Dmitry Medvedev Lambasts Trump in Facebook Post, says Relations Have Been ‘Ruined’

This is a Facebook translation, so I’m sure Zuckerberg personally edited it to leave out anything of vital American interests. That aside, the gist of this note, which was posted on Facebook last night, was to lament over the Syrian strikes and express sadness and dismay over the state of relations between the United States and Russia, by Russian’s Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev.

That’s it. The last remaining election fog has lifted. Instead of an overworked statement about a joint fight against the biggest enemy, ISIS (the Islamic State), the Trump administration proved that it will fiercely fight the legitimate Syrian government, in a tough contradiction with international law and without UN approval, in violation of its own procedures stipulating that the Congress must first be notified of any military operation unrelated to aggression against the US. On the verge of a military clash with Russia.

Nobody is overestimating the value of pre-election promises but there must be limits of decency.

Beyond that is absolute mistrust. Which is really sad for our now completely ruined relations. And which is good news for terrorists.
One more thing. This military action is a clear indication of the US President’s extreme dependency on the opinion of the Washington establishment, the one that the new president strongly criticised in his inauguration speech. Soon after his victory, I noted that everything would depend on how soon Trump’s election promises would be broken by the existing power machine.

It took only two and a half months.

    Russia is not our friend. They’re an authoritarian government that wants a pipeline in Syrian and so is propping up the butcher Assad while he murders large numbers of his own people and causes millions of them to flee as refugees to a world that is overwhelmed by their numbers. The Russian leadership isn’t anybody worth listening to or having sympathy for.

    What we need to be concerned about is what is in the best interests of the U.S. The questions is: How could anyone think that attacking Syria is in the best interests of the U.S.? When we attack butchers like Saddam or Assad, this doesn’t work out very well. It doesn’t solve the problem, because it leaves a power vacuum that some leader just as bad or worse can slip into.

      Since when does Russia want a pipeline in Syria? From where to where?

        Is Russia Just in Syria for the Pipelines?

          Frog,

          Getting rid of the secular leaders in the middle east has been “our” plan for pipelines, this is another example blaming the opposition for what you are looking to do.

          Foreignaffairs is aligned with Clinton-Bush neocon agenda. This story/plan was uncovered way back atleast before 2011-20012, now in 2015 they are turning it around so good sheep can read.

        I am not war-mongering. I am against invading Syria. I already said that multiple times, but you won’t listen to me, because you make up your own reality of delusions, instead of looking at the real world that is in front of your face.

        Yes, Foreign Affairs is aligned with the political establishment. That does not mean they are wrong about everything.

        Just because the U.S. has done some wrong things in the MIddle East does not mean that Russia is as pure as the driven snow.

    He actually wrote a rejection of Trump like Russia is some type of force for good and DC is the evil one. What a crazy idiot. Assume the strike was meant to incite a reaction from Russia and this retard just showed his entire hand.

    So Fly/iBC’s ZioBook account was banned after Fly’s last article re the hypocrisy of (((Schumer))) but the boss of “Russian agents” Medvedev continues to blog on ZioBook. Got it.

      If Russia were really upset, they wouldn’t be saying so in a Facebook post.

      If this is the last of what we do in Syria, then this whole thing was done for the purpose of making Trump look like he is not a Russian puppet,–and Russia was in on it. We did a quick strike, with Russia– and thus Assad– warned beforehand– and we damaged nothing important. The next day, Syria was making strikes from the base we had hit the day before.

      If this is all there is to the Syria thing, then that’s all this is– “proof” that Trump isn’t a Russian puppet.

      If we escalate our wars in the M.E., then something else is happening. If that happens, then perhaps President Kushner is a war hawk.

        So how many times have you commented that the President of the United States is actually someone else now? Gotta be in the high double digits in the last couple of days. Then you bash President Trump in every other comment. Such a one sided thinker. The funny thing, he is actually playing to the uniparty you are constantly playing soap opera with day in day out.

      Yeah,

      I don’t believe it is what it actually appears.

      Late Thursday night and Friday I thought it was just wishful thinking on my part. Believing it’s 15D chess and Trump is fooling his enemies.

      Now I’m started to believe it is actually that.

      How stupid are the Neocons, McCain , Clinton, MSM?

      Pretty fucking stupid I believe. We should ask them how that Dick tastes.

    Trump says Assad used gas. Putin and Assad say No. Which chronic liar do you believe? This is the first time since Trump started campaigning that he and Putin disagree on anything, so this is a new thing here.

    This is amazing actually, because they can’t all be lying. This means that Trump or Assad or Putin said something true, for a change.

      You are out of gas frog.

      What happened to Sarin? It was the rage for the last 2 days.

      Now its just gas. For sure it wasn’t sarin. We know that as a fact. Media lied for two days about it.
