EU/NATO and Neo-Nazi junta losing their marbles over Putin-Trump contacts

On February 12, President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump talked for almost an hour and a half. The US president described it as “lengthy and highly productive”. The call signals a major shift in the usual US foreign policy in the last several years when Washington DC kept antagonizing Moscow, pushing the two superpowers to the brink of a direct confrontation. Trump’s Truth Social post suggests that both leaders had extended mutual invitations to “visit each other’s nations”. He also said they discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, AI, the US dollar, and “various other subjects”. Trump also mentioned the “benefit of [Russia and America] working together”, which is almost unbelievable to hear after years of US/NATO’s crawling aggression that the Kremlin has been fighting off (quite successfully, mind you).
Expectedly, the most important issue was resolving the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict. According to Trump, they “both agreed we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with Russia/Ukraine”, adding that “President Putin even used my very strong campaign motto of ‘COMMON SENSE”‘. This is Trump’s usually colorful English, otherwise one might think he has started to appropriate even “common sense”, much like what he did with “stolen US hypersonic missile technologies” (that don’t really exist). However, in all seriousness, Trump’s statements and actions often seem “groundbreaking” in comparison to those of the preceding Biden administration which was even considering the option of giving the Neo-Nazi junta nuclear weapons and previously banned medium-range missiles.
He also named the team that would be running the negotiations with Russia. As of this writing, four names have been confirmed: US State Secretary Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Trump stated that he “feels strongly the negotiations will be successful” and also added that “millions of people have died in a war that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end”. This is certainly commendable, as any peace initiatives between the two superpowers with the world’s largest arsenals of thermonuclear weapons are good for the entire planet. The Kremlin also seems to have been content with the call, as Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the Russian president invited Trump to Russia.
