Putin touts downfall of US as a global leader: 'It's almost done'

Putin touts downfall of US as a global leader: ‘It’s almost done’

More from the article.

Luckily this monopoly is disappearing,” he added. “It’s almost done.”

And Russia’s time has come, he said, claiming that America’s downfall meant that Russia had an opportunity to establish itself as a major player on the global stage.


This is why I find it funny when people say, "See Trump & Putin arent friends."

No shit Sherlock! Would a KGB agent actually be "friends" with one of his Mark's? No, they use them until they have no use for them.

Donald Trump in the past 2 years has put NATo on shaky ground against the very entity is was created for. Aggression from Russia.

He has hugged and said that he loves dictators. He's talked about how the press is the enemy as a respected Journalist was being tortured and murdered. Thereby putting our old and firm allies scratching their heads.

Now, he has put the entire Middle East into turmoil. Yep, you read that correct. The Middle East is in turmoil because of Donald Trump.

He has put the United States which normally is the clear cut leader in democracy (even the dirty parts) and director of the world. He has given this up in his Nationalistic policy of not giving a shit about the rest of the world.

Guess who now gets to slip in and say, "Yea, your old boyfriend sure was an asshole." "Would you like to come over to my house and look at the weapons we have for sale?" That's right, the old KGB agent who played Trump like a . . . Well like a carefully groomed agent.

Dont get me wrong, I love Russia, I love the majority of their people, their food and history. The fact is, this is a country who is run by an old school KGB officer that shoots down civilian airliners and basically says, "And?"

Thankfully, unlike Russia we get to throw out our trash every 4 years.
