Vladimir Putin: 'Actually, Israel is basically a Russian-speaking country, so we were always pulling for them.' 



As Wretchard points out, everyone now has to revisit their priors on Trump and Russia. Putin was totally opposed to this. 100% of the "Trump/Russia" stuff is now demonstrably proven false. People need to account for how they misread the Trump/Putin relationship before they figure out what they think now, because that whole nexus of thinking was wrong.

Trump fooled everybody. Even me; I thought he'd wait for the carriers to be on station. Nope.
