Summary

A Russian presidential plane from the Kremlin’s Rossiya Special Flight Squadron visited New York and Washington, D.C., in late December, sparking speculation amid tense U.S.-Russia relations.

Moscow claimed the flight carried rotating diplomats, but its timing raises questions about Trump’s potential dealings with Vladimir Putin.

Trump has promised to end the Ukraine war in a day, alarming NATO officials who fear a deal that could harm Kyiv and alter NATO’s eastern border dynamics.

The flight highlights ongoing diplomatic maneuvering ahead of Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

    They won’t have a choice

    Of course they will.

    He’ll likely agree to allow Russia to use extreme measures

    That will end the NATO alliance. And Europe will continue with many independent countries to support Ukraine.

    it will just gibe Trump the excuse to withdraw from it like he keeps threatening.

    Then the world will dramatically change, and democratic countries can nolonger work with USA, and USA will lose ALL soft power they have.
    I seriously doubt the rest of the US administration and the oligarchy will allow that.

      You are vastly underestimating how uniquely stupid and compromised Trump is.

        But he is also a coward. If certain powerful figures have conversations with him, he’ll fold.

          There is no rest of his administration, just a rotating cast of clowns that do as he says.
