Excerpts of Putin’s interview with Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times. Putin understands America better than most Americans. I would really like to see a Trump-Putin ticket in 2020. Seriously, Vlad is one helluva great leader. We could use one ……
=========================================
Interviewer: Russia has been accused, and, strange as it may seem, it is still being accused, despite the Mueller report [on the investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign], of mythical interference in the US election. What happened in reality?
Putin: Mr Trump looked into his opponents’ attitude to him and saw changes in American society, and he took advantage of this.
Interviewer: You and I are talking ahead of the G20 meeting. It is an economic forum, and it will undoubtedly have discussions on globalisation, global trade and international finance.
Putin: The middle class in the US has not benefited from globalisation . . . The Trump team sensed this very keenly and clearly and they used this in the election campaign. Has anyone ever given a thought to who actually benefited and what benefits were gained from globalisation, the development of which we have been observing and participating in over the past 25 years, since the 1990s? China has made use of globalisation, in particular, to pull millions of Chinese out of poverty.
Interviewer: What happened in the US, and how did it happen?
Putin: In the US, the leading US companies — the companies, their managers, shareholders and partners — made use of these benefits. The middle class hardly benefited from globalisation. The middle class in the US has not benefited from globalisation; it was left out when this pie was divided up.
The Trump team sensed this very keenly and clearly, and they used this in the election campaign. It is where you should look for reasons behind Trump’s victory, rather than in any alleged foreign interference. This is what we should be talking about here, including when it comes to the global economy.”
=============================
God Bless Vlad!!!
I’ve thought about writing him in in 2020. Maybe in 25 years we’ll be naming streets and traffic circles after him, like they did with Reagan. LOL
When Netan-yahoo asked Putin for permission to attack Lebanon or Syria, Putin told him to fuck off. No one in Washington would dare oppose Netan-yahoo even if he wanted to bomb New York (again).
He sure is.
Instead of wisdom, we get the Clown Show.
What Putin said is common sense.
“Common sense is not so common”. Voltaire was (and is) so correct.
Putin was right. After getting elected, Trump fired his one adviser (Bannon) who truly understands what’s going on. It will be interesting to see what bamboozling bullshit Trump promises in his 2020 run. Build the wall? Deport them all? Drain the swamp? Will people fall for it again?
Putin is a spy turned teleprompter reader who does well on TV outside the USSA.
Everything else is just embellishment.
Russia is a 3rd world backwater colony that would have went under in 1942-1943 without USSA intervention (colonial governor Harriman).
Russia has some serious conventional forces, but no force projection, and only fake nukes on paper to match the USSA fake nukes on paper.
An oldie, but a goodie:

You’re almost as stupid & ignorant as Miles Mathis. No wonder you like him.
Interesting. Without Russian intervention, America would have lost the Revolution and the South would have won the Civil War.
They also went toe to toe with us militarily on 25% of our GDP (at best).
Yes, Russia was/is Union-friendly, but I don’t recall the USSR and USSA ever squaring off or going to to toe.
Before the alien Bolsheviks staged their coup, Russia was one of the wealthiest nations in the world, with many reforms helping the common people in addition to a usury-free banking system. Also a lot of people don’t know that the US provided the Soviet communists tens of $billions in cash, loans and war materials during WWII. It’s amazing how quickly the communists bled Russia. It’s taking them a lot longer in the US.
USSA will look similar to USSR downfall, not exactly but similar. Look at the outcome 40 years later. Not many Bolsheviks left, very Christian nation, conservative, little diversity….problem there is like all third worlds no guns for the masses allows thugs. Bolsheviks never hold onto power long because they spend like drunken sailers. They do not understand math. Then, the strongest thug always takes over….every time.
If Google keeps dropping the Platform further and further down in their search engine, on purpose of course, no will come across these articles like they were.
The platform has dropped 5-6 spaces from the top in the last week……
I use Google search results for comic relief.
Tons of SJW and soft-commie links way too high in the rankings.
They hate Putin because he stopped them, he refused their game
