WASHINGTON >> Russian President Vladimir Putin is giving a thumbs-up to president-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
In a brief statement Wednesday, the Kremlin said Putin has sent Trump a telegram to congratulate him on winning. Putin expressed “his hope to work together for removing Russian-American relations from their crisis state.”
Putin also says he has confidence that building a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington — one based on principles of equality, mutual respect and a real accounting each other’s positions — is in the interest of both nations and the world.
Trump has drawn criticism for repeatedly praising Putin’s leadership and advocating a closer working relationship with Russia despite its record of human rights abuses and recent military incursions in Ukraine and Syria.
Back in the Soviet Union.
No duh, he probably orchestrated it. Check for hacked voting systems. I still cannot believe these results.
Hopefully we can now get back on track to continue the efforts of the past 8 presidents before Barry. I really did not want to revisit the fears brought on by the cold war.
Birds of a feather.
Now… finally, the chances of Russia and U.S. working together, improves vastly.
