Despite the widespread conclusion that Vladimir Putin’s regime was behind the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia last year, the US president is said to have spent 10 minutes expressing his doubts about Russian involvement.

......

According to the Washington Post, Trump “harangued” May about Britain’s contribution to Nato in a phone call with Britain’s then prime minister in the summer of last year, before disputing Russian involvement in the Skripal case.

“Trump totally bought into the idea there was credible doubt about the poisoning,” said a figure briefed on the call. “A solid 10 minutes of the conversation is spent with May saying it’s highly likely and him saying he’s not sure.”

The Skripals were left fighting for their livesafter the novichok attack in Salisbury, while a policeman was also left seriously ill. A second policeman was recently discovered to have been injured in the attack.He

1. Putin can do no wrong.

In fact, a dictator can do no wrong

2. Did Hillary do that, too?

Or was it Obama, with the help of the Deep State?

3. Hillary & Obama conspired with the Deep State to do it

Just like they always do.

4. There was a homeless couple nearby-- he picked up an unopened package that looked discarded--

perfume, I think-- and took it to his lady as a gift.

She opened it and sprayed on the perfume. She collapsed almost immediately, and he was also gravely ill but saved by an antidote.

It was supposed that the Russian poisoners had done this perfume poison as some kind of experiment, and thrown it away, probably just so someone would pick it up and be killed.

When Trump excuses Putin for this, I wish he would have to sit with Charlie Rowley and hear him talk about what it was like to lose his beloved in such a horrible way, and to know that it was careless viciousness (the type Trump likes) that caused this.

5. He does not realize (or, care) that saying things like that are basically the same as saying:

"you know those intelligence and security services you rely on to keep your country safe?... Fuck them. Fuck them right in the ear. They're garbage. Morons. Losers."

So... not exactly what you should be saying when you're asking the other person to do stuff you want during the same convo.
