Last month US Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is conducting a widespread probe into Russia’s role in the campaign, indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies for allegedly backing Trump, maligning Clinton, and engaging in other election interference.
“So what if they’re Russians?” Putin said of the allegations, according to transcripts of the NBC interview released late Friday.
“There are 146 million Russians. So what?... I don’t care. I couldn’t care less... They do not represent the interests of the Russian state.”
Probably designed to get out a message to complement the scenario that Putin backs Iran and Iran must be dealt with in the name of Israel’s security.
In all honesty the Saudi $$$$ funding Al Qaeda jihadists (the same kind who admire Bin Laden and killed thousands on 9/11) works against Iran’s ally Assad in Syria.
Israel and Russia butt heads in Syria with conflicting interests.
The USA has done business with Saudi Arabia and Israel as key allies in the region.
There’s deeper truth to Syria than the jihadist “atrocity” “humanitarian crisis” propaganda the likes of Nikki Haley repeat with passion.
the jews or the tatars. Okay, I give up. What the hell is a tatar?
The title is intentionally misleading. It implies that Putin is singling out Jews.
*Every* country meddled in our election.
I wonder if ‘Tatar’ means ‘China’. They meddled the most.
Israel has no doubt influenced our election, but given that Barack Obama really got elbow deep in THEIR elections a few years ago, I can’t say I blame them.
Putin is a KGB thug. Russia is not our friend.
It I do like Tatars however.
I add onions and make the best hash brown tatars possible
The number 2 Mexican Presidential candidate campaigned in Los Angeles yesterday and said his first order of business if elected was to fight Don Trump on immigration.
IN LOS ANGELES. A Mexican politician trolls for votes in AMERICA and promises to try and break down the American border so his citizens can flood in and take over.
Where’s Bob Mueller? Rex Tillerson? Rodney Rosenstein?
Nowhere to be found. Hystericizing about a country that’s 8500 miles away.
One thing for damn sure, Putin knows how to troll almost as well as Trump. I bet they compare notes over a secure link the insiders trying to corral Trump can't keep him away from.
Vlad went Farrakhan.
“Interesting” is not how I’d describe the article. More like infuriating (spittle spewn rant), inarticulate (spelling & punctuation reminiscent of the writings of a 12 year old), or incoherent (opposed thoughts in the same sentence). Yahoo articles in general have become jumping platforms for the far left hate-everything types.
How far they’ve fallen into the abyss . . .
Putin is playing to his base. The average Russian is virulently anti Semitic. They blame the Jews for the Bolshevik Revolution, regicide, the suffering, deaths and cultural destruction from 1917 thru 1993.They view Putin as a vibrant, strong leader who will do what is necessary to restore Russia. Now it should be understood that the average Russian , while not stupid , is woefully ignorant regarding history. Critical historic scholarship and the subsequent education in universities, colleges and secondary schools has not occurred in Russia for the last one hundred years. It is not surprising that the leader of that country could spout such brutal nonsense seemingly indifferent to the real harm such comments cause. Nor is it surprising that he will not be challenged or criticized in any meaningful manner within Russia. He will be rightly criticized in the US, Israel and most of the West. But it is critically important to understand the real attitudes of the Russian people. Such comments do not occur in a social or cultural vacuum.
I think it may be pertinent and helpful to recall that Putin does have a keen sense of humor
he COULD be just having a little fun joshing around a bit., certainly he’s done it a number of times before...
Since when are Tartars Jews? I thought they were central Asian peoples like Turks and Mongols.
Russians are so antisemitic that Jewish Russian immigrants to my country of Israel not only fail to assimilate but joined a Nazi party-— in Israel.
