Russian President Vladimir Putin said the West should stop inventing "fictional threats" from Russia and instead focus on defeating terrorism together.
"We need to think about what we want from the future. I think we all want security, peace, safety and cooperation," Putin told France's Le Figaro Wednesday. "Therefore, we should not build up tensions or invent fictional threats from Russia, some hybrid warfare etc."
"What is the major security problem today? Terrorism. There are bombings in Europe, in Paris, in Russia, in Belgium. There is a war in the Middle East. This is the main concern. But no, let us keep speculating on the threat from Russia," he said.

Putin: West Should Stop 'Inventing Fictional Threats From Russia' And Work Together to Defeat Terrorism
Ping...
Putin knows this is just a cover for Hillary getting her lunch handed to her on 04/08/2016.
He’s right about terrorism too.
Right about terrorism but make no mistake Putin Mr. KGB murder is not the friend of the US.
Well - he obviously sees things more clearly than 66 million US democrats!
I have wondered many times if this ‘meme’ of Russia, Russia, Russia was to keep Putin and Trump from meeting and talking and working together...
Putin is for his Country and his people as is President Trump, they are having a hard time financially from what I read, so are we, thanks to Zero for what he did...
Comments???
Weird thing I trust an ex KGB agent (Putin) more than I trust the fake news media aka propaganda news. Hell, was Russian media this bad with their propaganda back in the day?
I am leery of him too, but I do think he’s a realist and he can’t compete with us.
Give the guy his glory moment, use him where we can.
We don’t need to go the McCain, Clinton route.
Letting the other side have some respect doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It allows them to look decent at home, and it makes them less likely to be angry and want to go to war with you.
You just have to be firm when it’s called for.
Trump isn’t Obama.
From what I hear from the ‘old timers’ that knew what was going on, I guess it was...
But Mark Stein said today that each time a Republican wins the White House, the loonylibs have always said it wasn’t legal, that they got cheated out of votes, blah, blah...
So I think they just are flapping their jaws...I don’t believe anything unless I hear it out of President Trump’s mouth...NOTHING!!!
He’s right!!!!
Don’t be so fast in heaping praises on Putin. He’s been handed a tool of manipulation by the progressives. Anytime he mentions this it just fuels the speculation.
Agree with you on all of this. Keep him at arms length. Some will not call him by what he is a murderous dictator that would slash you threat and smile if you are an in country political enemy.
Some have fantasies of support and adoration for this thug. You I definitely do not see that in you
Slash your throats not threat.....damn iPhone
Neither are Obama and Hillary Clinton.
And they are probably more of an immediate danger to our way of life than is Putin.
We don't have to consider Putin a bosom buddy to stop tweaking his tail and cooperate on the annihilation of muslim terrorists.
After all, Franklyn Roosevelt cooperated with mass murderer Josef Stalin to defeat a common enemy.
I agree most definitely

>> “ I do think hes a realist and he cant compete with us.” <<
In some areas, unfortunately, he may beat us.
How much US military equipment is properly hardened against EMP damage? (and why not?)
Russia is prepared.
.
I don’t heap praise on him.
I see him for exactly what he is.
He’s very problematic. If we can use him, fine.
I’d rather have him involved with us doing something good, than making statements in the international arena defying us to do things against Syria and the like.
If we can get him to go after ISIS with us and agree or acquiesce to arm the Kurds, what’s not to like?
“I have wondered many times if this meme of Russia, Russia, Russia was to keep Putin and Trump from meeting and talking and working together...”
Bingo. Exactly right.
Thanks. I got your meaning.
No, I do see some serious problems with Putin.
I’m not in the tank for him by any means.
I defend him at times, and I criticize him at times.
It’s depends what he’s up to.
He didn’t give us much grief when we attacked Syria after the gas incident. He’s not totally belligerent towards us.
