Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists on Friday that a meeting with his United States counterpart Donald Trump is "quite possible."
"I'm always open to contact and meetings ... We would be happy to prepare for it," the Russian head of state asserted, calling Trump a "courageous man" and praising his efforts in relation to ending the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.
Putin once again criticized the Western countries for their behavior toward Russia, calling it "aggressive." He stressed that his country was "betrayed" by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as the alliance is expanding even though there were promises that it wouldn't move "an inch eastward."

“At this rate, Trump will have to start buying lithium, rare earths from Vlad. “
LOL!
Lithium Reserves:
Ukraine plus Russia: 1.5 Mt
USA: 14 Mt
I wouldn’t doubt it. They keep *saying* they want peace, but neither of them really does. Greed also drives a lot of that. Putin wants to grab as much land as he can and Zelensky wants countries (mostly ours) to keep feeding him “mah-ney.”
Putin can come to DC. Enough of Trump traveling to these third world dictatorships.
“Ukraine’s lithium mine that Vlad acquired is a producing operation. $$$. If, as he
does with his huge energy market, discounts it China and Russia will hold the lion’s share.”
Lithium Reserves: Russia+Ukraine+China = 4.5 Mt
USA = 14 Mt
Good input, thanks. Will be watching with interest.

Some foolish ones are posting how much the rare earths the US “ has”, unfortunately they are buried in the ground, at least five years to producing. Better to have a bird in hand, than ten in the bush….if we “ have “ so much, why are we buying it all from China? …and making deals with Ukraine? Watch.
Russia is self sufficient, and has much of what the West needs….we all remember our reliance on Russian uranium.
"Lithium bloop, blopp bloop bloppd mining a bloopity bloop bloop blopp. Putlim putlim Bloop."You post the dumbest shit, you say the dumbest shit. I'd call you the dumbest, shittiest Freeptard in Free Republic history, but you're not a Freeper, you're just an ordinary old troll. ESAD.
Thank you for the compliment. They are few and far between since being convicted of losing $700,000,000 in my failed ponzi scheme.
Dig deep my friends, always read the fine print,
“As the past year drew to a close, the US House of Representatives passed legislation that would ban the purchase of enriched Russian uranium for use in American nuclear reactors — a measure meant to hobble Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation, which is actively participating in Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, which was approved by voice vote, would bar Russian uranium imports 90 days after enactment while allowing a temporary waiver until January 2028…..

2028? The war will be over by 2028…..and hopefully we will be back to trading with Russia by then..
Russia and China do not tolerate men in woman’s locker rooms, Transxyz’s in every government agency, men in woman’s sports, gay “marriage”, destruction of the family, gender surgical operations, etc, etc….
I stand by my comment. The facts speak for themselves.
“2028? The war will be over by 2028…..and hopefully we will be back to trading with Russia by then..”
You said the USA would break up into four new countries in 2026.
Do you anticipate any of the four merging?
“Free Republic history, but you’re not a Freeper, you’re just an ordinary old troll. “
He is either:
Martin Armstrong, the convicted scammer trolling for suckers willing to send him $150 a month, or
A shill for Armstrong, the convicted scammer trolling for suckers willing to send him $150 a month.
I go with the first. He has not and will not deny it.
Ordinary? LOL! How many trolls here have spent eleven years in the federal pen after their $3 billion ponzi scheme went broke?
Russia bought Uranium from the US and Hillary’s Clinton.
Russia is rich in resources. They are so corrupt and incompetent that they cannot seem to make it work for them.
That will be good for whomever comes in next to take it from them.
I stand by my comment. The facts speak for themselves."
You posted the same dumb trolling boilerplate on every thread. Here's June 15:
"Russia and China are not buying into boys in girls locker rooms, gay marriage, destruction of the family, men in woman’s sports, unchecked illegal immigrations, etc, etc…….yes, I stand by my statement."
How far are you getting on 500 rubles a day? Have you ever thought about telling your handlers you don't have to do this? Maybe go outside and get run over by a Moskva MCC transfer bus?
I have proven you are full of shit, you are merely repeating what you have been told rather than do any research, you are a homer for Putlim myths, you have the attention span of Joe Biden, and a masochistic streak for public humiliation a mile wide, make that a kilometer wide, comrade ... as I have posted this facts-matter smackdown in response again and again and again...
"Russia legalized homosexuality in 1993, literally 10 YEARS before the US did so in Lawrence v. Texas. And China is quickly becoming a haven for trannies."Until 1993 consensual anal intercourse between adult males was punishable under Article 121.1 of the Russian Federation criminal code by imprisonment of up to five years. Lesbian relations were not criminalised.Under strong pressure from Western public opinion and in order to obtain a place in the Council Europe, Russian President Boris Yeltsin also followed this line [of revoking anti-homosexual legislation] and Article 121.1 was repealed as part of a wide-ranging reform law that he signed on April 29 1993."
And as for the Chin-lee... The CCP officially decriminalized homos in 1997 and removed them from their standard book of mental disorders in 2001 (again, before the US). The CCP approved civil marriages of homos via yiding jianhu ("guardianship appointment") in 2017. There are so many trannies and choppadik centers in Beijing and HK and Shanghai you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. The PLA Military General Hospital in Beijing performs bottom and top surgery!"
I'm sure derper7 kept up his monthly donations to FR while he was indisposed LOFL.
Done with you, derper. Get gone or be gone.
“you are merely repeating what you have been”
You underestimate him.
He is trolling b for suckers willing to pay $150 a month for his worthless Socrates reports.
It must be working, at least enough to cover his lost time and FR donations to keep him from being zotted.
“The facts speak for themselves.”
China transgender clinic deals with ‘visitors’ as it embraces country’s 4 million people with body dissatisfaction
Medical methods include hormone therapy, surgery, and voice therapy.
In the seven years since the clinic opened, Pan and his team have faced opposition, questioning and the difficulties of dealing with the families of visitors.
I like TexasGator. I like StAnDeliver.
That means I don’t like you, delta7.

Yep. Not a surprise the godless confucian scumbag CCP decades ago made a business decision not to lose this business -- both inside China and tourist -- to Thailand, where gravely, unfortunately, factory-line amputation was perfected.
Now if FR would simply amputate derper7, we could all breathe clean, luxurious, Trumptastic, troll-free air...
That means I don’t like you, delta7
