Russia will develop, not use, nuclear weapons: Vladimir Putin

When questioned on Russia’s intervention in the Syrian war, Putin said there is a plan that coincides with America’s plan of working on the constitution and preparing elections that have recognised results. When Trump welcomed recent praise from Putin, Scarborough said, “Well, it’s also a person who kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries”.

Trump’s answer -“He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader”.

Look at the disaster of Ukraine today, he said, which is run by oligarchs controlled from the West who are deindustrializing the country. “As far as I know, the Turkish side has not yet issued a permit required to launch this project and make it a priority project”. A lot of stupidity.

“Apparently (the West) think they’re infallible, but when the moment comes to take some responsibility, they disappear”.

In Trump’s world view, that simplistic formulation is reason alone to accord deference and esteem to Vladimir Putin – never mind that the Russian president is an autocrat whose popularity at home rests in no small measure on having silenced critics whose views, were they allowed a public airing, might put a crimp in his approval rating. “It has not been proven that he’s killed reporters”.

Trump has earned a reputation over the past few months as someone who is willing to say outlandish, sometimes patently untrue things. I think much of what he says are lies or gross distortion of reality, ” Sanders said. Trump responded. “He’s making mincemeat out of our president”. “I have always felt that Russian Federation and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace”. “So if Putin respects me, and if Putin wants to call me brilliant and other things that he said which were, frankly, very nice, I’ll accept that, and I’ll accept that on behalf of our country, because if we get along well with Russian Federation, that’s a positive thing, not a negative thing”. That “powerful man” in Russian Federation is a former KGB spy whose regime is murdering innocent people in Ukraine and Syria. Not us bear the full cost, sometimes? You may remember the names of some of those murdered, like Alexander Litvinenko and Anna Politkovskaya, since their assassinations received major press coverage. Marco Rubio of Florida, said during an appearance Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Trump “shouldn’t be honored” by Putin’s words.

Mr. Trump was called out on the platitudes during an interview with MSNBC on Friday.

The “Putin brand” is becoming a significant factor in the presidential fight and now we see how it is being used by the most promising and tenacious candidate, Donald Trump, writes Vzglyad.

212 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney took to Twitter to point out “Important distinction: thug Putin kills journalists and opponents; our presidents kill terrorists and enemy combatants”.
