'Trump is ours again!' Russian TV host celebrates after White House refuses to enforce new sanctions

Last edited Wed Jan 31, 2018, 11:42 AM - Edit history (1)

#Russia's state TV:
Female host: "Seemingly, Trump is ours again. So far, he's being quiet and not supporting the sanctions."
Male host: "Well, it seems that way."




Russia’s state television channel seems to be happy with President Donald Trump’s decision to not enforce sanctions against Russia that were overwhelmingly approved by both houses of Congress.

Julia Davis, who runs the Russian Media Monitor website, reports via Twitter that Russian TV show host Olga Skabeeva on Tuesday was positively gushing about the White House’s decision to not enforce new sanctions against her country.

“Seemingly, Trump is ours again,” said Skabeeva, according to Davis’ translation. “So far, he’s being quiet and not supporting the sanctions.”

Co-host Evgeny Popov seemingly agreed and told her, “Well, it seems that way.”

No wonder his son voted against the Magnitsky Act and all Russian sanctions.

Ron Paul has been Russia's puppet for years. They use the same talking points and they think the only "truth" belongs to them, and have "proof" for every wack job conspiracy.

You people are mental. Taking this show seriously would be like taking Hannity seriously as a guide to what happens in the U.S. This woman Julia Davis is hoodwinking people to carve out a niche selling the narrative hysterical liberal Americans want to hear.

Thanks for posting those follow-ups.

The last one shows the deflection starting:

Except, of course, RT is completely state owned.

So the NO Vote Against RU Sanctions was actually a loyalty message to Putin. They knew their vote wouldn't alter the final vote but it sent a message to Vlad that they were his, like Trump did with his refusal to implement the sanctions.

Loyalty to Putin will be rewarded.

Ron Paul & his son have betrayed the USA. They are all "owned."
The vote against Sanctions was a message to Putin. A loyalty vote.
