BTW, This Has Probably Put A Wrench In What Putin Had Planned To Do Next... [View all]
All of this has definitely put a wrench in what Putin had planned to do next. Which was to either...
A) "Swap" Edward Snowden in exchange for lifting sanctions against Russia over the invasion of Crimea (something both Trump and Putin were planning to do anyway, without any reciprocation), or...
B) Make it look like 'master negotiator Trump' had DEMANDED that Putin expedite Snowden to the U.S., and Putin did it because he was terrified of Trump. Thus proving that Trump can't possibly be his puppet.
In either case, watch out for Snowden to be the next shiny object intended to distract us.
