Of course one should probably also add those who died in the Russian Apartment Bombings in 1999 which have been attributed to then Prime Minister Putin, who blamed Chechen terrorists (despite a complete lack of evidence to support his claim) for the attacks used to justify the Second Chechen War ... killing people appears to be a favourite pass-time of Vladimir, Vladimirovich. WTF would anyone negotiate with this creature and expect it to be in good faith???

Unfortunately, If Trump gets back in office he expects he will win his full immunity claim where he can do anything he wants and not be held accountable for his actions while he is president. Putin doesn't even get to that extreme. At least Putin tries to hide his actions a bit.. The U.S. is really turning into a wild card in regards to world order.

Putin said that he would rather deal with Biden than Trump because Biden is more predictable. Now that is REALLY saying something. Good Luck to us all ! We are going to need it...

His statement about Biden was just a bit of smoke in Putin's constant stream of lies. They are made with the intent of influencing the Russians. He would like to posture for them at this time of "election" that he is reasonable and prefers stability. Trump is of course Putin's preferred diet.

I think also, if he claims to support Biden, people who might vote for Biden might also see that as a vote for Putin, which would make them vote for Trump??

Add the assassinated Maxzim Kuzminov, the Russian helicopter pilot who defected, to the list now.

Yup, welcome to Putin's Russkiy Mire (the Putinist version of the Russkiy mir)... a dark, evil, foul smelling and inescapable bog into which the Nation is steadily sinking deeper and deeper.

Cross the Dark One, and your fate is assured..........
