Imagine the field the day the Western MSM would have had if this were Clapper, Flynn, McMaster or some USA "intelligence" head saying the same thing. Gives a sense of the stoic strength and Russia/Russians face their own realities with... Respect to Russia. Vladimir Putin and FSB make an offer to Donald Trump http://theduran.com/vladimir-putin-fsb-make-offer-to-donald-trump/ (Trump remains ever committed to trying to "make a deal" with Russia: White House: Trump wants to make a deal with Russia on ISIS and economy http://theduran.com/white-house-trump-wants-make-deal-russia-isis-economy/ ) And speaking of the threats again Russia, and 4 diplomats murdered (I'm assuming) in 3 months, most recently one the world's all time greatest diplomats, Vitaly Churkin to the UN, Russia should (perhaps, if it's in their interests), not immediately replace this diplomat except on an as-needs (for Russia) basis. The "diplomatic needs" of other countries could be met on Russian soil for a while. Might not be practical, just a thought from a friend. http://theduran.com/6-best-moments-from-vitaly-churkin-russia-un-ambassador/ http://theduran.com/breaking-vitaly-churkin-russias-un-ambassador-dies-sudde... http://theduran.com/vitaly-churkin-dies-heart-attack-office-russian-mission-...
