I suspect this is just Putin trolling (needling) Obama and the US. He knows very well that "approval" from Russia will not sit well with many Americans.

- mindcrime 13y agoI expect you're probably right. I bet Putin is getting a huge kick out of all this.
- jlgreco 13y agoExactly. "“He told us nothing we didn’t know before,” Putin said of Snowden" that reads like he is trying to make life pricklier for the people claiming that great damage was done to national security by revealing these secrets. That is exactly the sort of thing I would say if I wanted to amuse myself by annoying US politicians.
- X4 13y agohahah, wow I wound't ever come up with that. But it actually sounds plausible. Hat's off Putin, international Trolling debut.

- chm 13y agoWell, to me this hints that Mr. Putin has a good sense of humor! He and his friends must have had quite a fun time last week.
