The Kremlin said on Thursday U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's foreign policy approach was "phenomenally close" to that of President Vladimir Putin, giving Russia hope that tattered U.S.-Russia relations could gradually be improved.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, speaking in New York, said he saw incredible similarities between the two men's foreign policy ideas, and this meant there was a solid basis to start a meaningful dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
Peskov, in the United States for a chess tournament, said he was struck by how similar parts of Trump's victory speech were to a speech Putin gave in southern Russia last month.

Well, he is not interested in all that crazy action that would get billions killed. So that is good right?
yup - Trump realizes the Cold War is over. We won.
As far as I am concerned the Russian’s perceiving Trump’s victory as a good thing and him having common ground with Putin is an incredibly GOOD THING!!! Isis are just a bunch of nasty pests compared to hundreds or thousands of nuclear war heads pointed our direction.
Domestic too, although Putin wants to MRGA.
You mean Trump will ruthlessly pursue policy in the interests of the USA like Putin pursues policy in the interests of Russia?
‘Bout darn time somebody did.
The Russkies have sure wasted no time making nice with our president-elect.
Great, I say! Russia is our competitor, not our enemy.
I wish I could agree that we won. The Cold War was our fight against world socialism. We just spent 8 years under a socialist president, and came within a hair’s breadth of electing another one. Our media is dominated by socialists. Our academia is dominated by socialists. Etc.
But you’re right that Russia ain’t our enemy.
Every sane person in the World cheered as well.
Doesn’t even have to be a competitor on a lot of things.
We have plenty of mutual interests. Like killing off ISIS f’instance.
So what if the Euroweenies don’t get their NG pipeline?
good point - it’s remarkable that socialism remains a viable ideology. One would think socialism would be as discredited as feudelism or absolutist monarchy
