Putin Won’t Congratulate ‘Unfriendly’ Trump on Winning Election, Says Kremlin
Breitbart ^ | Nov. 6, 2024 | Oliver JJ Lane

Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t join the chorus of global leaders congratulating Donald Trump on his historic election win, his spokesman stating U.S.-Russian relations are “at their lowest point in history”.

Political leaders from across Europe sent letters of congratulations to once and future President Donald Trump on Wednesday, some out of a sense of genuine pleasure and others in a bid at damage control, but the Kremlin says President Vladimir Putin takes no pleasure from the news.

I actually look on this as a favorable development. If Trump is to do successful business with Putin neither man can afford to have all sorts of “Russian collusion” garbage being disseminated by the Democrats. Thus, it's to the advantage of each to appear more adversarial than they might actually be. Indeed, there is a giveaway at the end of the article, FTA:

"Contrary to the Kremlin’s public aloof position on the Trump victory today, British newspaper The Times cites a Russian opposition news site to claim Putin and allies had already, in fact, secretly congratulated Trump in private."

Of course the leftists will just say that Putin is just saying that to throw people off.

Like all Alt Left “new sites” they simply lie in the mistaken notion it advances their political agenda

Trump is American 1st. Putin is Russia 1st. The notion they are secret allies has been toughly proven to be a shameless lie manufactured by the Clinton campaign in 2016

There is a great global realignment in opposition to the Deep State Cabal (DSC). Putin is indeed in step with DJT on this issue. Putin fighting the DSC in Ukraine, in BRICS (follow not just the money, but REAL money) and in Russia as well. DJT fighting the DSC in the USofA.

“I actually look on this as a favorable development. If Trump is to do successful business with Putin neither man can afford to have all sorts of “Russian collusion” garbage being disseminated by the Democrats.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump’s people asked Putin not to congratulate him. They want Trump to appear as a fair middleman, rather than a spokesman for Moscow’s demands.

What if Trump gives him a big red “reset” button and a lollipop?

Shitlery’s idea of negotiations. What a disgusting loser.

Lol. This is for the media. Maybe Trump sent a secret message asking Putin not to congratulate him.

Now that the Biden Crime Family is exiting the White House, and their 'business' interests and Joe's over-inflated ego are no longer driving official US policy, I suspect the war (or at least US intervention in the war) will be concluded in short order...

Maybe Putin won’t congratulate, but he’ll be kissing Trump’s ass within three months. And it’ll be delicious.

That is a good guess, President Trump has all the cards in his hand, all of them.

It would hurt Trump if Putey gushed all over him. Soon Putey will be dickering terms with Trump over ending the Ukraine campaign.
