They’re Disappointed Because President Trump Did Not “Shirtfront” President Putin

Presidents Putin and Trump met for about two hours in Helsinki, Finland. It was a cordial and cooperative meeting. But the MSM and their followers wanted Trump to ‘draw blood.‘ With the World Cup over, they wanted a “Shirtfronting” — as Tony Abbott had promised, but failed to deliver, back in 2014.

CNN’s Editor-at-large, Chris Cillizza, called it Trump’s “disastrous and shameful performance.” He wrote:

“President Donald Trump had a golden opportunity on Monday to stare down Russian President Vladimir Putin…” 

And Australia’s ABC writes:

“Donald Trump returns to US to face bipartisan condemnation after standing by Vladimir Putin and Russia”

Even though Trump has been “slammed” by the MSM, he’s getting tens of thousands of Likes for each Tweet.

It seems that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s announcement of indicting 12 Russian intelligence officers (for conspiring to interfere in the 2016 election), a few days ago, was deliciously timed to put a spanner in US-Russia relations. But Trump made sure that it didn’t, saying:

“I would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace than to risk peace in pursuit of politics.”

And then tweeting:

“…in order to build a brighter future…  as the world’s two largest nuclear powers, we must get along!”

President Putin summed up the importance of good relations in his opening:

“The era of acute ideological confrontation of the two countries is a thing of the remote past… The situation of the world changed dramatically. Today both Russia and the United States face a whole new set of challenges. Those include a dangerous maladjustment of mechanisms for maintaining international security and stability, regional crises, the creeping threat of terrorism and transnational crime. It’s the snowballing problems in the economy, environmental risks and other sets of challenges. We can only cope with these challenges if we join the ranks and work together.”

Putin added:

“We believe it necessary to work together further to interact on the disarmament agenda, military and technical cooperation.”

These two leaders clearly don’t want war. So who does? Was this a message to the Military Industrial Complex? To continue, Putin said:

“We paid more attention to economic ties and economic cooperation.”

And on the alleged interference of Russia in the American elections:

“Any specific material, if such things arise, we are ready to analyze together. For instance, we can analyze them through the joint working group on cyber security…”

But now, Rand Paul on “Meddling with Elections.” (Paul starts around 6:00 minutes after David’s Knight’s introduction.)

    • Ephesians 6:12
      “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

  1. Listen up, Pollies:

    I am in Honolulu. I asked the bus dispatcher, “Which bus do I take to Ala Moana to visit Tulsi Gabbard?”

    Say he: “Tulsi is a sweetheart. She is young. She is a veteran. And she works hard. She is the best thing that ever happened to this state. We are all excited about her.”

    But when I got there I learned she had to hop over to “DC” today to cast a vote. Imagine, a 10 hour flight just to tick a box.

    Eat your heart out, Aussiemal.

  2. Globalism is diversity and exploitation of labour for the survival of the greediest. In simple terms it is the worship of evol.

    Nationalism is the preservation of culture and family unity. In essence it is love. Faith in a Heavenly Father and the Creator of all things seen and unseen.

    Trump and Putin are reading scripts written by the globalist puppeteers . Just like liberal and labor party (libore) they change roles to the situation presented. They both represent the military industrial. Two sides of the same coin.

    • Which faction of the globalists wrote the speeches… I’d guess they are probably in a tussle at the moment.

  3. The truth, easily accessed if one shops around beyond the official media and pollyspeak, is that the USA intelligence system is hopelessly corrupt from the top down.

    The CIA is the world’s biggest illegal drugs trader, controlling 90% of the heroin entering Europe (publicly acknowledged by at least two EU leaders of government) and a primary source of assassination units. Moreover, around 60% of its resources are devoted to undermining democracy and national sovereignty in every country in the world. The DEA is complicit in its drug crimes, especially coccaine.

    None of this would be possible if the FBI was doing its purported job. The FBI protects corrupt politicians, eliminates unwanted competition for the CIA/DEA drugs market, and the number of assassinations attributed to this ‘intel arm of the law’, are legend.

    This is the intelligence system Trump now disingenuously claims he trusts.

    The reality is that, confronted by the evidence presented by Putin, Trump was so knocked back he lost sight of the propaganda games. And games they are… fabrications, half-truths, and blatant lies, cast like chicken feed to an American public which registers 39th on the global literacy scale, and which long ago forsook evidence for belief.

    That same belief-orientated sector in Australia was last estimated as 31% but this has been undergoing a transition, from the exclusively uneducated sector to the highly educated, which can be observed any day of the week by watching The Drum, Four Corners, Q&A, or any ABC news and current events analysis.

    This ‘Intelligentsia’ has been educated (brainwashed/indoctrinated in universities) to believe in the ascendancy of the elite (ruling class, aristocracy, professionals) and in free trade ideology. But as the intensely proselytised and predicted economic outcomes of free trade are increasingly in conflict with easily observed social conditions, the only acceptable conclusion to be drawn by the Intelligentsia is that all critics are liars. Worse, they are obviously the agents of evil entities bent on destroying our “Great era of national prosperity”; which is simultaneously in shocking conflict with real unemployment and homelessness.

    As Putin is the only politician of above average intelligence and ability standing on the world stage, he is the perfect and most convenient personifaction of “evil entity”.

    This clearly mirrors the opinion of the ABC’s Virginia Trioli, and sports presenter Paul Kennedy (whose knowledge of geopolitics could be spread thinly across the head of an unusually tiny pin); and prizes for political hysteria should be presented to Philip Williams, Joe O’Brien, and Stephanie March. This is pure theatrics… political comedy/drama for the rusted-on ‘free world’ devotees.

    And, yes, these cerebral pygmies are still referring to Trump as ‘the leader of the free world’… supreme commander of a government that has invaded 57 sovereign nations since WWII.

  4. Too bad Deep State. It looks like the adults have taken over running the world.

    You’ll have a lot of explaining to do, trying to explain how you messed up the planet without a war to blame it on.
