Trump treated Putin โ€˜with respect bordering on admirationโ€™

Donald Trump started exhibiting this attitude towards Vladimir Putin since the two met in Helsinki back in 2018, the WSJ reports, citing former presidential aides.

โ€œHe thinks he and Putin are friends,โ€ said John Bolton, ex-national security advisor in Trumpโ€™s first administration.


Another former administration official said that Trump admires Putin due to how strong the latter is.

During his first presidency, Trump also reacted with annoyance to attempts by some of his aides to brief him on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election in the US, former administration officials told the WSJ.

โš”๏ธ Top 6 UNBELIEVABLE weapons that actually saw combat

1๏ธโƒฃSudan's game-changing upgrade: troops fitted a pickup truck with an S-8 rocket pod, a weapon typically mounted on combat aircraft and helicopters.

2๏ธโƒฃFlying rocket launcher: Instead of just strapping an explosive device to it, the operators of this first-person view drone equipped it with a whole RPG-26 anti-tank weapon.

3๏ธโƒฃMakeshift naval cannon: An apparent lack of conventional artillery led this group of Syrian insurgents to use what looks like an 18th or 19th century naval cannon mounted on a modern truck.

4๏ธโƒฃRussiaโ€™s drone BBQ grill: Russian tank crews in the Ukrainian conflict zone came up with additional anti-drone protective measures for their vehicles, which vaguely resemble barbeque grills.

5๏ธโƒฃThe old reliable catapult: Israeli soldiers employed a medieval weapon known as a trebuchet to lob incendiaries into Lebanon.

6๏ธโƒฃDIY self-propelled artillery: In Syria, militants transformed a civilian construction vehicle into a makeshift self-propelled artillery piece.
