Johnson says Putin ‘not to be trusted,’ ‘dangerous’
The Hill ^ | 3/2/2025 | TARA SUTER

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “dangerous” and “not to be trusted.”

“What is your view of Vladimir Putin?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Johnson on “State of the Union.”

“I think Vladimir Putin is an old-school communist, a former KGB agent, and he’s not to be trusted and he is dangerous,” Johnson responded. “The way I view this is that China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are engaged in a new axis — axis powers, and they are not on America’s side. Let’s be crystal clear about that.”

Not trusted? Now do Barack Obama, Susan Rice, the Vindman brothers, Newsom, Pelosi, Schumer, Jao Bai-din, Zelensky, Starmer, Trudeau, and the rest of them.

Absolutely true.

Neither are our “allies”, for that matter.

Agreed. Putin is not to be trusted. Zelenskyy just made it very clear that Zelenskyy is not to be trusted either.

Neither side can be trusted, that’s the bottom line. Trump and his team have their work cut out for them.

Putin largely coddled Ukrainian Nazis killing 12,000 civilians in Donbass until 2022. Then he did something about it.

But Trump is taking it head on. Right now his attention is on Zelenskyy, once he comes to heal, then he’ll start focusing his attention on Putin.

No need to fight a “two-front war” at this point.

The list of who you trust is pretty short. Mike Johnson isn’t on it.

In today’s world, you can’t trust anyone, and I mean anyone, especially when it comes to money and power.

Both are dictators. It’s one dictator v/s another...period. All that crap about democracy, fighting for independence etc that Zelensky spews out is simply tickling ears in order to grab more money. That and the ‘we’re just a small nation and look what Russia is doing, picking on us’.

Johnson can’t be trusted to keep his trap shut when the President is negotiating.

Think about it, if something happened to Trump and Vance, this preening dork would be in line to be POTUS.
