Donald Trump is planning to hold a summit with Vladimir Putin within weeks of becoming president — emulating Ronald Reagan’s Cold War deal-making in Reykjavik with Mikhail Gorbachev.

Trump and his team have told British officials that their first foreign trip will be a meeting with the Russian leader, with the Icelandic capital in pole position to host the superpower talks as it did three decades ago.

NEWS FLASH: From Putin’s own lips: “Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century.”

Yes. The way it was mishandled was a disaster, it was a missed opportunity by the Bush and Clinton administrations.

Reykjavik is where Regan met with Gorbachev on nuke talks as the soviets were in decline.

Don’t know if Putin will agree to the location.

NEW FLASH: USSR is long gone. Russia is no longer communist, no longer atheist. TIMES CHANGE.

Get over it.

Absolutely. Sadly, it’s Putinist Russia that dreams of former glory of the COLD WAR USSR. Western democracies long ago “moved on” from the Cold War.

KGB Vlad is a great Christian. Particularly when he is dumping the mother of children to shack up with a gymnast 30 years his junior. Then there is the fact that Russia has one of the highest abortion rates in the world. How Christian of them.

But I see you don’t let facts in the way of a good Putinist Russia loving day dream.
