Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday he had invited U.S. President Donald Trump to Moscow and that both he and Trump were ready for further summits, but that conditions needed to be right for a meeting to take place.

Putin and Trump met in Helsinki earlier this month at a summit, but Trump faced a storm of criticism back home for his handling of the meeting.

Speaking to reporters at a summit of BRICS countries in South Africa, Putin said telephone calls between Moscow and Washington were insufficient and that both sides needed to meet to talk about issues like the Iran nuclear deal, conflicts in the Middle East, and arms control treaties.

“Regarding our meetings, I understand very well what President Trump said. He has a desire to have further meetings, to hold further meetings. I am ready for that. We need for the appropriate conditions to exist, to be created, including in our countries,” Putin told a news conference.

“We are ready for such meetings. We are ready to invite President Trump to Moscow. By all means. By the way, he has such an invitation, I told him about that.”

1. One can only hope Trump is embroiled in legal crises before that comes to pass.

20. Just what we need. Trump, the turncoat, meeting with the enemy.

Benedict Arnold sold out West Point. What's Trump's price? A couple of hotels and more loans from the Russian mafia? He was willing to sell out Hilary Clinton, a citizen and foe of Putin, for the promise of dirt that they never delivered. The Russians have exploited this worthless man without a shed of decency who is solely motivated by his personal gain at the expense of his country.

25. keep TRUMP there forever

[Javaman]

2. the king doesn't come to you, you come to the king. LOL nt

3. "We need for the appropriate conditions to exist, to be created...."

Fuck you Vlad. You need to be impaled.

[Chemisse]

7. Perhaps they are scheming a way to program Trump so he doesn't keep waffling on his 'duties' n/t

[rzemanfl]

13. Did you mean to reply to the OP? n/t

[Chemisse]

14. Actually I was thinking about the "appropriate conditions" that needed to be "created."

But it wasn't well connected, I see now.

[rzemanfl]

16. Now I get it. n/t

4. The Final Act

Trump requests asylum and stays in Russia. His kids are thrown back like undersized fish.

Okay, a boy can dream, can't I?

[certainot]

10. perfect trolling from putin - basically offering asylum, saying it's over, come home

[2naSalit]

5. Well...

If he does go there, we can just have AF1 return immediately after he de-planes, all Secret Service to return with the plane, not let the asswipe back here on American soil... but then he can't rot in prison here where most of us want to make sure that's a for real thing.

6. Is this sudden "invitation" due to the Trump Tower meeting fiasco that broke last night?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. You mean seek refuge

When the shit goes down.

9. Trump may go there and ask for asylum

[Iliyah]

11. Keep him.

[JaneQPublic]

12. Classic Dominance Move (nt)

[nature-lover]

15. Precisely and threw the ball back to trump to check the reaction.

[JaneQPublic]

17. No doubt Trump will be a good Poodle, like always. (nt)

[JDC]

26. Yep

[forgotmylogin]

18. Can he just keep him there?

Asking for a friend.

[DFW]

19. Right conditions? Here are some right conditions.

Trump has resigned, and Vladimir Vladimirovitch wants his money back. Trump gets an economy cell in the Lubyanka until he signs over the deeds to all properties that he owns free of debt. Oops, that doesn't work. Putin owns them already.

OK, Putin manipulates the midterms, and now owns both the Speaker of the House AND the Senate majority leader. THEN Trump can visit Moscow. It's the only place where he can't whine when the local papers call him "Tramp," since the Russian language doesn't have a short "u," and the Cyrillic alphabet doesn't have a letter that sounds quite like it.

*Putin won't keep him there permanently. Russia has enough pollution problems of its own as it is.

21. Trump: "It is a huge honor to be invited by President Putin. A very, very great honor!"

"Kelly, pack my bags!"

[Polly Hennessey]

22. And, you may keep him.

Under no circumstances do we want him back.

[haele]

23. Hmmm. He doesn't want to come over here. He wants Drumpf to go there.

Not only is it a dominance play, he wants to meet with Drumpf in a location he can control, where he is the one recording everything that goes on.
Wonder how much criminally incriminating and outright treasonous discussions he is planning to have with "The Donald"?
Or at least, he doesn't want our IC to see "the tune-up" his people will have to do on his puppet.

24. I doubt that Putin would ever set foot in the US

He's probably terrified of being assassinated here. Don't laugh!
There are so many people who own firearms in the US, everyone in Europe thinks we're out of control.

On the other hand, they have very strict gun control in Russia. So he only has to worry about a military coup there.

[sheshe2]

27. Oh good. He is going home

[Gothmog]

28. From Betty Bowers

29. I say if Putin were foolish enough to come here he should never be allowed to leave

I would throw his beet-eating ass into Florence supermax.

[Moostache]

30. Someone is getting in trouble...

Looks like Trump is in need of another performance eval... when I go this to employees it is called 30-60-90 and culminates in termination if I don't get better performance.

I hope Putin cans his ass...
