According to the website, it was a brief meeting. Judging by photos posted, Putin and Stone spoke over a cup of tea.
Earlier this year, the US filmmaker released a documentary about Putin on the basis of numerous interviews with the Russian leader.
"Stone is here in Moscow. It's a private visit, he took part in some conferences," the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said earlier. "Considering how many hours they [Putin and Stone] spent together while working on a well-known film, the president decided to take advantage of his [Stone's] visit just to shake hands and ask each other how they are doing."
Could you imagine the response of Trump if he had to endure what has been done to provoke Putin. Missiles parked in Poland and Romania (think of Russian missiles parked in Ontario and Tijuana or even Cuba). What would have happened if Russia shot down a US jet in Syria. The opposite happened and there was no retaliation.
MSM will tell you everything you didn't want to know about Matt Lauer, but nothing about NATO military exercises 100 mi from the Russian border or the fact that China and Russia have common borders with N. Korea but it is the US whose closed border is 4,000 mi away but it is the one looking for a fight with Little Kim. They do not tell you that N. Korea is still technically at war with the South since 1953 (truce only no peace treaty) and that Kim is an aggressor. You only hear about dangerous and reckless maneuvers by foreign powers to direct US ships and planes probing Russia's territorial limits.
The axis of good, that is, "Israel and the US" are in Syria "illegally" and Russia, who was invited in by the sovereign government is the invader. The US was in Syria for more than a year and with its satellites failed to see oil convoys headed to Turkey. It took Russia mere weeks to separate the s _ _ t from the shinola that CNN is feeding you. I think Putin prefers Russia Today over CNN. Even Trump who despises "fake news" does
Russia has banned GMO foods as they are poison; the evidence is clear for anyone who wants to search for it. Water in Russia is not fluoridated. Studies have shown that one properly detonated EMP could take out the greater part of the US power grid. In one year without power 90% of the population would be dead. It would take a mere few billion dollars to harden the grid but nobody in the government cares. They feel that money is better spent on the military. Putin has underground bunkers for citizens if there is a nuclear exchange; the US has bunkers but only for misfits like Pelosi, McCain, McConnel, Graham and other swamp denizens but nothing for you.
Remember this time, unlike any other time in your history, the war is coming to America. With the weapons of today you can take that to the bank.
