In the annals of handshake photo-ops, we just may have a new winner (much to the delight of oil bulls who are looking at oil treading $50 and contemplating jumping out of the window).

The way Putin greeted MbS is inexplicable, to my mind, unless he knows something about Khashoggi we don’t. I can’t get away from the idea that Putin has reason to believe MbS was set up over Khashoggi like Russia was set up over the Skripals.
Putin ordered the murder of the Skripals, he loves to kill
Got proof to back up your claims? Didn’t think so.
I believe that President Putin couldn’t care less about Kashoggi. A Saudi working for the US! So what! The Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia are working together and will continue doing so, Kashoggi dead or alive.
Spot on. Kashoggi simply picked the wrong faction. It’s no business of Putin’s what rulers get up to. As for the US and its western and media lackeys, they were quite happy to arm the Saudis to devastate Yemen and attempt to destroy Syria. Putin yet again was trolling the western media, for whom he justifiably has total contempt
Vlad & bin Sally control oil. Vlad keeps making alliances and Don keeps losing. Deep State will not allow Trump to make the necessary decision to Make America Great Again. An American/Russian alliance which has 90% of the worlds nukes. U.S. controls the western hemisphere and Putin controls the Eurasian continent. Why do the characters in the deep state hate Russia so much ? The Russians saved them from total extinction had the Res Army not won WW II in Europe singlehandedly.
The USA re-writes in it’s favour the parts of history it doesn’t like to make it self look better than it really is. Thankfully, most people know that if it wasn’t for Russia during WWII, Europe would be very different place and we’d all be speaking German!.
the man responsible for the death of Anna Politkovskaya high 5s with the man responsible for the death of Jamal Khashoggi… says it all really!
And your comemnts says all we need to know about you doesn’t it? I suppose you peddle the Douma hoax and think Seth Rich was killed by a random maniac?
It’s a dissapionting article. You chose the pictures. I appreciate your pro russian stand, but to see Puting being pretty with SOB, sorry, MBS, does not add up.
I like the moralistic Russia and this is not the case.
You need to be objective and condemn a horrible act not matter where it comes from. Think of you going to your country’s embassy and getting cut into pieces. Screw MBS and whom ever, for conviniance, helps him out. Not on this one.
I see where you’re coming from, but although I don’t think anyone here has any sympathy with the thug MBS, and I doubt any of us would want to go anywhere near this monster. However, to be fair to Putin he’s really just demonstrating Realpolitik and effectively saying he’ll look after Russian interests and deal with anybody. It’s not pretty, but he evidently enjoys baiting the West. The hypocrisy of the MSM is in condemning MBS for the murder of Kashoggi is like castigating Hitler for his part in the murder of Roehm, the Brownshirt leader. No one would wish… Read more »
It looks worse on a “still” than on the video. On the video, where everything happens in motion, in a few seconds, it appears as though MbS brings out the hand and Putin merely responds. He would respond and smile as this is diplomatic. We have no way of knowing if he found a Gents room as soon as he could, to wash his hands? However, we have to remember, Mr. Putin is an honest man, and often an honest man can tell you things, in honesty, that you dont want to hear. So we all tend to insert our… Read more »
