Yeah, I know he threatened war if we were to once again attack Syria. But Putin isn't crazy. He knows what war means in today's world given all the nukes everyone has.
What he's doing is threatening Trump directly. He's really saying, "You bomb Syria again and those photos of you in a Moscow hotel with hookers will go viral."

Hard core religious friend from high school - his parents were missionaries to South America and he is actively involved his church and missionary endeavors himself: "Powerful men engage in a little skirt-chasing from time to time..."
When I tried to point out that "skirt-chasing" was a kind way to describe sexual assault, most likely statutory rape, infidelity to his many wives in a serial manner and tons of lewd behavior with beauty pageant contestants he shrugged that off as liberal smear tactics making mountains out of mole-hills.

(825 posts)Boo Hoo Hoo - "I was weak in the flesh and now I've prostrated myself before Jesus asking his forgiveness" Blah Blah Blah...
They had done drugs, had sex with hookers, same sex sex, pedophilia in the case of that Dugger jerk. It never matters. All is forgiven because, you know, Jeeeeeesus.
Their names escape me thank god.

(14,558 posts)Look, 45 is a 100 percent POS.
But, even Putin knows the US had to respond to the use of chemical weapons and if was Hillary, Pence, whoever, they would have done the same (except Hillary of the D would have been crushed for not getting congressional approval is they had not, and for the attack not doing any real damage).
Trump is still his obedient useful idiot.
And, he really could give a shit about Syria (as he had said for YEARS prior to last week, and his SOS said the day before the chemical attacks). He has not interest in meddling around there, he has a raging hard on for NK, just had to respond in some to Syria to get not be pinned as weak, got the chance to blow some shit up and be able tp point to that to say how tough he is.
Russia, Iran have to talk a big game now, but both 45 and Putin know what had to happen after Assad went full on stupid.
Cyrano
(15,027 posts)I don't think he would have used the word "War" if anyone but Trump were president. Putin's meaning must be very clear to Trump. "Do it again and I'll show the world just how much of a pervert you are." (The rumors about such pictures paint them as extremely raunchy.)
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Trump does it again, and what will happen if he does.
Cosmocat
(14,558 posts)Again - why would he drop dirt on the guy he WANTS as POTUS.
45 is the biggest gift of his life.
He is talking tough because he has to look tough about it.
45 has no interest in muddling up Putin's business in Syria.
This is the prototype "kabuki theatre" moment.
There is NO chance that Putin is serious.
This is all part of the show people. Putin planned the chemical attack with Assad JUST so Trump would fire missiles at an empty airfield damaging nothing but some old concrete hangers and a few planes that couldn't be moved because they were already broken.
Trump gets to look decisive.
Trump gets to claim no Russian involvement / coordination with Trump campaign in election.
They both get to pretend that they hate each other.
Tillerson goes to Moscow without press to announce some sort of accommodation deal which will likely include lifting some sanctions (notably the oil technology sanctions).
MSM and voters all get played.

(43,153 posts)He might as well find an aircraft carrier and fly onto it under a banner reading "Mission Accomplished" at this point.
He's going to skate on the farce that was the Syrian airstrikes for all it's worth until whatever the next distraction will be.

(15,027 posts)But with compromising, possibly really gross photos or film, in Putin's possession, he has Trump on a leash. No distraction in the world will work if Putin ever releases his blackmail images of Trump.

(20,818 posts)its just a classic WWE set up by both leaders to distract their masses. They fake anger with each other and meanwhile they're still besties off set.

Cyrano
(15,027 posts)He actually said, "If she weren't my daughter, I'd date her."
Who knows what Putin may have on him? Trump is one mega sicko.
sarah FAILIN
(2,857 posts)We all know he is a pervert and sick, but the dummies voted him in. We can't impeach him for peeing on hookers. I want something we can impeach for. The rest is a distraction.

Trump gets to show he can be tough on Russia.
