Haha Putin is the master troller. He knows America is fucked if trump becomes president

[xistingme]

You know just mocking their desire for peace by calling it a bromance is part of the problem we all face now in society. The freedom for people to act like sarcastic jerks weighs heavy on everyone

[IblewuponyourfaceIII]

It's ridiculous that CNN actually let's their newreporters say "bromance" how unprofessional LOL

[seeingatruth]

Only CNN calls it a circus because they're losing.

[MiguelDeZayas]

it'll be good to have Russia on a our side

[lafavini]

When you enemy says you are brilliant, that means he truly thinks you are stupid and he his delighted to see you elected as a leader. There will no competition there in his mind. it is like playing poker, you always encourage the fish to keep playing the way they do.

Just out of curiosity, who is the political figure Putin got scared of and jailed?

[najibtaibi]

At least she is honest, she recognizes that Kasparov is irrelevant in Russia. I wasn't expecting that from a CNN journalist.

[CrucialConflict.]

Too bad Hugo Chavez died, or else he would of join them and assemble the perfect trio. The 3 stooges!

[arsir]

translation of putins speech is wrong (i know russian)

[dropndeuces]

Why struggle against world superpowers when we can work together. If the media talks them down I instantly fall in love

[amptrascope]

A career politician putting Biden down over being a career politician.

[needparalegal]

Its even more satisfying for Americans. Trump actually tells the truth. I have never seen that from an American politician, at least not one that wasn't shot by a CIA agent...

[samkeyho]

Putin was very clear about his point that he doesn't interfere in other countries internal affairs and it's upto American people.
