). I just can’t get worked up over it. Was the kid traumatized ? Putin may have issues, but this really isn’t one of them.

As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy’s shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.

He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable.

He was very sweet. I’ll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten, and that led to the gesture that I made.

There was nothing behind it really,” Putin said, smiling.”

This may have been one time when he just couldn't help himself. Because if he did it here, he most likely did it before with other kids, at least in private.

In any case, I of course agree. When it comes to Putin, there are much more serious things to be concerned about. The blankity blank Putinistas, who are permitted to post on this site, for some incomprehensible reason, aren't exactly helping matters.

It started out as an aplaud for Russia for bucking the queers instead
of accommodating them but then it came to the stupid stuff.

It’s the type of glad-handing stuff pols used to do here before we got all hypersensitive about it. I was a cute little kid, and when pols would be in campaigning mode and I was nearby, I got targeted. Over 40 years ago when my father & I were going to the courthouse, a candidate was running for Congress, saw me and picked me up and hoisted me in the air (might’ve kissed me, too). I was about 4 years old. It wasn’t considered a strange thing to do, more like showing, “See, he really cares about kids !”

Although the guy was a liberal Dem, and he won the race, I didn’t consider him to be a closet pedo. He was brought down by a sex scandal later on, but it was over his love for the ladies, not kids.

I imagine when the kid with Putin is around 80 years old, he’s going to remember that scene when the infamous pol gave him a zerbert.

Hoisting up a 4-year old is a far cry from lifting up the shirt of a total stranger's 8-year old boy and planting a kiss on his bare stomach. Can you imagine some parent walking down the street with their little 8-yesar old and seeing some complete stranger approach the kid and lift up his shirt and try to kiss him on the stomach! Wouldn't you knock the guys lights out?

I’m not denying that, I’m just pointing out why Russia became Democrat enemy Number One, which pre-dated Trump by a couple of years.

Yea, I was just tweaking you on that one, since you classify me as a Putinista, or something like that.

OK, but by leaving out that ‘little detail’ I mentioned, you make it sound as if we and the Russians are on the same side vs the Democrats, something the Left in their failed coup attempt with the Russians, was trying to portray to the American people, when in FACT the total opposite was going on. THEY were the ones working with the Russians to affect the 2016 election.

Reminds me of that old thing about Mussolini making the trains run on time, ignoring or minimizing the ‘other’ things he was doing which obviously far outweighed it.
