WARSAW -- Speaking only about 700 miles from Moscow and just a day before his first encounter with Vladimir Putin, President Trump on Thursday criticized what he called Russia's "destabilizing behavior," and said the U.S. remained committed to deterring conflict in Europe.

In the strongest terms he has used to date, Mr. Trump called on Russia to halt its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere. He also called on Moscow to drop its support for "hostile regimes" in Syria and Iran. Mr. Trump then extended an invite to Russia to join the community of responsible nations to defend against terrorism -- a line which may resonate with Putin, who has long suggested interest in partnering with the U.S. to fight extremism in places like Syria.

He knows how to appeal to right-wing crowds all over the world. Sometimes it is required to praise Putin, sometimes the opposite.

It's all about theater. Now he has the cover to lighten some sanctions.

He kissed Putin's butt in the press conference.

The speech, written by someone else, had some mild rebukes.

When Trump himself speaks, he continues to show Putin the love.

and so does Putin and I'm quite sure he's not worried. The only one here who doesn't know what's going on is don the con himself.

For Vlad's support against terrorism somewhere....

They can point to poland speech & say
Vlad was intimidated by *45's
'calling him out on .{insert x here}..' .
Therefore, since Vlad has shown remorse & willingness to work with *45...
Vlad will be rewarded with the lifting of sanctions.
