GOP senator warns Trump: Putin, Kim 'very cold-blooded, calculating'

Source: The Hill

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on Sunday urged President Trump to exercise caution during his upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "very cold-blooded [and] calculating."

"I think it's fine to talk to the Russians, but the president should clearly understand that neither the Russians nor dictators like Kim Jong Un are going to be charmed by anybody," Blunt said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"They are very cold-blooded, calculating," Blunt added. "Putin would be in that category."

The Trump-Putin talks will take place this month after Trump attends a summit with NATO allies.

your an idiot.......................maybe you should catch up on some books and and understand what you have been missing, maybe you should read Naomi Kline's books and Malcolm Nance's books for starters, and if you really want to know what is going on check out Robert Mueller investigation and then if that doesn't bring you up to "speed" go back through the archives of how Rachel Maddow and how she connected the dots of how you enabled and your current republican team of traitors have sat on your collective hands and haven't done anything unless you go over to the Nune's shenanigans, but figure out how to pack the courts with ideologues .

But the best part of your comments, is that your leader is going to sit down with his boss and figure out how to attack NATO.........no shit sherlock ....have you been seeing or reading what he has been doing in the last 2 years.................idiot.......and it is not fine to talk to a crime family that throws journalists off buildings and murders opposition leaders..............and you finally said that Putin should be put in that category..................................

But nope you sat in the chamber and and on committees and have not utter one word ........................why because your feckless, and you party is full of shit........................and then you go on the Meet the Press aboutisuim show and make a laughing stock out of yourself and the moderator, and you are making over $174,000 and he is making over a million a year to come up with your words of wisdom, and not one word about security of the ballot box..................like this year having paper ballots........................nope.............................. .


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough..............................vote

Trump is playing on Putin's team, because he sees it as a winning team, and probably also because Putin has bailed him out financially and he owes him big time.
