Trump was on the phone with Putin again last evening. [View all]

What do you suppose they were discussing??

Their own little personal wars of choice? "Help me in Ukraine and I will help you in Iran?"

Or maybe discussing the price of oil and the great favor that Trump has done for Russia and the Big Oil companies?

The bottom line is that Vladimir Putin is calling the shots in American foreign policy. Probably domestic policy also?

There was a time when we would have thought that someone was listening to the phone call? Maybe they are all too afraid to gamble with such a move now?
