“And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences was a few things that were very unusual,” she said.

“You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. soil here. And that left the media scrambling to get their headsets in. Usually, it is the leader of the country — the host country of a summit that speaks first and addresses. Putin started off in Russian. And we all had to get our heads set on and listen to him rattle off the diatribe about the history of the U.S. and Russia.”

    Remember when the US made it’s entire identity to be one of opposing Russia and it’s allies?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      I remember Americans bombing my country and sending in death squads to murder my countrymen, all to keep Russia out of this hemisphere. Now those same Americans suck Putin cock

    He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.

      Nah, I genuinely think this is just the sea change of the Grand Old Fascists dropping Trump. Mainstream talk has been ramping up about how old he is with no apparent pushback. And now they’re testing out actively criticizing him to their fanatics.

    Yes, that’s exactly what happened here.

      Putin is in the catbird seat, and everyone knows it, so he is going to take fullest advantage of that to get his way with the US.

    Well realistically since Trump is a puppet of Russia, Russia now controls the U.S., so yes, the true leader of the U.S. did address his people first.

    This all checks out. America voted in a Russian puppet, who has systematically destroyed everything great about the nation relations it once has in the western hemisphere.

    Surprisingly one of the countries coming out ahead in all of this is…Russia.

    Go figure.

      The funny thing is that we’ve laid the groundwork for decades. Systematically destroying safeguards and social programs as capitalism was pushed as the new national religion. Everything was set up for a tyrant to sweep in and knock everything down.

      Fox “News” have been a driving force behind the US surrender to Russia from day one. She’s getting in big trouble.

    It’s funny how her voice gets higher pitched when she switches from actual reporting to making excuses for Trump.

      you’re forgetting that POTUS47 and Murdoch fell out, so this could be a deliberate piece of honest journalism done by Fox. She could be thrown under the bus at later date, but this bears marks of a planned attack on higher level.

        Yeah for sure quite possible, Murdoch still has Fox toeing the line for Trump must of the time though in contrast to the WSJ.

      I say a month. A week when she’s not on any broadcasts for insert reason here, some conversation will happen but she’s still working for Fox so all of us are “overreacting conspiracy”, a month later when no one is talking about it she’s given the boot.

    Driving in the car with Trump, now this, including the start in Russian. Is this not a bit too much to be believable?

    Putin doesn’t own Trump. The USA have cut off Iran from Russia. If anything this could be to compensate Putin for the humiliation in the Caucasus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia–Azerbaijan_peace_agreement

    But it is too much, so that it doesn’t flatter but mock. So why do they do it? Flooding the zone doesn’t help Putin.
