Putin on Trump victory: Russia is ready to restore relations with US
https://www.rt.com/news/365966-putin-trump-congratulates-victory/

“We heard [Trump's] campaign rhetoric while still a candidate for the US presidency, which was focused on restoring the relations between Russia and the United States,” President Putin said.

According to many observers, US-Russia relations are now at their lowest point since the Cold War. Putin has repeatedly noted that the worsening of Russia’s relations with the US“was not our choice,” however.

[Putin] has also expressed hope that Trump’s victory in the presidential election will help pave the way for a more constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
Putin has expressed confidence that “building a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington [… .] meets the interests of the peoples of our countries and of the entire international community.”

I found it odd that the left in this country were silent when their favorite Soviet (Gorbachev) criticized Hillary saying we were closer to WW3 than ever before.

Did he not get the Podesta memo that narrative was Trump= Madman , Hillary = Savior of the world?

Hear hear.

Imagine any of our western poltroons making as much sense.

Putin has Trump right where he wants him, believing an ex-KGB officer who was a card carrying Communist actually wants good relations with the US. All Putin wants is to bomb the US and turn our country into a radioactive waste land.

Absolutely true.
The manner in which the former US leaders were trying to escalate the NATO - Russia conflict and push the Syrian conflict beyond it's borders, Europe was like a high speed train heading towards full collision.

I wonder if Trump will live up to his pre-electoral promisses, tho.

 

[Liar]

Nope. Just like ISIS, he don't care either which way about the US. He just want to use the US to pursue Russia's local geopolitical interest. A strong and united NATO and likewise EU are an obstacle to that.

A weak and easily manipulated US president is just what he always wanted.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

the funny thing is ... obama is a socialist. however, obama is mentally defective and I'm sure Putin wasn't able to reason with him. just look at how obama fucked up the middle east. clearly, that obama has no leadership skills

That won't work out so well for the Russians either.

Putin just wants us not to interfere with his regional goals. Good relations with the U.S. that are completely on his terms are certainly possible, since all he'll have to do to get his way is flatter Trump once in a while.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

No realpolitik going on in this discussion, no mention of the Russian Naval base, no mention of no-fly zones, no mention of the Obama backing of radical jihadists to fight a guy who was keeping the peace...,





AGAIN!!!

Sadly for him, Obama could not run again.

ANOTHER RT article about Trump's pre-election comments about Russia:


Russia-US ties ‘the default victim’ in every US election – Kremlin spokesman
https://www.rt.com/news/366482-peskov-putin-trump-russia/


"This presidential election in the US has been remarkably hostile towards Russia, but there’s hope in Moscow that President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump will mend the rift after finding common ground, a Kremlin spokesman said.
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are "very much alike ... in their basic approaches toward international affairs," Dmitry Peskov told the Associated Press, adding that both leaders put their respective countries first and both said they were ready to make sure the US and Russia have good relations."

This is starting to look odd, actually.
Rt have been uploading all these articles quoting Trump's pre-election comments about wanting better relationships with Russia as opposed to the hostile NATO military exercises.

I wonder if it's their way of forcing Trump to live up to his own words, in case it all turns out to have been just bullshit talk in order to get elected.

Will Russia pull out of Ukraine and un-occupy The Crimea?

Will they stop threatening the Baltic States?

Will they stop bombing civilians in Aleppo and work towards a peaceful resolution in Syria?

If so, restoring relations with Russia might be a reasonable thing to do.

1.Will Russia pull out of Ukraine and un-occupy The Crimea?
?

Fair enough. Although:

"Crimea :
Its southern fringe was colonised by the ancient Greeks, the ancient Romans, the Byzantine Empire, the Crimean Goths, the Genoese and the Ottoman Empire, while at the same time its interior was occupied by a changing cast of invading steppe nomads, such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Goths, Alans, Bulgars, Huns, Khazars, Kipchaks, and the Golden Horde. Crimea and adjacent territories were united in the Crimean Khanate during the 15th to 18th century.

In 1783, Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Crimea became an autonomous republic within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the USSR, though later, during World War Two, it was downgraded to the Crimean Oblast.

In 1954, the Crimean Oblast was transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, by Nikita Khrushchev in order to bolster the "unity of Russians and Ukrainians"

2.Will they stop threatening the Baltic States?

Could you please ellaborate on that?

3.Will they stop bombing civilians in Aleppo and work towards a peaceful resolution in Syria?
If so, restoring relations with Russia might be a reasonable thing to do.

You're kidding, are you?

They aren't in Ukraine and Crimea held a popular vote to rejoin the Russian Federation, numb nuts.

Russia is not 'threatening the Baltic states'.

Is there any establishment propaganda you don't swallow whole?

Never a truer word spoken. Putin will be happy that he now has Trump to achieve this goal for him.
