AFP: Bolton hails 'very comprehensive and productive' talks in Russia

US National Security Advisor John Bolton on Tuesday praised "productive" talks with President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials during a two-day trip to Moscow.

"I had a series of very comprehensive and productive discussions," he told a press conference after the visit, which follows US President Donald Trump's announcement he will pull out of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia.

A 90-minute meeting with Putin touched on the conflict in Syria and alleged election meddling by Russia as well as Trump's decision on the arms treaty, Bolton said.

"We discussed our continuing concern with Russian meddling in elections and why it was particularly harmful for Russian-American relations without producing anything in return," he said.

Trump is doing so well I cannot believe that the Democrats don't get behind this guy. I've never seen a guy with that much energy, and that impressively handling foreign policy - all while the media constantly attacks and tries to undermine him. He's like a fat Rocky haha
I really hope some Democrats come out and show backbone and support him publicly. But their mobs are keeping everyone in line. That's why I have newfound respect for Kanye West. Yes he was a bit incoherent, but I know that feeling well when you've got that kind of artistic mind and never learned how to control it. Either way, I hope more -Americans- (forget party) find their spine. This is history making in progress and either get out of the way (resistance movements and mobs) or get on board ffs.
