I became pleased with Putin in that interview with Megan Kelly. He iced her and took no notice of her disrespectful, provocative attire.
Kelly thought she had hookered the greatest optic ever, of her career, until in the moment.
I was delighted. He never gave Trump any trouble, but for a minor move or two, to throw the world off balance.
Wouldn’t be surprised a whit if Putin and Trump are to some extent working together in the back channel against the global reset they both bitterly oppose.
That's my theory.
Putin hates Soros, and by extension, the Derp State.
