Putin: West Should Stop 'Inventing Fictional Threats From Russia'
Information Liberation ^ | June 1, 2017 | Chris Menahan

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.

When our government is running the world’s most prolific assassin’s guild, pointing fingers at others on that topic just looks like obliviousness and/or hypocrisy.

The focus of Americans needs to be on cleaning house, as the reality is we really can’t accuse anyone else of having done anything we haven’t done.

Well, trying to work with him likely wouldn’t bring that about any faster.

Putin can be relied on to act in Russia’s interests. He could be reasoned with. Just don’t expect him to carry out promises. Russians seldom do. But someone who works for his own country’s interests can be dealt with carefully.

It’s very weird to be thinking that a Russian autocrat is preferable to liberals. Liberals are eternally treacherous. Even when it’s to their advantage to act honorably they won’t. Treachery is in their blood. They don’t know what the word honor means.

Vlad, we’ll give you Hillary if you house her in the basement of 2 Dzerzhinsky square.
Or lubiyanka.
Either will work.

Putin extolling Christianity in last Christmas speech. I wish our leaders spoke like this.

A Christian Russia and a Christian America would be a formidable force.

Is that what this is all about?

Just imagine if Russia decided to cause trouble, and agree with the Democrat allegations.

That happened today. Putin said, today, that Russian tech experts and patriots did interfere with the US election, but it was done independently and not state sponsored.

LOL!

You have to go back though and realize that not much of what was done was fake news. They helped expose Hillary to the electorate, in the Podesta emails and in the hack of the DNC where they were killing off Bernie from the nomination.

Of course, next time it may be our side.

I see it this way.

The liberals are dragging another country into their personal fight. They are humiliating and denigrating Russia, in order to cover their own sorry butts.

The type of person Putin is (ex kgb, all that stuff) is irrelevant. Putin is the leader of Russia and has their reputation to consider. The liberals are not thinking straight if they believe Russia will be their pasty much longer.
