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."

Putin cans say what he wants about how our country came about. It’s what has happened since then that matters. If Russia were governed differently, maybe it could be just like the U.S. & Putin would have no need of saying what he did. We didn’t set out to be a socialistic nation like Russia did at one point.
“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.”
LOL! And look what the commies that took over Russia after that did to those that helped us! Murdered them.
Rumor has it that aMorePerfectUnion works for the Russian-loving Armstrong/delta7.
