Vladimir Putin would prefer an American leader who understands the ‘importance of dialogue,’ Kremlin spokesman says.

Russian President Vladimir Putin would prefer an American president who is “more constructive” toward Russia and understands the “importance of the dialogue” between the two countries, the Kremlin said on Friday.

Asked whether Putin could work with the Republican front-runner in the U.S. election, former President Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told broadcaster NBC News that the Russian leader would be ready to work with “anyone who will understand that from now on, you have to be more careful with Russia and you have to take into account its concerns.”

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, relations between the West and Moscow have deteriorated, with Washington and its allies imposing wide-ranging sanctions on individuals and entities having links with Moscow regime.

    This motherfucker wants someone “who understands the ‘importance of dialogue’” after he invaded Russia’s neighboring country, straight up stole land & children and sanctioned his troops raping, pillaging and murdering civilians?!?

    Putin is not a serious person on any level. His words and actions have no business being treated in a serious manner.
    He should be hunted down and disposed of like a rabid dog.
    He’s not a human. Just trash.
    Fucking cancerous trash.

      You do realize that it was Trump’s administration (of course not him personally) that helped to arm Ukraines forces after Minsk2? I’m still baffled by this to this date and I don’t hope we ever see him again as president, but yeah his administration was partially responsible that the Ukrainian forces could defend themselves against the Russian invaders because of military equipment, advisors and exchange of knowledge.

      So I’m not so sure if Putin wants his administration back at this very point in the war.

        Not sure why you’d describe it that way. Trump tried to extort Ukraine to lie about Biden in exchange for weapons (and was impeached for it), then grudgingly did what Congress had already approved.

        Even a broken (analog) clock can be right twice a day (to mis-quate a trite phrase).

        I wonder (as I don’t know) how much Traitor’s administration did shit around it’s back, or what Putin’s Fleshlight’s motivation was for arming Ukraine.

    from now on you have to be more careful with Russia

    What? You’ve shown your entire military is a joke. If anything, everyone knows they can wreck your military with little effort. The only defense you have at this point is your nuclear weapons. But you can’t really use those or you’ll turn the entire world against you.

        Yes meat, but it’s not as easy to make tanks and munitions and armor as it is to force women to give birth.

        Add to that the fact that China is struggling economically and have their own military goals, so they cannot keep supplying putler

    They wanted the invasion of Ukraine to make Russia seem more serious and intimidating on a world scale and instead it’s like oh, you guys could barely fend off California…
