Washington Post: Trump shares a "very nice" Christmas Letter from Putin

A nice letter from Comrade Putin, beloved leader of fraternal Russia, to his favorite poodle:

President-elect Donald Trump, whose expressed admiration of Vladimir Putin has stirred controversy, released a letter Friday from the Russian leader in which Putin offers his “warmest” Christmas greetings and seeks to restore cooperation with the United States.
“A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct,” Trump said in a statement regarding the Dec. 15 letter. “I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path.”

First he defeats Clinton, then he subtly but unmistakeably exposes Trump as his lapdog. The effect is to leave both American "democracy" and its "leadership" of the free world completely discredited and in shambles. This is the opening gambit of a new Cold War.
