Back channel communication between Trump and Putin on Ukraine attacks

Remember when President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner  talked with the Russian ambassador in December 2016 about establishing a back channel for communications.  The talk between Kushner and the Russian envoy about communications was focused on the U.S. response to the crisis in Syria and other policy-related matters. The former director of the National Security Agency and the CIA, Gen. Michael Hayden, called Kushner’s request for a communications back channel “off the map."  “What manner of ignorance, chaos, hubris, suspicion, contempt, would you have to have to think that doing this with the Russian ambassador was a good or appropriate idea?” Hayden said.  “This is off the map,” Hayden said. “I know of no other experience like this in our history, certainly within my life experience.”  That was then, but now, Trump is back in the news again h aving a back channel communication with Putin and then praising Vladimir Putin as “very savvy” sh...

Trump praises Putin's 'genius' incursion into Ukraine

Trump praises Putin's 'genius' incursion into Ukraine Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday praised Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to send Russian troops into Ukraine to support Russian-backed separatists in the Luhansk and Donetsk provinces. In  an appearance  on the right-wing talk radio program "The Buck Sexton Show," Trump broke his conspicuous silence on the crisis to applaud the Russian dictator. "This is genius," he said of Putin's decision on Monday to officially recognize the breakaway provinces and authorize the use of Russian military personnel to assist them. "So Putin is now saying it’s independent — a large section of Ukraine. I said, how smart is that? And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace, all right." Trump is a long-standing fan of Putin...

Republicans mocked after marking Presidents Day by insulting Biden – and praising Nixon and Trump

  A Presidents’ Day joke from the official  Republican Party  Twitter feed has been ridiculed for disrespecting  Joe Biden  while hailing  Richard Nixon  as among the “great US presidents”. Borrowing the meme of the “ not you ” grid, the party singled out eight past Republican presidents for praise: Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Nixon, Ronald Reagan, both George Bushes, and of course,  Donald Trump . Mr Biden, meanwhile, is shown wearing a mask designed to stop the spread of Covid-19, which Donald Trump famously contracted late in his presidency. Follow the latest updates on Trump The reaction to the bizarrely pro-Nixon message was swift and caustic, with anti-Republican commentators and tweeters seizing on the implications immediately – and pointing out that unlike Nixon, who resigned from office before being formally ejected by Congress, Donald Trump was in fact impeached twice for alleged crimes committed during his tenur...
