Politico: Obama: No, I don’t trust Putin
President Barack Obama said Thursday that he doesn’t trust Russian leader Vladimir Putin to help lessen the violence in Syria.
Obama, speaking at a news conference at the Pentagon, had some harsh words for his Russian counterpart and warned that he is expecting Russia to cooperate in de-escalating violence or else Moscow would prove to be an “irresponsible actor” that is “supporting a murderous regime.”
“I’m not confident that we can trust the Russians or Vladimir Putin, which is why we have to have to test whether or not we can get an actual cessation of hostilities that includes an end to the kinds of aerial bombing and civilian death and destruction that we have seen carried out by the Assad regime,” Obama said.

It can still hurt even if you are more flexible.
So if Obama was not going after Trump in a sideways move would he even have made this statement about Putin?
нет! We know Obama is a lion when facing Republicans and U.S. allies. Otherwise he is a putty tat.
Give it 24 hours. Obama will walk that back.
When the President of Crazyland stateshe cannot trust someone it doesn't necessarily mean they are not trustworthy in the traditional sense. It means they can not be trusted to eat their cookies and roll over like a good doggie.
When representatives of Crazyland talk about Putin or Xi they remind me of Hitler's use of projection to accuse others of hostile intent toward Germany while he harragued, threatened and prepared for war.
Yo funny :)))) In your Crazyland Obama is Hitler and probable Putin and Xi dude are Angels...your weird but so funny :))))
