First article I've seen that gives the Russian perspective of the "summit" meeting.

The same commie media that said years ago that Russia was not the enemy and were good people, now call Russia the devil because there is a Republican in the White House..go back in time when the same commies in the press were laughing their asses off when Mitt Romney talked about Russia, these are the same people now who want Russia wiped off the map

1) I am not aware of any "concessions" made by Trump.
2) Why wouldn't the US want good relations with a nuclear power like Russia?

The US media wants to start WWIII. Idiots.

17 Jul: Tass: Russia ready to send request to US over questionings in Browder case
Browder donated $400,000 to US Democrats, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office says
“Within the framework of a probe into a criminal case against William Browder and his criminal group, we are ready to send another request to the US competent agencies for a possibility to question these staffers of US special services, some other public officers of the US and a number of entrepreneurs in order to later charge them with the crimes committed by Browder,” Kurennoy said.

Browder has transferred $400,000 to accounts of the US Democratic Party, Kurennoy said...

“Browder’s criminal group funneled $1.5 billion from Russia into tax havens. Of this sum, at least $400 million was transferred to the Democratic Party’s accounts. Afterwards, our president asked us to correct the sum for $400,000 from $400 million,” Kurennoi said...

by Jim Hoft
On Tuesday Russian Tass reported that Russia is ready to send a request to the US deep state over Bill Browder’s questioning.

I’m not a big fan of Putin. The question is, what is our strategy going to be?

He’s been voted in again. There’s nothing we can do about it. We can talk one on one with him, or we can shut the door and have no communications at all, like we did with China before it opened up.

I don’t think you can do that. There needs to be dialogue.

Those who fire shots at Trump would likely have to do what he’s doing right now. There are few options.

Does this mean that what Putin has done is of no consequence or was rightfully done? No

It’s just that we have to decide how to conduct business from here. I’m glad Trump and Putin are on speaking terms.

unfortunately, Gateway Pundit video left off this final comment from Putin, which was separated by the STAFF (OFF-MIKE) line in Time Mag’s transcript.
definitely the most vital comment in the exchange, even if the amount has been reduced.

STAFF: (OFF-MIKE)
QUESTION: And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
PUTIN: (THROUGH TRANSLATOR) Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal.

Great article> The Russians are great allies on the war on terrorism. Very effective Christians. Far greater than the moslems in the EU.We are moving toward a great alliance. We elected Trump, Trump sets foreign policy and he is doing fabulous.

"It’s just that we have to decide how to conduct business from here. I’m glad Trump and Putin are on speaking terms."

Ditto! It's far better to have some mindshare of these people (Putin, Rocket Man) than to have them off in orbit somewhere. If they even have the thought "what would Trump think of this?" we've made progress. Better yet, Trump gets a phone call before they do something bad.

It was 400 million RUBLES. Which is about 6.5 million DOLLARS.

That’s a realistic, grown-up point of view.

It reflects my own.

Thank you for posting it.
