Putin Offers Asylum To “Leaker” Comey | Zero Hedge

KW: As the U.S. descends even further into chaos rather than being able to ‘rubbish Putin’ he must be enjoying the laugh. Really he must be becoming annoyed that the Russia slagging made up by U.S. media is dragging on an on without any evidence produced so far. All it is is innuendo and belief that Trump is Putin’s man and it is driving American politicians mad. Now U.S. Senators have voted by massive and overwhelming ignorant majority to impose more sanctions on Russia. Regrettably they will not see Putins comments as satire but somehow as a direct threat to the U.S.

Shortly after the Senate voted Wednesday to slap new sanctions on key sectors of Russia’s economy over “interference in the 2016 U.S. elections” and aggression in Syria (!) and Ukraine, in a joint statement Austria’s Chancellor Christian Kern and Germany’s Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said it appeared that the Senate bill was aimed at securing US energy jobs and pushing out Russian gas deliveries to Europe. Germany and Austria have slammed the new sanctions and warn of a collapse in relations with Russia saying that the new sanctions are designed to be an energy blockade which they said is trying to help American natural gas suppliers at the expense of their Russian rivals. And they warned the threat of fining European companies participating in the Nord Stream 2 project “introduces a completely new, very negative dimension into European-American relations.” Tension in the ranks of the underdogs!

Secretary of State Tilson has warned Americans that everywhere he traveled in Europe he was told that the Europeans want better relations with Russia not more sanctions.

But back to the story

“It looks weird when the chief of a security agency records his conversation with the commander-in-chief and then hands it over to media via his friend,” Putin was quoted by Russia’s Tass. “This is strange. How then is the director of the FBI any different from Snowden?”
