A high-level diplomatic meeting between USA and Russia has not happened in more than three years. The first goal was to figure out how to talk to each other again, what processes to use and what the consultation mechanism would be for when peace negotiations would begin. That ‘deconfliction’ goal seems to have been achieved.
Additionally, in a very positive sign, both the USA team and the Russian team agreed to return to normal embassy operations, in diplomatic speak “missions,” in both Moscow and Washington DC, that includes staffing support to reestablish contacts and communications. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff spoke to reporters after their meeting with the Russian delegation in Saudi Arabia.
Pay close attention to the specific words Marco Rubio uses at 14:40 of the video, in the bigger of the big pictures, that is the goal of President Trump and President Putin. WATCH:
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – […] The U.S. team was led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. The Russian negotiating delegation included Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the U.S. team agreed to establish “a consultation mechanism to address irritants to our bilateral relationship with the objective of taking steps necessary to normalize the operation of our respective diplomatic missions.” Rubio told the Associated Press the two sides agreed to restore embassy staffing as part of this normalization.
The two sides also agreed to appoint “high-level teams to begin working on a path to ending the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible in a way that is enduring, sustainable and acceptable to all sides,” Bruce said, plus to “lay the groundwork for future cooperation on matters of mutual geopolitical interest and historic economic and investment opportunities which will emerge from a successful end to the conflict in Ukraine.”
“The parties to today’s meetings pledge to remain engaged to make sure the process moves forward in a timely and productive manner,” Bruce added. (read more)
I love the smell of MAGA in the morning!
Game-on Norm Eisen, where’s Lawfare suit to stop normalization of diplomatic missions and relations between America and Russia?? LOL.
How much more evidence needs to be revealed to realize the enemy is the one within?
Unfortunately for maybe 30% of the US population, there will never be enough evidence that any policy or project advocated and undertaken by President Trump is worthy or beneficial to the U.S. and often, the world.
Personally, IMO that 30% must be ignored and kept behind a fence until they awaken to the reality that false assertions and blatant hypocrisy are strewn throughout Democrap / progressive disinformation propaganda platforms.
I’m sure some radical district court judge has contacted his pals and told them to file a TRO in his court based on the belief that the president doesn’t determine U.S. foreign policy, judges do.
Mr.Witkoff….will chew ass of Norm Eisen….
This was brilliant:
Complaining about lack of EU representation, Ursula von der Leyen has claimed Europe has contributed more “financially and militarily” to Ukraine than anyone else.
Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko has emphasized that in reality the EU has canceled itself, and that’s why it’s not a trustworthy partner to negotiate peace, or be in the room. He pointed to the EU’s repeatedly stated desire to “inflict a strategic defeat on Russia,” stressing that “this rules out any role for the EU and European countries in the upcoming negotiations to resolve the conflict in and around Ukraine.”
‘Successful’ US-Russia Talks Conclude After 4+ Hours, With No Ukraine Or EU Reps
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/successful-us-russia-talks-conclude-after-4-hours-no-ukraine-or-eu-reps
Ursula and the Euro-Weenies were dismissed, they’ve cancelled themselves.
Boy did he nail it with that statement.. they’ve cancelled themselves alright- good and hard too.
Absolutely Sundance.
It’s a pretty lonely place to be when one is ‘cancelled’ Europe is figuring out- and yet they’ve done this to themselves, entirely.
Which is essentially exactly what VP Vance just told them straight to their faces!
Let them heat their homes with cake now..
Yes. Russia is pro-traditional values, anti-Sodom and Gomorrah, pro-economic trading, and pro-nationalism.
Western Europe is one giant blue state full of weak white men and Muslims.
True, but you are only talking about the people in charge and the percentage of idiots that have hindered our own country for decades.
The majority of the people of Western Europe are no different than us.
If this is true the people of Western Europe must follow the US and vote in adults to lead them.
It’s not true.
“The majority of the people of Western Europe are no different than us.”
Maybe, however a large portion think like Greta.
I’ll take the bet on how actually large that portion is.
We’ve already seen in under a month how ridiculously exaggerated, not to mention pumped up by corrupt stolen money, we were led to believe that percentage of leftist poison actually is here.
My guess: Someday, and maybe soon, all of the EU will wake up to learn sundance’s great and oh so simple insight:
They will realize: There are more of us than there are of them.
I read you but western & central Europe and Scandinavia have been romancing hardcore Socialism for many decades. It isn’t a small minority over there.
Germany recoiled from the National Socialists (Nazis) after WWII and they went hard towards “democratic socialism. Their AfD party (nationalist conservatives, somewhat like MAGA) still only make up 25% to 30% of the elected government.
Agreed GB Bari and after so many decades, they’ve turned into Poodles.
THIS is something critical to understand..
My friend married a Brit. (when she was young and dumb she said) and then spent two decades living in the UK as a young and mouthy American..
She told me that “the men carry their wives purses for them”.. and this was back in the 80s !!
She described an extremely emasculated male population and we’re talking about conversations we had well over 20 years ago–It’s far worse now.
These people don’t have what it takes now at this point to fight their way out the corner they’ve put themselves in- AGAIN.
Many smart people say Europeans are suicidal and I’ve always believed this, watching their actions and their failure to self correct.
Also interesting that AfD absolutely dominates what was formerly known as East Germany.
Yep. They seen real communism up close and personal. They want no part of any more totalitarianism.
Keep in mind that the Europe we all knew no longer exists. It currently experiences the beginning of a transition to an Islamist population and majority.
saadly…there is lots of folks in the Europe who thinks same as dems….
Also, there are a lot of Americans on the East and West coasts who are completely dems/europeans in thoughts and actions. Unfortunately
And there are a lot of us who aren’t.
The people of Western Europe are VERY different from us.
They are tolerant, we are not.
We have not tolerated at all what they have attempted to do to us here in our own country..
The Western Europeans have absolutely caved to them.. one only has to look at Hungary to see what not caving looks like over there.
Americans like loud music, big vehicles, Biggie sized everything and McMansions.
The damn fools should have known that our trip through Socialism would be a short one.
This is the direction that the YS has needed to take since the Berlin wall came down and the Soviet Union broke up. For far too long Russia has been the “Boogie man” of the world, when in reality they have made incredible efforts to improve and avoid conflict. After all we were allies in WWII. Russia or the Soviet Union never invaded us. Japan did, Germany did. We rebuilt their nations and established amazing economic partnerships (perhaps to big).
I think it would be fantastic to have Russia partner with the US. It could bring much needed stability and economic growth for everyone involved.
Putin has been seen wearing the cross of Christ. Perhaps that is what really scares the world.

Meanwhile, b o, brandon, bishop McCarrick, since 2009

Thank you!
Thank heroes like Vigano for speaking out…
Vigano knows the truth about the Vatican and his writings are absolute fire.
The Hermitage is on my bucket list.
Mine too. As a student of architecture, I would love to see Russia along with all the castles and cathedrals of Europe… before they are destroyed. The architecture of Russia had a strong Muslim influence (turnip domes, and arches) until they were pushed back. They left the structures which is a blessing of sorts
Absolutely yes. The Soviet Union proved to be, however, NO friend even during WWII. But non-Bolshevik Russia was and, hopefully, will be again the natural friend of the USA since neither nation has interests that seriously conflict but rather enjoy mutual similar interests as nation states.
Keyword being *non-bolshevik”.
Exactly. They are the prime example of what” spreading the wealth around” results in. Absolutely enjoying every minute of their hubris coming home to roost!
Good post. Vance told them their enemy was within, not without.
From the looks of what Doge has been digging up, there is a dangerous enemy within the U.S.
Uh – this is news?
Enjoy the ride!
Hey, what about all those lovely guns and bombs from which we were making a fortune in kickbacks?
How do you expect us to become millionaires on a taxpayer/government salary – have a heart – who wants peace.
Which also implies improvement in the relationship with Russian ally, China. It seems almost inevitable, given US retrenchment and an end to imperial ambitions, that we are on the verge of a new global security architecture predicated on the multipolar cooperation among great powers.
I think “a strategic partnership” is an attempt to pull Russia away from its alliance with China and Iran….
Never happen.
I disagree castelletto.
There are MANY Moves that China could make that would make it happen..
China just helped Russia win the war against Ukraine, and Russia just signed a defense pact with Iran. Trump is not foolish enough to think he can interfere with those alliances, and he doesn’t need to. Russia will keep Iran from getting out of line, and he wants a fair but profitable relationship with China. No point in spoiling those relationships. Divide and conquer has no function here.
Belle is not going happen after 34 yrs lies of WEST toward RUSSIA…..
Very well stated!
“A strategic partnership, geopolitically and economically, between the USA and Russia. That’s the Trump goal.
The fear within that alignment is why Europe is freaking out!”
Exactly. That’s also very likely the reason why good and decent Ukrainians and other Europeans who still loathe and fear Russia, are freaking out, as well.
They believe that this will lead to Ukraine going under the wheels of the bus, and when they see people chortling with glee over the idea of the UK president, being left out of negotiations, this only increases their fears.
Rubio’s careful language about including all parties and “acceptable to all” is somewhat helpful in assuaging these legitimate concerns.
Ukraine could have avoided this dust-up by simply not trying to become part of NATO. They knew that was a red line for Putin and should be well-understood by Americans after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Okay so you believe that it is their own fault that they were invaded by Russia, which you see as a “dust-up”.
Many Ukrainians do not see it that way.
Many Ukrainians hate anything to do with Russia, many don’t.
The thing is, we don’t live there, do we?
Well Clarion. It was their fault. Are you really pretending not to know things? What happened in 2014, with Samantha Power, and and State Dep, and Obozo’s regime? What did they do to stoke tensions? Maidan ring a bell?
Come on now, sheesh! Here of all places? Really?
I didnt think that here, of all places, that would be a debate.
The Nazi Azov’s were shelling the Donbas, killing innocents, and mostly Russian speaking people. This is not up for debate.
Also, they broke the agreements, and promises, made to Russia, for NATO not to encroach on Russia’s borders. Also, not up for debate.
These are facts.
Putin warned them over and over. Also a fact. They didnt stop, they kept breaking their word. Again, not up for debate. This is fact.
👍 And Russia repeatedly said Ukraine could not join NATO because that would put NATO on Russia’s door. Putin made that crystal clear.
Russia ‘invaded’ Russia.
The NATO invaded the Ukraine.
o.0
That’s BS, millions upon millions of Ukrainians loved the Russians before Obama and Biden started this nonsense. The Ukrainians and Russians are practically family.
Ukraine could have avoided this dust-up by simply not trying to become part of NATO.
True about the NATO, Miss Joan.
Ukraine could also have avoided the conflict by NOT manufacturing ethnic-target bioweapons and other germ warfare agents, by NOT operating baby farms, by NOT making organ and human trafficking their largest industry, by NOT being a drug and arms hub, by NOT being a money laundering cesspool for globalists.
And doing all the other evil things some people choose to ignore.
The Ukraine is D-O-N-E.
And normal people do not care about wokey-whiners and their boo-hoo fears.
o.0
The ideology of Globalist Fascism that has held European governments in an intellectual straitjacket has been demonstrated to be a road to nowhere. Now those same government officials who wallowed in it are terrified of a future without it because they have no idea what it might look like. But the signs are everywhere that a post-globalist future is one of freedom, of families, communities, Christian faith and morals, one of nations both competing and cooperating within the boundaries that come from that internailized morality. The signs really are everywhere. Information is out there. They just have to let it in.
Those European leaders must now decide whether they want to participate in this renewed future, or be relegated to being little more than a historical theme park, a Disney Euroworld, good for little more than a pleasant summer vacation.
Trapper, it’s worth noting that Canada is in the very same position you’ve described that Europe is in.
AND Canada has, just as Europe has- fallen to such a degree that Donald Trump sees statehood with us as a viable path OUT for the Canadian people.
Like VP Vance told them, Europe is rotting from within and at this point, it’s in our own best interest to stand back and watch them wither on the vine.. because that is just exactly what IS Happening.
Yes.
It is up to Europe to Make Europe Great Again.
I for one pray that they also kick out the WEF-inspired corruption and do exactly that.
I’m old – would love to see it.
The next election in Canada, short of serious cheating, will see the Conservatives mop the floor with all the others.
People are fed up with this BS.
Whether PP is the man for the job, remains to be seem.
Change is coming.
I agree, but worry about if they can get it done.
The desire is there, but can the people get it done? (recall how their trucker uprising was put down)
I’m quite worried about a Chrystia Freeland installation.
During the Cold War, Europe’s paramount fear was less about threat of Soviet invasion and more about what we are witnessing in real time: the U.S. and Russia negotiating a deal over the heads of Europe dictating new security arrangements to Europe’s benefit or detriment as the case may be.
We are witnessing epic, rapid-fire events in real time. PDJT is literally moving the world in the direction he wants it to go.
Let that sink in.
He’s moving it in the direction of freedom plus responsibility.
Taken together, those two can save Europe.
EU can buddy up with Biden’s and democrats’ favorite, China.
In one short month, Trump has curtailed China’s incursion into our hemisphere, creating one contiguous “American” shoreline around all of North America from Panama in the south all the way around the polar region, around Greenland, and back down to Panama.
Now that the US has energy supplies in abundance, Russia and the US are pretty much on even terms and can cooperate holding China in the balance. EU can build windmills ’til the cows come home and enjoy their petty tyrants. Carry on EU, prosecute those mean memes – you’ve got “important work” to do – right this very minute in Germany, some thought criminal is about to push the “send” key on a mean meme about Ursula – go get ’em!!
Russia and the USA have partnered successfully before. And Trump strategically can see that happening again in the future. Europe’s Elite wants to keep fighting up to and including to a Nuclear War, but I see no appetite in the European people, nor the average Brit.
The China issue will be a difficult one to stick handle. Russia is not going to want to be seen abandoning her current ally.
What is good on establishing of communication they also “set up” “mechanism ” so talks/negotiations will continue. ..despite scream of UNIPARTY/GLOBALISTS/NEOCONS/KHAZARS/MSM …….
This is SO good!!!
“A strategic partnership, geopolitically and economically, between the USA and Russia. That’s the Trump goal.”
That might be great when Russia quits ‘waring’ and rebuilds Ukraine, it was theirs before they broke it. The talk of US/Russian partnership seems premature, maybe it’s like Trump and North Korea, taming the beast mode, in the end nothing changed for the Korean peninsula.
Too bad Trump isn’t 20 years younger and could serve 3 terms because whoever runs in 2028 should continue Trumps policies, maybe Trump can influence the next decades president and foreign policy, it would be much better than Obama’s influences.
Its excellent news! We currently have more in common with Russia, than Europe. I hope Europe is happy with their road most traveled. All of those blessings belong to Obama, and Biden. I hope Europe still loves them LMFAO! Canadian freak leader, Macron with his pedophile tranny “wife”, Starmer the weak pervert. Lol loooooooooooooooool
I’m off to pick salad for lunch!
There also the Fabian’s in UK that have a long history of subversion.
Epic, we have adults in charge….
Who are there not because of immutable characteristics or fulfilling their personal whimsical fantasies. The Russians must have breathed a sigh of relief at the absence of rainbow badges and declarations of personal pronouns from the US side.
Cautiously optimistic…we seem to have a pretty good foreign policy team carrying the President’s message abroad. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looks like an effective and mutually beneficial reset was accomplished without a red button.
I see what you did there, ma’am!
i give PT a bonus round of kudos on lil marco.
he obviously saw something in rubio that could be effective and very useful in this situation.
i thought PT was just getting him out of the way – turns out marco’s earning his paycheck big time.
if rubio stays in his lane, he will go a long way towards atoning for his past misalignments.
“i love it when a plan comes together!” 😁

Zelensky doesn’t seem to understand that as the smallest person in the room, he’s in no position to be calling the shots.
We’re at the point here where he’s being told to go sit down and shaddup- yet still he’s trying to bite their ankles.
‘Zelensky – as the smallest person in the room, he’s in no position to be calling the shots.’
Short people got no reason…
lol
yeah but they back loudest
I’m envisioning a weird Al W. Zelensky parody.

Yes 👍….Off Newmans “Little Criminals” album. …Does it get any better than that?😂😅🤣

Euro leaders must be in on the money laundering, they are trying to keep him relevant.
Possibly nudge from china & soro also
i said it the other day.i believe this was one of the main reasons for the EU.one currency” the euro” to make it easier to launder the money.no more pesky currency exchanges that might ask about all that money and need to report it.
Total flawed system from the get go. Margaret Thatcher called decades ago. They have a central bank but know Treasury or taxing authority. Therefore, currency flows to the successful countries to the detriment of the less or unsuccessful countries. Not to mention countries like Germany benefit significantly as an export economy exchanging in weaker euros vs the deutsch mark.
Direct Communication is the key to any agreement. If both sides want the same big thing enough then they’ll look for a way to give concessions on the smaller things. There just can’t be too many small concessions.
This is great news, Russia does not need to be our enemy. The cold war ended 35 years ago but the US has never moved forward into the modern era. We should ally with Russia, open up trade and cooperation and end all of the military hostility which isn’t necessary.
Greenland is a nice central location that bypasses the EU completely.
So is the Bering Sea.
If British Columbia were to become the 51st state …..
The reason for the stagnation has been twofold. The neocons here and in England, who began pillaging Russia in the 1990’s as part of a long-term imperial plan to capture her resources and extend the empire, and the European banking elite that we know as the WEF crew that sent us Obama and the clot shot and had their own plan to take over the world.
Trump’s win was the defeat of both, so the resistance to what the world needs now has evaporated.
Trump’s win was the defeat of both, so the resistance to what the world needs now has evaporated.
This is not quite like this though.
It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that there is A Narrative and then there is REALITY.
Don’t underestimate the resistance to Donald Trump, which is on a global scale.
Many our own elected Republicans are not even falling right into line since he’s won- even as big as this win was, they still have not.
There is a divide within our own party, Congress is largely not even onboard with us.
So it’s pretty premature right now to think Trump’s win has defeated anything at al– nevermind on the global stage.
All that we won here was the right to sit in the drivers seat for the battle, and that fight has only just begun.
Precisely what pres.Reagan would like after end of “evil empire” but shrubs/clinton/hussein/fjb did not allow it…..and create new evil emp……

Who is this new guy Marco Rubio?
He’s palatable.
More than palatable…impressive. Maybe he was dirty with his connection to the Senate Intel Committee and was given a way out. Or, perhaps he wasn’t as dirty as we all thought and he found a way to get on the right side of things (MAGA). Either way, he has been the lead on some amazing moves by Trump and he looks like he really believes in what we are trying to do here. Little Marco may have finally lost that nickname!
Or maybe he went underground as all good sleeper cell agents do.
“The best camouflage is sheeps clothing” said the wolf.
Secretary Rubio was shown the future after meetings in Mar-a-Lago.
Potential for a bright, bright sunshiny day!
PDJT has relieved Marco of the burden of what has been, freeing him to pursue our forgiveness for past political betrayals.
Leadership is contagious.
So was Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador.
For a period of time.
very much under VSGPDJT”S observation……
I think Rubio doesn’t have core principles, like most politicians, and sides with those he believes will be most beneficial to his career. At one time, he thought the uniparty was his best bet. He’s woken up and seen that America First is the future so now he’s with us. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
People don’t understand that they must have meeting ahead of the “real” one. This is one where many issues will be prioritized, some discarded. The thing that screams, “The adults are in charge and you’re not,” is completely understood.
I didn’t realize Tammy Bruce was the SOS spokesman. So much to learn on these limbs.
Can you even imagine a Hillary Clinton, John F. Kerry or Anton. Blinken demonstrating actual leadership or articulating a plan like this on the world stage?
Neither can I.
Those people already showed us that they couldn’t. Russia put in front of them at least 2 plans that would be possible to negotiate in late 2021 – plans that would guarantee Russia’s national security – about which they are obviously concerned. Instead, Blinken and the Biden administration did everything to threaten Russia – requiring impossible conditions, refusing to enforce the Minsk Accords, pushing for Ukraine to be in NATO.
Onward Christian Soldiers!
The hardest part was watching the United States fund a war between Christians. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria were heartbreaking neocon regime change disasters, but for me the Ukraine disaster was intolerable. With each passing day, I believe more fully that VSGDJT was saved for a reason.
I’m sure I hear ‘Nessun Dorma’ playing in the distance…
I love that President Trump articulates his punch with a good Opera!
I’m looking forward to seeing how the vile, corrupt, and evil cabal governing the Vatican is going to be purged, cleaned out, and dealt with, especially the heretic filth called Francis.
I hope they get around to discussing a Bridge across the Bering Sea. I might want to go fishing in Kamchatka, I don’t like to fly. 25 miles mainland to mainland. 2.5 miles between the Diomedes Islands.
That discussion started before The War of Northern Aggression. Trump could make it happen.
10 to 12 miles from Russia to the Diomedes Islands and then another 12-15 miles to Wales, Alaska. Two bridges, just do it! I live in Virginia Beach. We have a 17.6 mile bridge tunnel between Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore of Virginia with deep enough channels for Navy carriers to pass through to the world’s largest Naval Base. Definitely doable if the two countries want to do it.
Could actually be 3 smaller bridges if they use both
Big Diomede and Little Diomede.
Build the Berunnel.
Using the Boring company’s Alice super borer machine.
And with VSGPDJT, “supervising” the building? FANTASTIC!!!
It can be one of Barron Trump’s college projects.
Praise God!
Per the 14:40 remarks…
After the deluge bringing a successful end to this ghastly war, a pincer movement by President Trump and President Putin, a partnering, surrounding then obliterating the godless New World Order and its plans for a One World Government.
In a better world, in this, I believe America and Russia would be natural allies.
God willing, we will yet see it.
I’m no defeatest but someday that Holy Book will be fulfilled just as it is written.
I just pray it’s not anytime soon.
I can’t help but remember that President Trump in his first term honoured the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with his first foreign visit. And they reciprocated with an incredible welcoming reserved for those whom they respect.
Compare and contrast…Biden’s welcome was through a nondescript side door with no fanfare.
President Trump has built more than physical edifices. He has vision and can see where bridges must be built well before others can.
Today that particular bridge has come into its own and for a purpose unimagined when he was received so beautifully in 2017.
He was laying foundations then, strong ones, which I have great hopes will support the opposing forces of raw evil we have been watching since 2020.
Could I be more in awe of this man’s insight and skills?
Yes, the big dogs are in charges, and they have more marbles than the wannabe “World Rulers”

I guess President Trump had Richard Grenell give Marco lessons on how to be gay without being fake and gay.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Secretary Rubio has fathered four children. His soft spoken style may make him the best person for this role.
My gay history teacher in Jr. High fathered 2 children. Then he left his wife for a man many years later.
And VSGDJT has Grenell fighting the real enemy in California… The screaming Blue Meanies….
A competent but content Russia needed to buffer china and islamist southern border countries
Russia has more western values than most euro countries at present
Putin…get oil down to 45 reduces his agressivness.
Russia has natural suspicsions of china, entice them away
Oil 45.00 per Barrel would bankrupt us. We cant produce oil that cheaply America, with a petroleum based economy would be broke.. Using the price of oil as leverage over Russia will never work. The last 3 years have proven we have no leverage over Russia.
The only way to stop the war in Ukraine is simply stop all support from the US. Then dump the whole mess in Europe’s lap.
Europe is now the one who wants war with Russia. Let them go it on their own. The french poodle vs The Russian Wolf.
Russia will win no mater what we do. Its best to develop a friendly relationship with Russia, stand back and get out of the way.
Spring is coming. Soon the mud will dry up. Nothing but flatlands between Russian forces and Kiev. Without our money and arms, delaying the inevitable. Russia would make short work of it.
Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea all have strong security agreements. You cant entice them away from each other.
Unlike the US who has a long history of breaking agreements and treaties. Who has lost the worlds trust.
Russia stands by their treaties and agreements built on mutual respect and trust.
As the saying goes “Its a big club. We ain’t in it.”
Both America and Russia need a strong and strategic alliance together that will change the World.
Both leaders were destined for greatness of patience and perseverance.
Both populations need a heavy dose of mutual respect, morality and spiritual rejuvenation!
GOOD!
As Europe implodes maybe our new allies will be Hungary, Poland, and Russia.
As the President said from the Oval Office… “stranger things have happened”.
Likely you’ll see Europe try to buy as much as possible from Brazil plus others, in the short run.
Could be a good time for Lula, if he doesn’t blow it.

So, the grown-ups came to the table and hammered out a deal whilst the “children” (led by Ursula and Emmanuel ) are still in the kitchen arguing over who gets the last piece of cake?! Love it!!
more like who gets to lick the beaters!
Thanks for a great memory!! Especially when mom was making chocolate cake!!
Gee, it’s almost as if the U.S. and Russia had nothing to do with defeating the Nazis and saving the rest of Europe in WWII.
And MAGA and Russia have values in common. We are the same kind of people.
The dems and rinos are money and power hungry, which they have in common with the E U.
Channeling my best greta impression… How DARE you go drumming up history again…
“a consultation mechanism to address irritants to our bilateral relationship with the objective of taking steps necessary to normalize the operation of our respective diplomatic missions.”
“irritants” n. Politics
NEOCON and MSM talking heads only interested in maintaining a false narrative to prevent peaceful solutions to national conflicts, primarily to enrich banking factions and arms manufacturers by maintaining the status quo of such conflicts.
Glad to see this happening.
Rubio..YES!
But they are in Saudia Arabia, so no informal discussions after the meeting over scotch or vodka. Oh well ….
I gotta believe the Soviet’s of the past infiltrated and own a number of our politicians. Esp the old dinosaurs that refuse to retire. That’s why they are so terrified of a Putin and POTUS alliance. Exposure is what they fear the most.
Trump and Putin both just want to do business! It’s absurd how many people are stuck in the Cold War and can’t seem to grasp that the USSR has not existed for 35 years! Putin has no desire to conquer other countries. He just wants to do business without being threatened by NATO. There is no reason why we shouldn’t be allies and trading partners. In many ways, Putin is the Trump of Russia.
Putin has been around a lot longer than Trump. Putin rebuilt Russia to be the most powerful nation on the planet from the ashes of the Soviet Union.
President Trump needs to be another Putin. Trump must rebuild our nation from the black ashes of Marxism and corruption. Pray he has the same results as Putin. Maybe Putin can give him a few pointers when they eventually talk.
Well, keep in mind that Putin has a KGB background…with all the “baggage” which such a background implies.
And Russian industrial espionage ?
“…President Vladimir Putin has suggested in recent months that the country’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) should support technological development as the country deals with mounting sanctions.
The admission about the state of Russia’s microelectronics industry is contained in a new strategic policy document from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, reported Tuesday by Kommersant. It lists a number of acute problems facing Russia’s domestic technology industry, including its dependence on foreign intellectual property; its lack of production capacity; and Russia being unattractive to investors.
These headwinds were referenced in a speech by Putin to the SVR on June 30 when he stressed the role of the spy agency in mitigating sanctions, while avoiding any direct reference to the invasion of Ukraine….”
And so, sanctions allow and even compel the Russians to use industrial espionage: will dropping sanctions, however, lessen or end such espionage?

Best to work with Putin as much as realistically possible.
Some of the other leadership (Medvedev, the generals) are less friendly, more Russo-centric, & more aggressive.

No ceasefire in sight anytime soon: Dmytro Kuleba tells BBC,
==========================
Havard – Belfer Center:
https://www.belfercenter.org/people/dmytro-kuleba
=============================
“The game hasn’t even started, we’re just warming up.
We need to pull Trump into a long game instead of rushing into a deal.”
He adds, “Minsk-3 is seen as the only realistic scenario in the US.”
There will be no ceasefire in the near future: there is none on the horizon.
Is a Ukrainian victory still possible? Yes. Is enough being done for this now? No, because the key capitals have started playing not for victory, but for ending the war.
Putin still believes that he can outplay everyone;
In essence, our strategy should be to engage Trump in a long game rather than give in to the quick pressure he is counting on;
The US believes that something like Minsk-3 is the only realistic scenario.
But then we must honestly tell people: look, we are not ending the conflict, we are simply reducing the intensity of military actions;
The game is far from over. It hasn’t even started yet, we’re all just warming up on the field;
As for Trump’s peace plan: we need to take this plan and say: “Thank you, we’ll think about it.”
“Zelensky knows that he has enough resources to hold out until at least mid-summer, and he hopes that by then Europe will finally decide to provide more help.”
===================
( in Ukrainian )
Let those tariffs fly and we’ll see how much of a commitment they make.

Col Doug Macgregor: Zelensky Obstructing Peace
Fantastic interview! Everyone should watch this if you want to know the truth.
Excellent press statements. My goodness, the US is credible again.
Regarding the reinstatement of the diplomatic missions (embassies, ambassadors, channels, etc.)…it occurred to me that Russia came to understand that Washington completely lost credibility with the Russia-Russia-Russia hoax to smear a newly elected president.
It will be the US actions that restore Credibility. Not words spoken by a couple of guys. Too much damage has been done. Too many treaties, agreements, and accords have been broken by the USA.
Russia will never trust America’s words, or paper agreements again.
Unless we back our words by Truthful, Peaceful, Good, respectful, positive action over a long time. Maybe after many years of America working for PEACE in the world not starting war. Trust will be restored.
I think Putin trusts Trump. They have a good relationship and they understand each other. They both want what’s best for their countries. But that only lasts for the next 4 years.
New hats needed soon !
Made America Great Again
Made America Credible Again
etc…..
Open and honest (non-pretending) dialogue between the United States and Russia is so important to the peaceful stability and prosperity of the world.
That’s why America’s UniParty Deep State, Europe’s corrupt globalist elite, Narco Grifter Zelenskyy and the global establishment media/propaganda machine are all so rabidly opposed to the process.
May God continue to bless and protect President Trump and his loyal allies.
Watching Witkoff while Rubio was talking, he seemed to be giving the evil eye to someone off to his right. I wonder if it was some Presstitute receiving his attention. 🙂
Cancerous media.
Excellent progress. PDJT understands the necessity of more than extricating the U.S. from the Ukraine debacle, he is demonstrating a deeper understanding of the pressing need to upgrade bilateral relations with Russia as a matter of paramount geopolitical importance.
Come to think of it, maybe the USA and Russian can ally to liberate Europe, just this one more time.
Meanwhile, Europe devolves into a fascist attack against free speech…
The contrast between the pictures of these delegations meeting in Riyadh and the European leaders meeting at the Elysée palace in Paris in a previous thread is in the chairs. The Europeans are sitting around the table on cheap, plastic cafeteria chairs. Is money getting tight on the Continent?
I don’t know, of course, but those plastic chairs were probably a modernist design, made especially for that table at a cost of $8000 each.
Interesting observation. Worse than money tightening, the French would choose Ugly over Beauty? It’s always the small things giving one away.
I would harden both diplomatic compounds against extreme nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks. The cia and allied ic will react with extreme prejudice.
This will get wild.
Rubio: ‘The only leader in the world who can make this happen, who can even bring people together to begin to talk about it in a serious way is President Trump”.
Unprecedented that this can come from a man who in the recent past called the President “a con artist… who has spent his entire career sticking it to the little guy”.
TDS seems to particularly affect the most educated and highly intelligent.
Europe forgot the famous statement about nations have neither permanent enemies nor permanent friends, but will always have permanent interests. The leftist mindset is always to find enemies. Instead of seeking partnerships.
Flip the script! I love it.
Rubio mentions three things, normalizing communications/reopening the missions, ending the Ukraine conflict, and then building a long-term economic/geopolitical relationship. 1 and 3 flip the script on the prevailing narrative from the past several years.
They can flip the script on #2 not just by excluding the EU from negotiations, but by partnering with Russia to bring about a regime change in Kiev, and by working together to investigate just how this stupid war was precipitated by Washington and the EU in 2021/2022. Not least of which investigating the Nordstream and Moscow opera attacks. The US also needs to find out just who authorized and carried out missile attacks on sovereign territory by US-made, US-targeted, and very likely US-operated missile systems in Ukraine.
Those people brought us intentionally to the brink of a WW3 nuclear conflict and bringing them to some form of justice should be part of a negotiated settlement. That’s how you get Russia to trust you. You punish the guilty.
Great to see Team Trump flipping the script.
I’m not an expert in this but I wonder if when Rubio says “we’ve got to return to normalcy” he means ‘we’re agreeing to stop pretending .’
“State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce ” – now that’s a phrase I didn’t expect to ever hear.
Interesting choice. She can come off pretty cold when she wants to.
Here she is in a short film about taking DEI to it’s logical conclusion … with a SPAS 12 –
It’s about time that we started treating Russia with the respect due to a modern nuclear power. We don’t have to like or trust them, but we have to deal with them.
I have long suspected that President Potato fancied himself a 21st century FDR squaring off against a modern-day Hitler. He was part of the behind the scenes effort to provoke the war and then presented himself to the public as some kind of tough guy with all his blathering about regime change in Russia and saying, “This guy has to go,” in reference to Putin. I think he was disappointed that the West couldn’t widen the conflict to involve (acknowledged) American boots on the ground, because Potato wanted to cement his legacy as a wartime president and Afghanistan wasn’t working out.
The globalist warmongers were only too happy to keep the money train chugging along and the Grahams and McConnells of the political scene were too busy shoving fat stacks of cash into their mattresses to care what was actually happening. Business is good for America, and war is good for business, no?
Joey Two Scoops met with a group of historians and academicians shortly after the 2020 election steal that told him he could be a greater wartime president than Saint Franklin.
Peace deal will require new elections. Goodbye Z.
At this point of the conflict, the US lost the Ukraine proxy war to Russia and now it’s just a matter of getting out with as much unscatched attire as possible.
Europe was thrown under the bus. But frankly Europe threw itself under the bus mostly, it did not need much help from the US.
If Russia concedes anything at this point they might as well sign Minsk 3. I think that sort of Minsk construct is a fairytale, including ceasefire.. we won’t see a lasting peace until bigger security architecture of Europe is agreed on with Russia that will stand the coming decades.. not the coming 4 years while EU (or next US administration) re-arms Ukraine again.
This may be as terrifying to the enemies of MAGA, as DOGE is…remember they kept PDJT from working with Russia, with the whole Muh Russia,..they really did not and do not want PDJT and Putin working together…
The “irritants” they talk about would be,.. the CIA, the EU/Nato leadership, the chief enemies of MAGA,…the Corruptocrats in the US and Europe.
Very encouraging.
Anyone else wondering if this is the real Rubio unrestrained from whatever sword of Damocles the Bush clan/neocons used to wield over him, or is this just the greatest thespian version of Marco hiding his Brutus?
