      This is the tweet where I first saw his statement:

      While the tweet is fine, the translation is different to the one presented in the article and thus the quote tweets are all either pissed due to the supposed disrespect or laughing because Putin is an “epic troll.” Obviously none of this matters but I just find it interesting.

        I think the title "Putin keeps trolling US Democratic Party" combined with the lack of this quote from RT conveys a different message to libs:

        “In the end, the choice is up to the American people and we will treat their eventual decision with respect,”

          Yes, the RT article is a lot more trustworthy with regard to translation, I don’t know what Sputnik was thinking when they made this tweet. I also had no idea Trump imposed more sanctions on Russia than ever before, which kind of defangs the whole “besties with Russia” narrative.
