Donald Trump 'In Tune' With Vladimir Putin on Berlin and Ankara Attacks: Kremlin

Trump has called for international cooperation in fighting terror.

The Kremlin has praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s response to Monday’s attacks in Berlin and Ankara, claiming that his words are “in tune” with those of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump accused a “radical Islamic terrorist” of shooting dead the Russian Ambassador to Turkey on Monday before also commenting on an attack on a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany’s capital. In response to the latter, he declared “terrorists and their regional and worldwide networks must be eradicated from the face of the Earth,” and called for international support to do so.

I strongly approve of Putin’s and President Trump’s responses. We don’t need to “collect intelligence” on terrorists. We need to kill them all anywhere we can find them.

Nothing like a ‘take charge’ individual.

Keep up the fire, Donald!

[Darteaus94025]

Putin and Trump BOTH AGREE!!!

— that the earth is round.

[Sacajaweau]

Common sense prevails...

I'm sure the Dems will maul this like a lion downing a gazelle..

Meanwhile...in Benghazi...

and Obama is doing the same thing as always , hangs the “Gone Golfing” sign

[henkster]

If I recall correctly, the international response to terror has long been the openly stated policy of the Kremlin. And we have ignored the calls. Of course, it may be difficult to reach consensus with the Kremlin on what constitutes “terror.” But having the United States cooperate with Russia on combating it is a heck of a lot better than supporting it as we have been for the past eight years.

I strongly approve of Trump and Putin working together on issues of mutual interest, where doing so will actually help stabilize a highly destabilized region. Constructive engagements such as these can actually help, over time, to create a framework that can be useful in other, unassociated, areas.

WHat do you think will happen when President Trump finds out that it was our very own CIA behind these attacks in their effort to bring about World Government.???

[DouglasKC]

Who wouldn’t agree that terrorists and terrorism must be eradicated?

[Blue Jays]

Absolutely. We don't want crazed jihadists running around killing innocents.
Russia also doesn't want crazed jihadists running around killing innocents.
On that much we agree and should work in concert to eradicate the problem.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“Who wouldn’t agree that terrorists and terrorism must be eradicated?”

Obama, Hillary and Bill, Kerry, The American Left, Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande, The Democrat Party, The Hollywood Elite, Silicon Valley, Bill DeBlasio, Michael Moore, Jerry Brown, Rahm Emanuel, Oprah Winfrey...shall I go on?

[Steve_Seattle]

So, correctly attributing these attacks to Islamic terrorism, and taking steps to prevent further attacks, puts him "in tune" with Putin? It also puts him "in tune" with the average person in Europe and the US.

What's really the story is that it doesn't put him "in tune" with Obama and Merkel. But, no matter, use ANYTHING to associate Trump with Putin; the media INSTINCTIVELY know their marching orders.

The media have learned nothing; they are doubling down in an almost psychotic manner.

[Blue Jays]

It would be truly unfortunate news if we ever learned this violence was CIA-sponsored to create instability prior to President Trump taking office.

[sarasota]

The media IS psychotic. You should have heard CNN turn these attacks on Trump for not trusting the CIA. The spin has become laughable.

[Steve_Seattle]

"It would be truly unfortunate news if we ever learned this violence was CIA-sponsored to create instability prior to President Trump taking office."

I don't think the CIA would do anything to suggest that current (Obama/EU) anti-terrorism efforts aren't working.

[Blue Jays]

eyeamok, this was likely intended for you.

[ari-freedom]

I am sure Trump knows everything that is really going on. Flynn used to work for Obama and he has connections

[Pollster1]

Not having a terrorist in our White House will be a big step in the right direction.

[jazminerose]

I’m not a historian, but weren’t the Russians our allies during WWII?

I just don’t see he problem when two powerful countries share the common goal of obliterating radical Islam.

When Russia was still the Soviet Union, Libs loved the place.
