The United States shared intelligence with Russia about two Russian nationals planning terrorist attacks in St. Petersburg during the New Year holiday, according to the Russian news agency TASS. The Kremlin announced details of the call, noting President Putin, “thanked Donald Trump for the information shared via the special services that helped prevent terrorist acts in Russia.” The exchange was confirmed by the White House on Monday after the Kremlin issued a readout of the conversation. “Yesterday, President Vladimir Putin of Russia called President Donald J. Trump to thank him for information the United States provided that helped foil a potential holiday terrorist attack in Russia,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement. Gidley said both Putin and Trump committed to preventing terrorism in both countries and also spoke about the state of the United States/Russia relationship. On Monday, Putin again invited President Trump to visit Russia in 2020, according to a statement from the Kremlin: In a Christmas and New Year greeting message to President of the United States of America Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin noted that Russia and the US were historically responsible for ensuring global security and stability and that Moscow speaks in favor of normalizing bilateral relations and establishing an equal dialogue based on the mutual respect of interests. The President of Russia also reaffirmed his invitation to Donald Trump to visit Moscow to take part in the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Russia refers to the Great Patriotic War as the period that the Soviet Union fought Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front of World War II. Many Russians are critical of the credit the United States receives for ending World War II, as they argue the Soviet Union’s defense against Hitler’s incursion helped end the war. In recent years, Putin has bolstered Russian efforts to commemorate the country’s “Victory Day” in an annual massive military parade in May. In a statement on the celebration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Moscows Foreign ministry spokeswoman reminded the West of Russia’s contribution to ending the war. “As historians note, the Normandy landing did not have a decisive impact on the outcome of World War Two and the Great Patriotic War. It had already been pre-determined as a result of the Red Army’s victories, mainly at Stalingrad and Kursk,” she said in June 2019.
Hold your friends close and your enemies closer. Terrorist are enemies of the world, not just America, if Russia can take out a few of these vermin, more power to them.
Russia warned us about the Tsarnaev brothers at the Boston bombing too but we did not listen or chose not to do anything about them. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...suspect-tsarnaev-report-idUSBREA2P02Q20140326 Russia has been fighting against Islamic terrorists longer than we have I believe.
Frankly I would rather have Russia as a trade partner than China . Neither one good but just trying to look at which one is the worst of two evils . Also I would think " what ever that is worth " a future military conflict involving the U.S. ---V.S. China or Russia I would think China would be the more likely and the most formable opponent . Weakening China's economy would be to our advantage . True we would lose a big portion of those cheap slave produced items but for the good of the planet I would rather pay more for non slave produced products .
"Vermin", yes. Terrorism is vile greasy spiritual blackness. Even your nastiest neighbor needs to know that someone may just be trying to break into his house. This sort of help isn't swapping spit. It is Righteousness 101. One simply fights evil -- it should be in our souls to do so.
There is a lot of upside to the US having a good relationship with Russia. The fact of the matter is that we don't have a lot of conflicting interests with the Russians as we do with China. China is gearing up for something.
China is currently raping Hong Kong. The PRC is pushing its territorial waters down into the South China Sea. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=china+firing+on+philippine+fishing+boats&atb=v140-1&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=china+building+islands+in+south+china+sea&atb=v140-1&ia=web https://www.news.com.au/technology/...n/news-story/99967f182da868ba6321d559cde96e62 https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/qiongsha.htm https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/dec/24/china-tests-submarine-launched-jl-3-missile-capabl/
