1. Well, good thing no US press heard him say that stuff!

[Zoonart]

2. To be fair...

The Post did say that it was "far worse" than was being reported and they were holding back.

[tanyev]

3. *snort*

[yardwork]

4. They're just messing with us now.

Putin's first goal in getting Trump in the White House (and making sure that Republicans won some key congressional races so the Rs control Congress) was to get those sanctions lifted so that he could resume the oil pipeline plans.

Trump is more out of control than expected, though, meaning that Congress can't lift those sanctions anytime soon.

So Putin has moved to Plan B for a while: create chaos in the U.S. and destroy global confidence in the U.S.

[Demsrule86]

5. They should print it...because it is out now anyway.

[Sanity Claws]

6. Russia is toying with Trump and the US

They want to create chaos.

[workinclasszero]

10. Putin really pulled off the biggest takedown of an adversarial government in history

with no bloodshed!

He greased the skids with $$$ and his online troll army got a incompetent traitor mole elected president with a big assist from the greed soaked, ratings hungry MSM.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Sun Tzu

[Sanity Claws]

13. Exactly

Whether we respond with impeachment or not, Russia still has won. Chaos has been created. The US is too divided and distracted to be a force on the international stage.

[workinclasszero]

20. I think its clear to every government in this world by now,

friend or foe, that Trump is dangerously incompetent at best.

And/or a Russian spy at worst.

The EU and NATO better take appropriate actions to protect themselves. They are on their own now.

I'd think long and hard before sharing intel with Donald "Loose Lips" Trump!

[tblue37]

19. Well, a number of Russians did die in suspicious circumstances. nt

[workinclasszero]

22. Things that make you go....

hmm.......

Wonder what the loan repayment details are for Trump's Putin/Russian mob loans?

[bigbrother05]

24. Don't think even Putin expected to be so successful

He hoped to create so much discord that HRC would have an unmanageable Congress and be ineffective in the WH. That added to the GOP's voter suppression and Comey's ambush in the last week put the election close enough for the deplorable to swing it to the Chump.

[workinclasszero]

25. Oh he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams no doubt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. It's NOT taken down, but it is very unstable. Quite a coup, all the same. . . . nt

[workinclasszero]

31. Since Dump was installed as so called President

It been complete chaos in our government every damn day! The on the job training for pussy grabber ain't workin out!

The "leader of the free world" is a fucking idiot and everybody knows it, friend or foe!

HUGE win for Putin, no doubt about it.

[bdamomma]

26. Putin wants to break up the US

the way the USSR was. Putin is not a stupid man he has a plan.

[roamer65]

33. Yes. Just for revenge.

[Madam45for2923]

7. I posted too. Will delete.

[Madam45for2923]

8. Interesting that first they said it was fake and now they are saying this.

Russian news lie a lot -so who knows.

[Sunlei]

9. thousands of IS fighters are home grown IN Russia. IMO, IS terrorists are Ru$$ian backed.

[jeanmarc]

11. C'mon Putin, let's see the urine show

You want to disrupt, that would disrupt.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Our president. Either a complete fucking idiot, or a traitor.

Maybe it's time to stop giving fucking idiots a pass?

[spanone]

14. it's a sad day in america when the russians appear more forthcoming than the white house

[TheBlackAdder]

15. The Russians were putting out their own bullshit lies too, before this revelation.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. so he didn't - until he did - but at this point every possibility has been reported at the same time

Bizzarro (second time I've used that word in 30 seconds here at DU this morning). Won't be the last.

[Botany]

17. But what about Hillary's emails?

No doubt Chaffetz, Gowdy, and McConnell will hold hearings into this.

[gordianot]

18. If they really wanted to play with Donald they would have denied the whole incident.

Playing Donald like a Nickelodeon.

[beastie boy]

21. Read the original. All TASS is doing is cite WP

They don't independently confirm or deny anything.

[bettyellen]

27. They do with Putins stamp of approval or not at all.

[beastie boy]

29. Ok, so we get nothing new out of TASS with Putin's approval...

Should we read anything into it?

[bettyellen]

30. Just that they're being blatant about how Trump is helping them- it's great PR for Putin

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Opening the door

to foreign invasion with no resistance

[roamer65]

34. Like the 1987 mini -series "Amerika".

[not fooled]

35. Who needs a foreign invasion?

Just hasten the destruction of the U.S. from within.

Lord knows faux, flush et al. sowed the seeds of discord and divisiveness long ago. Putin was simply able to piggyback on what those RW MFers and their billionaire backers started.

[Oneironaut]

32. While probably true, Russian news isn't exactly trustworthy.

There could've ulterior motives for getting this information out, such as trying to sow chaos in the US.
