Those clowns loved Putin, a man they formerly loathed, because he did. What will they do?

(99,711 posts)WARSAW -- Speaking only about 700 miles from Moscow and just a day before his first encounter with Vladimir Putin, President Trump on Thursday criticized what he called Russia's "destabilizing behavior," and said the U.S. remained committed to deterring conflict in Europe.
In the strongest terms he has used to date, Mr. Trump called on Russia to halt its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere. He also called on Moscow to drop its support for "hostile regimes" in Syria and Iran. Mr. Trump then extended an invite to Russia to join the community of responsible nations to defend against terrorism -- a line which may resonate with Putin, who has long suggested interest in partnering with the U.S. to fight extremism in places like Syria.

The speech, written by someone else, had some mild rebukes.
When Trump himself speaks, he continues to show Putin the love.

Vlad will be rewarded with the lifting of sanctions.
