So much more than that. Trump wants to end the killing. Putin is speaking directly to the humanitarian as man to man. Massive understanding of Trump as a person. THAT is the way to brilliant diplomacy.

This sounds more like a rumor than an actual report, being that it is according to an unnamed source, with neither the Russians nor US officials commenting.

No, Putin is sticking a knife in Trump to get the Russiahoaxers excited again and validating their theories.

Call me crazy but I think the us could benefit from cooperation with Russia on a host of issues. They are a lot more oriented towards Christianity than the rest of the EU and are a natural Ally against China. I like the fact they won’t allow children to be adopted by Pro homosexual countries like the US.

If my mom had a rebellious Red son that had gone over to the dark side to fight for them, and a US diplomat came to the house to deliver an Order of Lenin...she would take the award and stick it so far up the deliverer’s backside that a surgeon would need both hands and a flashlight to find it again.

I have as much respect for someone fighting and dying for Russia as I do if they fought and died for Ukraine.

Useless. Stupid. Reminds me of St. Pancake.

Totally agree. And perhaps an agreement could have been reached in the early 1990s. But that ship has sailed. NATO has been provocative since then. And Putin has been sending tanks across sovereign borders.

Hard to reach an agreement when there are nothing but fools on each side.
