When Sergey Lavrov had that now infamous private meeting with Trump shortly after the inauguration in which only the Russian state media were allowed inside, Lavrov looked at the camera before they went in and smirked as he mocked the reporter's question about Russia's election meddling. I thought to myself at the time, what he's really saying is, "Your our b*tch now, America. Bend over." And the really sad thing is, all the people who blindly support Trump don't even realize that Putin owns Trump, and by extension, all of us. For them, he's their new best friend because they think Putin is Trump's best friend. As Richard Engel is reporting on MSNCB even as I write this, he's not our friend - not by any stretch of the imagination.

We're living in weird, weird times.
