WASHINGTON -- Russia said on Wednesday it still expects a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump to go ahead as planned. Mr. Trump, in an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday, said he may cancel the sit-down with Putin in Argentina following Russia's seizure of three Ukrainian naval ships last weekend.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday that the meeting is on and that Russia has not received "any other information from our U.S. counterparts."

The long-simmering conflict between Russia and Ukraine burst into the open on Sunday, when Russian border guards fired on three Ukrainian vessels and seized the ships and the crew.

Mr. Trump said he would be receiving a "full report" from his national security team on Russia's recent actions in eastern Ukraine and the Black Sea. He said he would decide on a course afterward.

1. I laughed when I heard trump was supposedly cancelling the meeting

I laughed because I knew that cancelling the meeting was not approved by the Kremlin and therefore trump has zero say.

2. It is time for trump's performance review by his boss

3. Hmm, what play are they running this time?

Are they trying to make drumpf look independent after the trouncing in the mid-terms, like he's going against them, or are they making it obvious he's their tool and will do whatever they say?

4. As Russia moves its missiles forward

Trump continues to subordinate himself (and all of us) before Putin. He's a traitor by any definition.

5. Whatever Putin says goes

For Trumpledorf it is strictly posturing.

6. On bended knee

The republican draft dodger in chief knows he must obey the money mobsters from russia

7. Ruh roh, Donnie is going to get a spanking.

It's ok for Donnie to lie to the American people but not ok to lie to Pootie. Donnie was probably on the red phone telling Pootie he will be there with clean undies on.

8. What is the strategic importance for all of these accelerating meetings with Russian and Ecuador?

Note even Jimmy Carter had this many meetings with the Kremlin when we were negotiating SALT talks. And WTF does Ecuador have to do with anything?



Other than the obvious significance to both.
