Allegations of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s election campaign were “invented” by Trump's opponents, Vladimir Putin said Thursday while praising the president's “serious achievements” in office.
“All of this has been invented, made up by people who are in opposition to President Trump with a view to shedding a negative light on what [he] is doing,” the Russian leader said at his annual televised news conference, calling the allegations “very bizarre.”
Those behind the claims are trying to “impede” Trump’s agenda and are damaging the U.S. political system by failing to respect voters who chose the president, he added.

Putin is not America’s enemy. The Democrats and the rest 9of the lib/commies are. I always thought the Crimea belonged to Russia anyway!
Yep, It will be hard to forgive the democrats for this level of disloyalty to America itself. It was an unwritten law that we just accept the results of an election. Al Gore changed all that and America has been at a loss ever since.
And the “investigation” into collusion has already moved on - at least it’s obvious if you believe body language can tell you anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56pZkXXqWsA
I never imaged that American politicians would be a bigger threat to me than the Russians. Maybe this was always the case but its never been so blatant.
They indoctrinated generations of Americans decades ago. Now they just have to sit back and laugh.
Their work is done.
You said it perfectly, escapefromboston!
I fear the RATS, many Rinos and the LSM, whose true allegiances and intentions are exposed more and more each day.
He’s right. Amazing that you have to be outside the country to see what a witch hunt this all is.
Rot is starting to look discouraged and troubled. He should be.
indeed.
time to end all investigations of the election...President Trump and the American people who voted for him won it fair and square.
FakeNewsMSM - time to banish the word “collusion” altogether - the only collusion was between Donald Trump and those Americans who voted for him.
He is America’s enemy and he is making these comments to keep the Democrats energized against Trump.
It’s Russian psyops that has been setting American against American- and obviously the European Union’s been doing the same thing, though for different reasons, which is how we ended up with a guy “formerly” from MI6 involved in this, and that big resignation across the pond. Not that the radical left and the so called anticapitalist “right” aren’t helping the EU and Putin with the task. ...
Remember Pootie Poot and George Bush looking into Pootie’s eyes to see his “soul.” Then Obama comes along and they get flexible, as in Obama and Hillary seeing his “soul” in exchange for some scratch.
...
For me, Putin has more credibility than Schumer, Pelosi or Obuma. Let’s wait and see if the usual 50 IQ, Soros-paid trolls show up.
Yes, Mueller is using his power to stretch matters into anything Trump or his team may have done illegal in their entire lives. He is a Clinton Foundation puke like the rest.
Putin isn’t my enemy.
Now the left will say this is proof Russia and Trump did cheat to win! Because the left is dumb like that.
There was a time when Russians were a major threat to us. But, when President Reagan called the Soviet Union an “evil empire”, he was talking about Soviet Communism and its globalist ideology.
The threat was disappearing when Reagan stood in front of the Kremlin with Gorbachev and was asked, “Do you still think this is an evil empire?”
“No,” Reagan replied. “That was a different era.”
And it truly was a different era. The threat from Soviet Communism ended when the Berlin wall came down.
Today, the Russians aren’t communists. They are not globalists. They are also not a Jeffersonian Democracy. So political opposition in Russia is a dangerous game.
They do not have freedom like we have freedom. Putin is, as Bill OReilly said, a “killer”. As has been every leader of that country since before we can remember.
We are talking about Russia. Russia! That country has a thousand year history and their history does not include a tradition of respect for rights.
So, they are not perfect. They are just Russia. We don’t need to be enemies. In fact, we can be friends so long as we understand them far better than establishment elites understand them now.
Think of Russia as your buddy that you have to bail out of jail every now and then. He does some things you don’t like. You would not ask him to babysit your kids. But he’s still your buddy, sometimes a really good friend who is there for you when you need him.
Wisely, you keep an eye on him and you give him a stern look on rare occasion only when needed. It’s not fun, but necessary. It only takes a few minutes for the message to get across, and suddenly you are good friends again.
I think we have a President who understands this, thankfully.
I agree with Putin about his comments. He’s surely laughing at Americans that they’re buying a narrative that’s tearing the country apart. Our own actions keep us weak, which is good for our competitors Russia and China.
Now, they cannot stand the thought of the US being on reasonable terms with Russia, when they are not enemies in any ordinary sense of the word, but rather simply rivals. Occasional indicators of mutual respect between Trump and Putin are triggers for snowflake-like meltdowns in the media.
What a world.
I think you hit on a key word: “competitors.”
Your competitor isn’t necessarily your enemy. You can respect each other, watch what each other does, maybe learn something. Maybe you can do an occasional deal together if there’s something to be gained for both sides.
I don’t trust Putin because he’s a Russian nationalist who will do whatever it takes to advance Mother Russia. But I also respect him for that very same reason.
Trump and Putin are the two toughest hombres among world leaders today — and I believe they will respect each other given time.
I certainly have more respect for Putin, Lavrov and other Russian patriots, than anyone in our traitorous Deep State.
The good news is that only Americans can defeat America. The bad news is that Washington is swarming with traitors and crooks who would be only too happy to see our great nation destroyed, as long as they can line their pockets in the process.
Pray for our great president and all patriots.
