The opportunity is there to improve America-Russia relations. Does Trump have the temperament and savvy to take advantage of it? We’ll see. From Paul Craig Roberts at paulcraigroberts.org:
The New York Post reports that Russians are floating the idea of a “reset” with the US made possible by Trump’s election as President. Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund said that Trump’s “convincing victory shows that ordinary Americans are tired of the unprecedented lies, incompetence, and malice of the Biden administration. This opens up new opportunities for resetting relations between Russia and the United States.” https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/world-news/russia-floats-idea-of-reset-with-united-states-after-trump-declares-victory/
Trump and Putin are in favor of this, and so is the Russian media which is asking these kind of questions:
“What does the Trump administration mean for the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine? Do you think he will be able to broker a peace, or at least a ceasefire, in at least one of those conflicts?
“Do you expect the US to scale back its defense commitments in Europe under Trump? If so, will this create an opportunity for European countries to move ahead with some sort of of vision of collective security that does not rely on the US? Perhaps something in line with Macron’s proposals?
“Do you expect any changes in the US-NATO relations? Will the alliance’s new secretary general, Mark Rutte, be able to effectively deal with the Trump White House?”
My response is that these are relevant questions. Trump has these intentions. Does he have the means?
The Great Andrei M (H/T) has some killer maps and must have some connections.
He says 50,000 number is crap more like 32,000 and the Norks will slow down the advance, word is that they are wearing RF uniforms in their own units.
The lines show advance and UKES clear out or become KIA.
On (s)election aftermath Jon “Hot” Carl said Putin fears Trump which is LOL funny.
If they are talks don’t come in there with I’m the preezy of the steezy kiss my ring, those days are over.
Maybe understanding the Russian people is a good start for a reset with no Staples close out bin red button.
Andrei agrees with DJT JR. quote about keep WAR hawks out, listen to him and not Jarvanka.
