(1) Let's examine what @realDonaldTrump and Putin ACTUALLY said.
(2) Putin: "Where did you get this idea that President Trump trusts me or I trust him? He defends the interests of the United States of America, and I do defend the interests of the Russian Federation."
(3) THAT is Putin saying, "Trump is on to me. Unlike Blubberin' George Bush and Flim-Flam Flobama." Putin FULLY EXPECTS us to smash him if he gets out of line. After all, it isn't PUTIN who will die.
(4) I know he won't answer, but I'd like @JohnBrennan to address THIS:
(5) On February 7, 2018, a Russian assault battalion armed with main battle tanks and heavy artillery attacked an American post at Deir Ezzor, Syria.
(6) We used the "deconfliction line" to call the Russians and say, "Call off your men." The Russians replied, "Those aren't our men.
They're MERCENARIES From the Wagner Group. We have no control over them."
(7) This is a lie. They use us the Wagner Group to send active-duty military to Syria. They're called "ghost soldiers." 
(8) BUT!
We needed the Russians to say, "Those aren't our men."
That gave us the green light.
Secretary of Defense Mattis.
(9) So the Russian assault battalion was hit with fixed-wing fighter bombers, Apache helicopter gunships, US Marine Corps precision artillery, AC-130 gunships, and B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers.
(10) The AC-130 gunships flew 1500 miles from Djibouti, and the B-52s flew 100 miles from Qatar.
(11) IT WAS A TRAP.
We set up the Russians.
The assault battalion suffered 100 percent casualties.
Of the 550 men, 200-300 were killed, and 200-300 were wounded.
(12) The few survivors said, "They knew we were coming." There was no Russian air support, because Judas goats convinced the Russians that our 40 commandos would flee.
(13) The end of a Russian tank.

(14) The tank fires its main gun.
