Vladimir Putin has taken a thinly-veiled swipe at the USA as the nation gears up to celebrate its Independence Day on July 4. The Russian President couldn't resist pointing out that he considers Russia to have played a key role in helping the much younger country achieve statehood during a call with his American counterpart on Thursday. Putin said: "Russia played an important role in the formation of American statehood, including through the War of Independence 250 years ago, and then during the Civil War, which ended 160 years ago."
Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov added: "Of course, he congratulated Trump on the national holiday of the United States, celebrated tomorrow ... It was stated that our countries are linked not only by the alliance in the First and Second World Wars, but also by deepr historical roots."

They so much want us to go to war with Russia. The left needs them as their boogieman enemy.
So that POS rag from the decaying and increasingly commie UK’s tabloid keeps stirring the pot.
The real enemies are right here inside the US and having major hissy fits after the BBB passed yesterday. Their lies are the damaging type.
and Russia did sell Alaska to us
Don’t know about that Putin but er do know that the USA saved Russia and the rest of Europe from the Nazis in WWII.
You’re welcome.
Oh wow. A British tabloid calls that a “swipe”. (it wasn’t).
If this is true, I’ve no doubt that President Trump returned the barb. Perhaps he asked Putin when the people of Russia can have their own Independence Day?
For domestic consumption.
Forget the alleged “dig” because the EU is our enemy, not Putin.
And then they came up with Lenin and Stalin and Communism and became a world threat...
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
And Spain. Spain rarely gets mentioned.
Envy in action
UK Daily Tabloid propaganda.
Russian fleet in Civil War stayed in New York harbor and San Francisco offering to help protect the cities from Confederate raiders. Sailors helped to put out fires and the city bands played “God Save the Czar.” Many American Hookers learned to speak Russian.

Absolutely true. The Russian Empire, not the Soviet Union (which Putin deliberately tries to merge together, neatly forgetting his continuing Communist past and the story of the real creator of the USSR, being Germany during WWI).
Germany, supposedly reluctantly approved by Kaiser Wilhelm of the machinations of his FM Beckman Holtveck (sic) and a Socialist of the the name of Helfhand (Helping Hand), arranged for a German Army guarded armored train taking 70 Comrades and V. Lenin as well as 1 million plus in gold from Switzerland to/thru Helsinki -transferred by ferry boat to the train into St. Petersberg). Kaiser was assured by Hindenburg and the crazy Ludendorff, that neutralizing Russia would allow them to pull forces to concentrate on the French and win the war. They didn’t of course).
The Kaiser didn’t give a damn about his cousin Nicholas— when it came to the Kaiser’s greater personal glory. What a joke he became- trying to install himself back in the country weaseling with Hitler who ignored him.
Putin is East German/Russian KGB never was who still thinks of himself as some great Russian leader. He is destroying what is left of Russia for his greater persistence and fraud. He is not the bugaboo created and maintained by US mil-industrial types- he long ago just became a basic gas station salesman for the vast resources of real Russia.
Trump is figuring out the Stalinist that is Putin, who needs perpetual war as much as the Ukrainian grift operators in the US.
And Scotch was inwented by a little old lady from Leningrad.
There is no guaranteed freedom of the press in the UK. They print whatever MI6 tells them to.
