Trump and Putin vow to tackle ISIS together as they hold breakthrough talks

[toomuchtime_]

Yes, not even sworn in yet, and Putin has shown more respect to Trump, than the Manchurian muslim was able to garner in 8 years, and we are walking away from possible war with Russia, that the 2 digit IQ'd dimwit in the WH seemed to be setting us up on a collusion course....Has anyone seen the Obomanatoon REDLINE lately?...President Trump for the WIN!

President-elect Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin have vowed to tackle ISIS together after holding breakthrough talks on the telephone.

Less than a week after the billionaire’s election, the Kremlin said Putin called Trump yesterday to begin negotiations over how best to tackle to terrorism.

The Russian is reported to have said he ready for dialogue with the US “on the basis of mutual respect, non-intervention into each other’s internal affairs”.

According to the news agency Kremlin, Putin and Trump have agreed to “work to channel bilateral relationships into constructive cooperation, to combine efforts to tackle international terrorism and extremism, and to continue contact by telephone and to work towards meeting in person”.

Finally the US will have a sane Russia policy and the possibility will exist for the first time of agreements between the US and Russia to end the war in Syria and the conflicts in eastern Europe. Trump has not yet even taken office and already the world is in better shape because he won the election.

Of course ... as always, it's easier to say it than it is to do it.

The devil is in the details ...

This shouldn't be too hard to do. Putin wants to keep his military bases in Syria and for NATO to keep off of his borders. In fact, Gorbachev liberated the Soviet satellited states on the promise from Bush41 that the US would prevent them from joining NATO, but then Clinton rampaged into the WH fresh from chasing tail around the Ozarks and immediately had 12 of them join NATO, setting the stage for the deteriorating relations between the US and Russia. Trump will have to find a way to satisfy Putin's very real security concerns about NATO on its borders in the same way Bush41 did with Gorbachev to end the conflicts in eastern Europe.

There is room to negotiate. As long as Assad stays in office Russia will have its bases, but it is costing Russia more than it wants to spend in both blood and treasure to keep those bases. If the US were to back Russia's long term leases of the land the bases are on if Russia drops its support for Assad and agrees to help stabilize Syria once he is gone, everyone wins except Iran and the terrorists.

If Trump and Putin can establish a relationship of mutual trust and goodwill as Bush41 and Gorbachev did, the whole world will benefit.

Trump has an uncanny ability to make things happen. Once the guy sets his eye on a goal, he achieves it!
That's a quality I can respect.

Like the bankruptcy and closing of the Taj Mahal in New Jersey? Was that a good example of Trump's 'can do'?

Absoutely.
Trump is a smart guy. He knows how to make tough decisions. It's something he's been doing for many years.

Btw... thanks for asking.

I'll wait until The Groper Elect has a few meetings with the Military before coming to any conclusions. But then again maybe there are reasons the Groper Elect wants to dismantle the UN.

Russia, Iran plan $10bn arms supply to Tehran

The order book, discussed today, [reflects] the needs of Tehran and amounts to some $10 billion,” the head of the defense and security committee of the Russian upper house of parliament, Viktor Ozerov, told reporters on Monday during a parliamentary visit to Iran, as cited by TASS news agency.

He said the arms in question include T-90 tanks, artillery systems, and various aircraft. He added that the sides did not discuss a one-time delivery – rather a number of deliveries over years.

Ozerov also noted that until 2020, deliveries can only be made with the consent of the UN Security Council. The arms in question fall under a UN moratorium on Iran obtaining weapons, in force through October 2020. This means that if Tehran and another country agree on the supply of such products, either Tehran or the other country must seek permission for it at the UN Security Council. Ozerov noted that formally sanctions against Iran had been lifted, which made it possible for Russia to allow the delivery of S-300 air defense missile systems to the country in October.
