“No Proof”: Russia Dismisses Trump’s Baghdadi Victory Lap as Propaganda
Moscow is dismissing President Trump’s celebratory statements on the US special forces raid which allegedly killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as but premature ‘propaganda’.
Detailing some of the dismissive statements to come out of Russia hours following the major White House announcement of the terror’s leader’s death — or what’s become the Trump administration’s own “bin Laden moment” — The Daily Beast cites Russian state TV correspondent in the United States Denis Davydov as saying “Trump has elections coming up in a year and this announcement of al-Baghdadi’s liquidation will add some points for the Commander-in-Chief.”
And more provocative is that the Kremlin has even rejected the rare praise that Trump personally heaped upon its military for its cooperation in Baghdadi’s killing, as we noted previously. Trump said in his Sunday morning ‘victory’ speech: “[The Russians] were very cooperative, they really were good… Russia treated us great. They opened up, we had to fly over certain Russia areas, Russia-held areas. Russia was great.”
However, Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, shot back soon after the praise, stating in part: “The Russian Defense Ministry has no reliable information about U.S. servicemen conducting an operation for ‘yet another’ elimination of the former Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in the Turkish-controlled part of the Idlib de-escalation zone.” The Kremlin has rejected the assertion that it had any kind of involvement in the “daring nighttime raid,” as the White House describes it.
