Russian President Vladimir Putin called U.S. President Donald Trump Sunday to thank him for a CIA tip that helped thwart a series of bombings in St. Petersburg, the Kremlin said.

Putin expressed gratitude during the call for information provided by the CIA that allowed Russia's top domestic security agency to track down and arrest a group of suspects that was planning to bomb Kazan Cathedral and other crowded sites, the Kremlin said.

It's good to know that Trump and Putin are communicating directly and that the US and Russia are sharing intelligence info. IIRC, Russia gave us a heads-up on the Tsarnaev brothers prior to the Boston marathon attack, even though we didn't heed it satisfactorily.

If we had listened to the Russians before the Boston Marathon Bombing we could have saved American lives.

Other than germany and france which democrats seem to think is the gols standard for all world opinion, I often wonder what real leaders who have actually dealt with him really think of him. I am convinced all of trumps comments and tweets are his way of pointing the laser pointer to keep reporters hysterically spewing hyperbole about minutea while behind the scenes he quietly does the work of the american people

Yes! Lack of Russia-United States collusion caused the Boston bombings.

I forget. Did Obama call to thank Putin for tipping him off about those pesky Boston bombers?

If this were Obama, he would have let the terrorists strike because Russia didn’t accept Obama’s homosexual lifestyle foreign policy.

” I am convinced all of trumps comments and tweets are his way of pointing the laser pointer to keep reporters hysterically spewing hyperbole about minutea while behind the scenes he quietly does the work of the american people”

That’s my thinking as well. The media think Trump is a bumbling idiot. He made it in business. He made it to the presidency with all of the media against him. Every time he opened his mouth or typed a Tweet the media went into hysterics and gave him moor coverage than a major country could pay for. He is a genius.

LOL - nope the American “Intelligence Services’ knew they were soooooooo much smarter than the Russians that they chose to ignored the warnings... Then all puffed up with their own superiority, they got back to work on their REAL JOB: spying on American Conservatives. (forerunners to Lois Lerner)

And Obama? He play golf.

The really GOOD thing about this is the gold standard treatment given to captured terrorists by the Russian.

That is, if any survive. Which seems to be a little lacking.
