Russia has never interfered in US internal affairs and is not planning to do so, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. He added that it is the US that “interferes everywhere” and should expect reciprocal action.
Putin’s hostile declaration is a warning to the U.S. This could spell further trouble for Trump, amid unscrupulous attempts to undermine Trump, have him removed from office, make him appear unfit and mentally unstable.
Russia has opposed Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It has exhibited underhanded attempts to weaken the state of Israel in its partnership with Iran and Syria, even refusing to back efforts to “prevent Iranian-backed fighters from operating in the Syrian Golan Heights close to the Israeli border.” Russia also supported the Iranian deal that saw over 100 billion dollars flow into the coffers of Iran to continue its funding of jihad terror.
Although the Russia-Iran alliance is not without problems, Russia and Iran have been engaged in an “unprecedented cooperation. Never in 500 years has the leadership of the two countries been so close.”
Notice that Putin has not itemized exactly how America is interfering, forgetting that it is the right of the United States to monitor activities within its own country, protect its borders, pull funding from problematic states and also to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Israel.
“Putin: US interferes in other countries’ affairs, should expect mirror reply”, RT News, January 11, 2018:
Russia has never interfered in US internal affairs and is not planning to do so, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. He added that it is the US that “interferes everywhere” and should expect reciprocal action.
No country would tolerate foreign interference in its internal affairs, Putin said, as he spoke at a meeting with the Russian media. He also said it is “absolutely wrong” that the US “constantly engages[in those sorts of activities] and makes attempts [to influence other countries’ internal political situations], believing that it is normal.”
Concerning Russia’s relations with the US, Putin said that the situation depends on the US side to a significant extent. Moscow “has been long ready for rapprochement” with Washington, he said, adding that the US has to find enough “will, courage and common sense” to understand that improving relations would serve the interests of both sides. “Until then, relations would only deteriorate further,” the president said.
On Wednesday, the US Democrats released a new report, which blamed Putin for personally leading a “20-year” campaign to undermine democracy around the globe through “disinformation, cyberattacks, military invasions, alleged political assassinations, threats to energy security, election interference, and other subversive tactics.”
Despite a lack of significant proof to back up these claims, the accusations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections remain a hot topic in Washington, contributing largely to the worst deterioration in Russian-American relations since the Cold War. The US has imposed several waves of sanctions on Russia, targeting private individuals, companies and whole sectors of economy.
Some Russian diplomatic properties in America were confiscated, while media outlets RT and Sputnik were forced to register as foreign agents. Russia has always firmly denied the allegations of any interference in the US political process, replying to Washington’s aggressive moves with mirror measures.
In late December, Putin said foreign security agencies are “doing all they can to ramp up their level of activity in Russia,”…..
