The Putin bounties was an overblown story,


bad media thing. Not in the top 20 of things to be rightly pissed at Trump for.

“It’s our commanders who are going to go deal with this kind of a threat, using intelligence given to them by the intelligence community,” Powell continued. “But that has to be analyzed. It has to be attested. And then you have to go find out who the enemy is. And I think we were on top of that one, but it just got almost hysterical in the first few days.”

Powell went on to describe the priorities of the U.S. Army, and how Russia isn’t one of them right now.

“I don’t think we’re in a position to go to war with the Russians,” Powell said. “I know Mr. [Vladimir] Putin rather well. He’s just figuring out a way to stay in power until 2036. The last thing he’s looking for is a war, and the last thing he’s looking for is a war with the United States of America.”
