The Devil V The Evil V The Donald
Mr Putin slammed Hillary Clinton’s “very aggressive” stance towards Russia
He said: “Mrs. Clinton has chosen to take up a very aggressive stance against our country, against Russia.
“Mr. Trump, on the other hand, calls for cooperation – at least when it comes to the international fight against terrorists.
He added: “Naturally we welcome those who would like to cooperate with us. And we consider it wrong, that we always have to be in conflict with one another, creating existential threats for each other and for the whole world.
“Would Mrs. Clinton delivers on he threats and harsh rhetorics against Russia if she became President? Or will she correct her position against us?”
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump clashed over Russia during the final presidential debate
In the third and final US presidential debate, Mrs Clinton said: “Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans. They have hacked American websites, American accounts of private people, of institutions. Then they have given that information to WikiLeaks for the purpose of putting it on the Internet.
“This has come from the highest levels of the Russian government, clearly, from Putin himself, in an effort, as 17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed, to influence our election.
The Republican candidate claimed Putin had “outsmarted [Mrs Clinton] every step of the way” and has “no respect” for her.
But Mrs Clinton hit back and said Mr Putin’s support of Mr Trump was because “he’d rather have a puppet as President of the United States.”
