John McCain: Trump 'taking the word of a KGB colonel' over US intelligence
by Daniel Chaitin | Nov 11, 2017, 6:23 PM

Sen. John McCain issued a sharp rebuke of President Trump after it was reported Saturday that he believed Vladimir Putin's sincerity when he asserted that he was not complicit in interfering in the 2016 election.

“President Trump today stated that he believed Vladimir Putin is being sincere when he denies Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election," McCain, R-Ariz., who is also chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.

Trump and Putin spoke briefly a few times at a conference in Vietnam, he told reporters afterwards. He said he, one again, pressed Putin on the issue of Russian meddling, which he said Putin denied. Trump indicated that Putin was sincere in his assertion. "I think that he is very, very strong in the fact that he didn’t do it," Trump said, according to a press pool report.

Personally I would take the word of a Moscow street walker over that of John McCain.

I prefer presidents who haven't been captured by Putin.

I don't think Trump believes Putin or that Putin thinks Trump believes him. They both need a public face of cooperation.

Neither can do much about propagandizing by the other. Each needs cooperation from the other in matters such as terrorist threats. AFAIK, we do warn each other of potential terrorist acts.

Neither wants to lock horns in Syria so we must agree to downplay incidents that arise. That must be a delicate and much dishonest game to play.

It's an open question on whether we can cooperate in taming the Nork beast. Russia seems to be lining up on the Nork side but may just be looking for some concession on some matter from us.

IOW, this isn't some little game of believing Putin.
