Russia responds to Trump's claim he's setting up talks with Putin to 'get that war over with'

Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to meet with President-elect Donald Trump, the Kremlin said on Friday.

And the Kremlin praised Trump for his willingness to speak about the war with Ukraine.

'We need a mutual desire and political willingness to engage in a dialogue,' Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters. 'We see that Mr. Trump also declares his readiness to solve issues via dialogue. We welcome that.'

But he added that it looked like any formal meeting would have to wait until Trump takes the oath of office on January 20th.

'It looks like things will start to move after Trump enters the Oval Office,' he said.

Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday night that 'Putin wants to meet, and we're setting it up.'

The president-elect offered no timeline of when that could happen. But he indicated the meeting would be about ending the three-year war between Russia and Ukraine.

'We have to get that war over with,' Trump said.

President Joe Biden's administration has provided Ukraine with $61.4 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its invasion.

Ukraine worries Trump will end U.S. assistance.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Well if they do meet, Trump will have to go to Russia

... because Putin is still a wanted war criminal, and would be immediately arrested if he set foot in any Western country

Any meeting would likely take place in Turkey or Moscow...I can see Trump trying to emulate Nixon.  But he's about to find out what a lying, bad-faith snake Putin truly is.  Can't make a deal with anyone who doesn't want one, or else won't honor its terms.  And I guarantee that Putin will try to give Trump the same lecture that he did to Tucker Carlson to justify why Russia should simply annex all of Ukraine and be done with it.

Watching Trump get ticked off at Putin is going to be fun for multiple reasons.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I believe Trump will prevail.  :patriot:
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.   Romans 12:16-18

What  if they met in Iceland or Switzerland?
