I guess not. This is for those who still consume copious amounts of Trump's verbal diarrhea.
Translation: MOSCOW, 5 Feb — RIA Novosti. The United States must take the first step toward normalizing relations with Russia, said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, his words are quoted on the website of the Foreign Ministry. The diplomat noted that Moscow sought an honest partnership, but the West did not listen to it, since it initially pursued the goal of weakening the geopolitical adversary. Nevertheless, Russia was able to withstand, upsetting the plans of the now former leadership of the United States, which promoted a "rules-based world order" and also sought to inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow. "Against the backdrop of the failure of this course and the change of administration, the first step toward normalizing bilateral relations, meaning negotiations based on the principles of mutual respect and equality, should be taken by the United States," Ryabkov explained. According to him, Russia is open to dialogue, ready to negotiate in a tough bargaining mode, taking into account the realities "on the ground" and national interests predetermined by history and geography. “So the decisions and choices are up to Donald Trump and his team,” the Deputy Foreign Minister summed up.
Russians have a proverb--to spin like a snake on the frying pan. If Trump wants to own this war, so be it--Russia is ready. The conditions are announced publicly. So, what is it going to be, Mr. Trump? Guess who holds the frying pan?
