MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday it had thwarted terrorism attacks reportedly planned in St. Petersburg thanks to a tip from Washington, bringing personal thanks again from President Vladimir Putin to his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump.

Russian news agencies cited the Federal Security Service (FSB) as saying that thanks to the information, two Russians were detained on Dec. 27 on suspicion of plotting attacks during New Year festivities in St. Petersburg.

The Kremlin said Putin passed on his gratitude to Trump during a phone call on Sunday for the tip from U.S. special services. It gave no more details.

Of course there will be a whistle blower who was uncomfortable with the successful thwarting of terrorist attacks in Russia.

Barack Obama refused to stand with other world leaders in condemning terrorist attacks, specifically the murder of staffers at Charlie Hebdo. Barack said that those people provoked the attack by insulting Mohammed.

Same stance Barack had when the FBI parked outside the “Draw Mohammed’ contest in Texas and didn’t notify the organizers of the very real plot to kill the sponsors of the event. Good thing the organizers had their own security detail on hand who neutralized the threat by shooting the attackers dead.

Barack Obama stood with terrorists (and was mentored into politics by the Pentagon bomber).

Al Reuters can’t seem to realize that fighting terrorism isn’t “collusion”.

“Dems will demand the entire transcript of this phone call”

No, they will find a whistleblower to testify what was really meant by this phone call. He won’t have actually heard it but that doesn’t matter.

When the FBI was thwarting terrorist attacks by the Weathermen we were told it was a “civil rights violation”.
