And he's already interviewed Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Regarding Putin's claim about helping the U.S. Achieve Independence. Perhaps Putin is alluding to Prussia. Prussia was centered around the region of East Prussia, which is now part of modern-day Poland and Russia. General Baron von Steuben was from Prussia. He was born in Madeburg, Prussia, which became part of the Russian Empire in 1795.

Cold War where they said they would destroy us was mighty friendly, Berlin Wall was mighty friendly, whatever Russia may or may not have done in the past has nothing to do with pitin and modern Russia

John Adams did send a delegation to Moscow to try to drum up support. The most notable aspect of this was that John Quincy Adams, age 14, was the secretary of the delegation, since he was the only one available who spoke and wrote fluent French.

However, the Russians declined to pony up any money.

Russia sent warships to US harbors in our Civil War to help fight the British Navy.
Russia is not our enemy, in fact, the EU is more a threat to the US than Russia will ever be.

“Putin revealed that he discussed his country’s role in helping America gain its independence during a phone call with President Trump…” Hmmm.

Great job of stalling by Putin. Let’s not talk about the war. Did you know Russia helped the US achieve independence?

Yeah…no one cares except the Russians here on FR.

Anything the Russians did in the 1700’s is moot. That was how many governments ago?

Russians today should stay in their lane. Or they should get droned.

Russia is one of the few countries not screwing us royally on trade since we don’t trade with the Russians.

Our “allies” are the ones REALLY shafting us ! America’s true friends repeatedly stab us in the FRONT !

Personally, I always thought they just wanted to take a piss in the Rhine River, in Germany.

What’s he talking about. Russia was an autocracy in 1776. They would have sided with England.

The Cold War was a very special time in our warm relationship.
Almost destroyed the earth.

This guy is funny.
