    “I said, ‘Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow,” Donald Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, without specifying under what circumstances and when he and Putin had this conversation.

    Oh, it’s unpopular supporting a murderous dictator piece of shit whose army invaded another sovereign country to commit war crimes and now you’re claiming you stood up to him, right before an election you might lose. Interesting…

      I mean, he might have said it, the man seems mentally scrambled enough that even if he’s in Putin’s pocket I could see him trying to make threats to him to boost his ego. Now him saying it in a way that would make it seem serious, or actually meaning it, is another matter.
