'Trump's coming along well,' says proud Putin

ree

'My protege Donald is a model oligarch,' an admiring Vladimir Putin told his house-trained hacks in the Kremlin press corps.


'The way he destroyed Jimmy Kimmel's career was right out of the Goblin Vladimir playbook.


'A comedian mocks you and your allies for taking advantage of someone's death to smear your opponents. What you don't do is go charging in there trying to arrest the guy, because everyone will play the hero and defend him to the hilt.


'So you secretly work on the TV corporation which airs the show, threatening to confiscate its broadcasting licence and to stall on approving its merger request.


'Then you leave it to the board of directors to make their own, totally independent, decision to sack Kimmel for exercising his right of free speech.


'Since the people who own America's media care more about money than freedom, within a matter of months you'll have every one of them in your pocket, just like I have.'


'If you ever wondered what Trump and Putin chatted about in the presidential car in Alaska with no civil servants listening,' said a White House Stepford wife, 'then now you know. He's been learning all that FSB greaseball stuff.


'And you can judge for yourselves just what a grip we've now got on the media in our country after seeing how all the US journalists cravenly stood up and applauded Mr Trump during his state visit to the UK.


'Actually, that was a bit too obvious,' the spokes-robot continued. 'We'll have to order these slavish minions to dial it down a notch.'


'Trump's slavish minions gave him a standing ovation, did they?' roared an incandescent Putin at his press conference in the Kremlin. 'Right, on your feet, you miserable muzhiks! I want relentless clapping for half an hour minimum!'

Summit standoff as Putin shows reluctance to attend at the Hague

ree

Following the debacle in Alaska and the love-in in Washington the political elders agree it's time Putin (or whichever stand-in is available) and Zelenskyy should face each other across a table.  Putin suggested Moscow, which Zelenskyy declined.  A counter proposal to use a neutral venue such as the Hague has received a tepid reaction from the Russian leader.


'President Putin doesn't want to hang out in the Hague,' said a Russian spokesman.  'Fake noose,' he added.
