Rudy Giuliani has shared another strange story from his time as Donald Trump’s attorney, telling right-wing network Newsmax that the ex-president once threatened Vladimir Putin with a campaign of church bombings.

“So, he has a meeting with Putin and he tells him, they’re talking about Ukraine and he says, “Vladimir, you shouldn’t, like, attack Ukraine, cause then I’m gonna – well I never liked those big – what are those things you’ve got in Moscow? Those big bubbles, those big gold bubbles. I never liked those things. So, I’m going to have to blow ‘em up.

“So, Putin says, ‘They’re churches.’ And he said, ‘Oh, Vladimir. Don’t tell me that about churches. Oh, come on. Churches? You can fool Bush, you can’t fool me. Churches, you care about churches?’ That’s what he’s like.”

He appeared to be referring to the distinctive onion domes associated with Orthodox churches, such as St Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow’s Red Square.

he's literally boasting about a) trump's ignorance, and b) threats by a U.S President to bomb russian churches

Putin was a “woos”?
Tell the Syrians that !!
Trump warned the Russians about his expensive missile launch, and the Russians warned the Syrians
Putin was waiting for NATO to fall with his puppet pulling it down

Only a Philistine would think of blowing up St. Basil's!

Surely no one would believe anything Giuliani says anymore.

Yes the story is that Putin believed that Trump would bomb Moscow if he invaded Ukraine. If Giuliani "knows" about the conversation, I'm sure it's a tall tale that the former President tells everyone.

Did Putin invade Ukraine on Trumps watch?

Did Putin invade Ukraine on Trumps watch?

Why would he? He had a puppet to control and that made him more money

Don't get the news very often out there it seems.

Now we are believing Rudy.

Guess it depends on what he's saying.

 

[Champakian]

Certain people will believe each and every slander against Trump.

Ironically, they can't spot senility when it eats ice cream right in front of them...

who says we are?

i'm reporting something he's saying, not deciding whether or not it's true. most likely scenario is that trump said shit like that but not to putin's face, or at least told giuliani he said it. the OP's point is that he (G) said this at all... with friends like that, who needs enemies?
perhaps more interestingly, what does it say about t that people might actually believe this story at all?

you seem keen to ascribe positions lately

Butter's is a clear victim of such.

I posted Trump's exact words weeks ago. He was telling Putin if he invaded Ukraine he would bomb Moscow. Putin said "now way," Trump said, offhand, see all of those golden domes, poof, they'd be gone. Putin, finding Trump, unlike Biden, to be unpredictable and therefore was deterred from invading Ukraine on Trump's watch, as history has proved. So, no big thing here.

And his "exact words" to Putin were what he told the media that he told Putin rather than from any transcript of the conversation.

 

[KeithD]

Not a chance in hell that Trump said anything like that to his espionage controller, Putin.

It's much easier when you restrict any record of the conversation from being released

trump picks only the BEST people.
