Vice President Mike Pence and
National Security Advisor John Bolton were seen shaking hands and chatting with
Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in
Singapore.

Via Zerohedge…
Forget the All-Blacks ‘Haka’, ignore
Foreman-Frasier, Drago-Balboa, and Ortiz-Liddell, the honor of the greatest (or
perhaps most awkward) staredown in history now goes to US Vice President Mike
Pence…
Having been blamed for everything
from Trump’s election victory to USA soccer team’s loss to England last week,
Russia faced accusations all weekend and was reportedly confronted by the US
contingent over “meddling.”
As The Sun reports, Pence and Putin “discussed the upcoming G20
Summit and touched on the issues that will be discussed when President
Trump and President Putin are both in Argentina for the summit,” according to
the vice president’s press secretary, Alyssa Farah.
An NBC reporter tweeted: “New per the @VP’s Office—> The VP’s office says
Vice President Pence directly addressed Russian meddling in the 2016 election
in a conversation with Vladimir Putin on Thursday in Singapore.
“The conversation took place
following the plenary session this afternoon at ASEAN.”
But, it was the following clash of
the titans that caught most people’s attention.
As the Russian president joined the
that Pence shook Putin’s ‘deadly’ hand, met his ‘steely KGB-trained’ gaze, and
desperately tried not to smile or blink for 20 seconds as Putin appeared to
chat amicably with the US VP…
While Putin has (if his accusers are
to be believed) grappled his opponents to death with his bare hands (remember
he is a sinister KGB agent and jiu-jitsu expert); we suspect the only thing VP
Pence has gripped tightly in his hands is his bible.
Sadly, John Bolton then blew the
tough guy act (or is he Mike Pence’s ‘good cop’) as he does his best impression
of a teenage girl meeting their popstar idol for the first time…
