He argued that trying to influence the U.S. vote would make no sense for Moscow as a U.S. president can't unilaterally shape policies.

No, Putin, but the U.S. president can more or less unilaterally determine foreign policy and is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, which is the area you're really concerned with as a foreign adversary. Not to mention that, even without stipulating collusion, it is definitely within Russian interests for their foremost geopolitical enemy to be led by an incompetent, easily manipulated buffoon.

"Russia has never engaged in that, we don't need it and it makes no sense to do it," he said. "Presidents come and go, but policies don't change. You know why? Because the power of bureaucracy is very strong."

Aaaaand there it is. This is exactly what Putin wants and exactly what he set out to achieve by meddling in the election to increase the chance of getting Trump elected. Sowing division, deconstructing and destabilizing American and democratic institutions/norms. That is precisely the effect Trump has had.

 

[Slime]

Well shit, if Putin says so...

 

[Electric Eye]

Tweeted this out just today.

This means Trump is still contacting Russians and is coordinating talking point messages with them either directly or through a mediator. Holy shit Trumpnis such a moron.

 

[alr1ght]

Breh, people were saying you were meddling before voting took place.

 

[Bossking]

So we have both Trump AND Putin attempting to paint democrats as an enemy.

 

[Shadybiz]

Glad that Daddy Putin was able to clear that up.

Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News.

No they're not laughing, they're pissed! This blew up in their face. They wanted that backdoor. Unfortunately for them they relied on a buffoon.

 

[John Rabbit]

He can seriously rot in the lowest possible ring of Hell.

 

[LegendofLex]

How funny that Putin's statement dismissing Russian interference in US elections is basically exactly on message with Donald's agenda before, during, and after the campaign.

 

[jelly]

I wouldn't put it past him he said this for a reason like keep your traps shut, you know who you are. He doesn't tend to speak up about things that often.

 

[tbm24]

How long until Trump tweets this interview out as proof?

 

[L Thammy]

This Putin fellow seems like a trustyworthy chap. Pack up the investigation then.

 

[Pomerlaw]

Has Putin responded to Macron's speech in any interview or statement?

He was right beside him when he said it. Didn't say shit. ;P

Putin: Russian meddling "fiction" invented by democrats

Finally an unbiased, credible source weighs in!

 

[commedieu]

This isn't even funny. We have evidence they hacked us. We have evidence their news bots work as propaganda spreading lies.

Most people around the president have Russian ties. He begged them to hack clinton.

Yet,because bigots want the clock turned back to the 50s, before minorities and women had rights. All Republicans are fine with this.

 

[KernelPanic]

Putin and Trump using the same talking points is disturbing to no end.

 

[Darknight]

Not so democratic leader talking about people voting and choosing their president fair and square. Fucking lol.

 

[commedieu]

Putin and Trump using the same talking points is disturbing to no end.

No shit. This is unprecedented.

 

[SaviourMK2]

I don't listen to gay clowns.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

I think this is an actual photograph of Putin's face when he said that:

 

[Tovarisc]

I don't listen to gay clowns.

Frogs, not clowns.

Frogs.

 

[The Jazz Cabbage Master]

My dad was just telling me how great russia and Putin are so I guess I can trust this!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Putin finally folded and said some shit. Has he directly responded before? This seems like he has shown a crack now.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

He was right beside him when he said it. Didn't say shit. ;P

The French and German once almost conquered Russia. With their powers combined as the leader of the free world.. hmm..

 

[VariantX]

Tweeted this out just today.

Oh they're laughing for sure, but not for the reason he thinks they are.

 

[Strike]

Well, I'm convinced.

*goes back to watching RT*

Yeah well you might as well let your fantasy die a quick death. France/Germany conquer Russia in this day and age, good grief did all the republican nut-jobs pass on their tinfoil hats for the next four years?

 

[Byakuya769]

Sounds familiar.

 

[Princess Viola]

Well that settles it then!

 

[uncelestial]

If by "Democrats" he means "British intelligence agencies" and by "fiction invented by" he means "alarming event noticed by" then sure

Apparently, all of these foreign spy agencies and governments are mere puppets of the U.S. Democratic party. It's all a big conspiracy against those innocent Russians and poor little Donny.

 

[Biske]

Lounging bed hackers fucking with governments and here I am just laying in bed reading neogaf.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I mean, what's he going to say? "Yeah, we did it, and we'd do it again."?

 

[commedieu]

I mean, what's he going to say? "Yeah, we did it, and we'd do it again."?

"YES THEY DESERVED TO GET HACKED AND I HOPE THEY GET HACKED IN HELL"

 

[Imperfected]

I did nothing, I was lying in my bed all election. This hacking, it could have been anyone, even someone lying in their bed.

 

[statham]

Putin trying to put on a masterclass of trolling, doesn't work any more though.

oh it works on many, many peeps. thats the problem.

 

[Imperfected]

I honestly don't even get the point of lying about it at this juncture. I mean, you can see from the positive upswing in Republican opinions with regard to Vladimir Putin that they also think he did it, even if they're pretending like they don't for the sake of political expedience. No one's actually buying the lie, it's just plausible deniability at this point.

So powerful they deliberately lost the election just so they could attack "real" America.
