Secretary of Defense James Mattis is one of the best players on Team Trump since he’s a brilliant and no-nonsense guy. He also doesn’t suffer fools lightly. So in a recent interview concerning defense issues, James Mattis burned Vladimir Putin.
It was magnificent.
Gen. Mattis was at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California on Saturday, participating in a Reagan Defense Forum panel discussion. Speaking with him was Fox News’ Bret Baier, one of that network’s best interviewers. And of course the issue of Russia came up, especially since President Trump had canceled a meeting with Putin after Russia’s new aggression against the Ukraine.

So it was then that James Mattis burned Putin.
“This is a very complex situation because clearly Mr. Putin is a slow learner.”
Oh, burn!
Mattis went on.
“He is not recognizing that what he is doing is actually creating the animosity against his people.”
“He is actually causing NATO to re-arm and strengthen the democracies’ stance, the unified stance of all the democracies together.”
And he said bluntly:
“We’re dealing with someone we simply cannot trust.”
Not only that, but Mattis called out Putin for interfering with our elections. Again.
“There is no doubt the relationship has worsened. He tried again to muck around in our elections this last month. We are seeing a continued effort along those lines.”
So while CNN, MSNBC and their fellow travelers in the Democratic party are searching under every rock for Trump-Russia collusion, Gen. Mattis puts the kibosh on any lovefest between the president and the Russian strong man.
But hold on. Isn’t Gen. Mattis at odds with President Trump? Remember how Trump recently called Mattis “sort of a Democrat”?
Which, of course, set tongues wagging among the chattering classes about how long Mattis will stay in the White House.
So during the interview, Bret Baier asked the Defense Secretary that question:
“Do you have any plans to leave the administration soon?”
But just like James Mattis burned Putin, he also burned Baier in his deadpan answer:
“Well, if I did, Bret, you wouldn’t be the one to know.”
Oh, burn again!

But then Mattis went on to explain his commitment to the President. . . and the nation:
“When the President of the United States asks you to do something in America you just do it. . .”
Because that’s the way the Warrior Monk rolls, like a true Marine. No “wondering and wringing your hands.” And woe to bully Vladimir Putin, the “slow learner,” who likes to throw his weight around. Gen. Mattis will not cow before him.
Defense Secretary James Mattis, you are magnificent.

bob sykes says: Mattis is both a warmonger and a war criminal, being personally responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of civilian in the MENA and the destruction of whole cities. In a just world, Mattis would be hanged.
Kim Hirsch says: Go peddle your America hatred somewhere else.
Kate says: War is hell buddy, and so is your outlook.
Marcela Cruz says: Please refer to my response to Bob sykes.
Marta Hernandez says: Oh, look! A filthy hippie chimes in! James Mattis is a scholar and a philosopher, who is also a warrior when needed. He understands the dangers we face as a nation, and has dedicated his life to the service of said nation.
You, on the other hand, are an ignorant, hysterical infected testicle. You aren’t fit to clean Mattis’ asshole with your tongue after a beer shit.
Buh bye
Ben Dover says: Marta you are as classy as ever.
Marta Hernandez says: Yep. I am.
Marta Hernandez says: Also, the irony of this comment coming from a creature that bills itself as “Ben Dover,” is also glaring.
Have a good night, now!
Marcela Cruz says: What an incredible demonstration of real class, Marta! Perhaps you have not heard that mud thrown is ground lost…
scott says: Mattis is a warrior and a gentlemen, and has forgotten more than you’ll ever know. go back to huffing your own farts in your moms basement, playing with her underwear, and pretending to be a man you un-American POS
Lonnie Palmateer says: Would you rather be speaking German? Get Bent.
Marcela Cruz says: Bob – you are spot on and courageous to say so. Those like Kim Hirsch are the real enemies of our Republic (not democracy, if you now your real history). Here are just two little gems, along those lines, from people who are both intelligent, critical thinkers, and in the know:

and http://thesaker.is/the-man-on-the-left-the-man-on-the-right/ by The Saker, whose work even Catherine Austin Fitts admires.
Apologies for the delayed response, but besides a busy life, it does take time to do the proper reading and research so one truly knows what they are talking about… since we are talking about burning, yes?
Kim Hirsch says: Fash the Nation — yep, it’s an alt-right, anti-Semitic, white nationalist pro-Nazi platform you’re promoting.
And you call ME an enemy of the Republic?
Get lost.
Marcela Cruz says: Your corrosive ideology subverts any possibility of intelligent discussion, Kim. You ARE lost. And clearly not worth any more of my time.
[…] Victory Girls Blog: James Mattis Burned Vladimir Putin. […]
Kathy says: Loved the article, Kim. James Mattis is a favorite subject and the positive approach was appreciated.
Dave Hunter says: No, no, no. Mattis is a great humanitarian and promoter of the Muslim faith. Just look how many jihadists and ordinary Muslims he has sent home to Allah!
rbj says: “bob sykes” is a Putin paid troll. It used to pollute Instapundit a lot (don’t know if it still does, have blocked him on disqus.)
Haven’t seen it here before, curious that it shows up on a post putting down Putin.
Good post. Mattis is the best SecDef in my lifetime. He is actually hostile to our enemies.
But Putin’s Russia did not invade “the Ukraine,” the Anglicized version of a Tsarist and then Soviet territory. Russia invaded Ukraine, an independent country that would ally itself with the West if it were allowed. This distinction is actually a big deal, as one version effectively denies Ukraine’s sovereignty and the other asserts it.
Marcela Cruz says: Charles, please do a bit of quality research to give greater strength to your argument. Putin’s Russia did not invade Ukraine. However, the U.S. (not her People, but the Military Industrial Complex aka The Deep State, which a true General warned American’s people about in his Farewell address) did instigate a coup of the democratically elected Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych in order to install the Deep State’s preference of the current utterly corrupt and unintelligent Poroshenko, who is murdering Ukraine’s people, among other sins.
