Putin thanks Trump for foiling new year attacks

[orangecrush]

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has thanked US counterpart Donald Trump for intelligence that helped foil "acts of terrorism" on Russian soil, according to a Kremlin statement.

Mr Putin and Mr Trump spoke on the phone on Sunday, it said.

The Kremlin said the information came via intelligence services, but it provided no further details.

Russian media is reporting the discovery of a plot to attack St Petersburg over the new year period.

Tass news agency says two Russian nationals have been arrested and plans to attack a mass gathering were seized, according to a spokesperson from the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency.

Mr Putin and Mr Trump have spoken on the phone and in person various times since the latter took office.

Now the real question, of course -

What other intelligence does he share?

Literally turns my stomach.

2. My bullshit detector went off on this article

I seriously doubt Putin thanked mf45 , more like “ I need your help getting impeachment off the news please help”. “Ok puppet says pooty I tell your fox tv base this bs to help you.”.

And why the hell is mf45 even talking to Putin while he’s in mar a lago. I bet he’s got a private channel there with him by calling from one of those Russian yachts moored there now.

3. I thought the US intelligence community was shitty

and can't be trusted and are part of the Deep State blah blah blah.

6. Yeah, what's up with that? Oh, yeah, they're only bad when it does something Trump doesn't like.

4. "plot to attack St Petersburg"

could be nothing more than a planned demonstration against Czar Vlad. Autocrats love to brand their opposition "terrorists."

Does Navalny have friends in St. Pete whose names may have been lifted from a news story?

Dumpy is a big hero now, right?

5. they could have been our assets that were picked up. n/t

[moondust]

7. Yes.

Remember the U.S. had an asset in the Kremlin who had to be evacuated because "U.S. intelligence officials became worried he would be unveiled after President Donald Trump discussed highly classified intelligence with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and then-Russian ambassador to Washington Sergey Kislyak in May 2017."
