Putin Says Russian Relations With U.S. Are Getting ‘Worse and Worse’

If Vladimir Putin thought helping Donald Trump get elected in 2016 would temper U.S. policy toward Russia, it seems he’s disappointed. In an interview published Thursday, the Russian president said relations between Moscow and Washington were rapidly deteriorating as the U.S. continues to impose dozens of sanctions on his country. “They [relations] are deteriorating, getting worse and worse,” Putin told the Mir TV channel, according to Reuters. Putin made his comments ahead of a G20 summit in Japan this month, where he might meet with Trump.

Come to think of it, the same people who believe wrestling storylines are the same people who will be taken in by this tale of villainy and heroism.

Putin's lying and this is a suggested threat to trump, lift sanctions or else he'll release damming stuff on trump and others. It gives trump another excuse to try and lift them for him to please putin with. trump is owned by him , and it shows. Wonder how many billions trump is in debt to them for, and what video's with women , maybe really young women he has on him. Could he have a video of a teen beauty with him from his 2013 show he had in russia?

Trump knows he could never actually deny his master. He would be destroyed.
