“The President-elect confirmed he is willing to normalize Russian-American relations. I told him the same. We did not discuss where and when we would meet”
Putin also told a news conference in Lima after the APEC summit that Russia is ready to freeze oil output at current levels.
Putin said he thanked Obama during Sunday’s meeting in Lima “for the years of joint work”.
“I told him that we would be happy to see him (Obama) in Russia anytime if he wants, can and has desire”, Putin said.
I hope we do make peace with Putin. There are four aspects which kind of go hand in hand.
1) Putin is bad. But he does not pose a threat to the USA. We gain nothing from Ukraine being western verse Russian
2) Putin is wicked but no mass murder. Does he imprison journalists and knock off opponents here & there? Yes. Do we commend such an approach. Absolutely not. In fact we condemn it in the strongest term. But is it wide scale? Is he sending millions of Ukrainian dissidents to the golug? Is the KGB walking around and scaring all Russian citzens? No. So there is no humanitarian crisis.
3) Whats worse ISIL who chops heads off on you tube, digs mass graves, kidnaps little children and tortures them, and blows up theaters world wide or is Russia worse?
4) This compliments 1 &2.&3 Can we win the war on Islamic terror ourselves? No I don’t think so. And we can surely use Russia’s help. So why not team up with them to defeat the greater enemy? When that’s done we can worry about the Russian crimes. If we teamed up with Stain to defeat Hitler we can team up with Putin.
What is the difference between TRump appeasements for Putin
and the Chamberlain’s appeasements???
People don’t study history.
