Путин на дебатах

[tijd.livejournal.com]

За все годы своего правления Путин ни разу не принимал участия в публичных дебатах. Трамп на одних только выборах 2016 участвовал в одиннадцати республиканских дебатах и трех дебатах с Хиллари Клинтон. Тема России и Путина возникала неоднократно, включая знаменитую перепалку "No puppet! You are the puppet!", которая дала название этому сообществу.

Интересно проследить за ответами нашего персонажа на дебатные вопросы. Ниже предлагается пять фрагментов из республиканских дебатов. Упражнение: прочитать вопрос, подумать над ответом, потом прочитать ответ Трампа.
