MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said relations between Moscow and Washington were getting worse and worse, noting in an interview published on Thursday that the current U.S. administration had imposed dozens of sanctions on Russia.

Putin made his gloomy assessment ahead of a G20 summit in Japan later this month at which he might meet U.S. President Donald Trump.

U.S.-Russia ties remain strained by everything from Syria to Ukraine as well as allegations of Russian interference in U.S. politics, which Moscow denies.

1. This must be the Russian

equivalent of Faux, I'm guessing? McConnell would disagree, his relationships with Russia are VERY lucrative. Unless Vlad is finally having buyer's remorse? Maybe he really did not know just how dumb tRump really is.

The ex-KGB master is running circles around his puppet in the White House. It’s also a message: “Keep destroying your country, Donald, or you will never build a Trump Tower in Moscow.”

Maybe Putin is irritated that Trump’s attempt to suck up to the Brits backfired with huge protests and his stupid remark that their national health program would be part of a trade deal. Trump was practically salivating about his notion that he would have the UK over a barrel when they leave the EU and could open their market to every nasty thing he wants to force down their throats.

5. little man Putin is just giving cover for his puppet clown

He says things like this in public but when he gives his marching orders to Trump, it's a different story.

The Rubes who vote for the orange buffoon and his sex worker, don't like to think the little man in Moscow is actually controlling the US. So tiny Putin puts out propaganda releases every now and then to make it look as if the puppet is not being controlled by the master.

7. Prelude to war cooked up by Putin and tRump?

Power and money for both of them (tRump thinks), and we'd be praying for him to save us from the boogeyman in 2020.

As the saying goes--If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention.
