Trump Meets Putin: ‘I Really Think the World Wants to See Us Get Along’

(CNSNews.com) - President Donald Trump began his first one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in front of the cameras, sitting down for a brief photo-op and congratulating Putin on "a really great World Cup, one of the best ever, from what everybody tells me."

Putin, slouched in his chair, was impassive, as Trump outlined what the two men will discuss:

Most importantly we have a lot of good things to talk about and things to talk about. We have discussions on everything from trade to military to missiles to nuclear to China - we'll be talking a little bit about China, our mutual friend, President Xi.

I think we have great opportunities together -- as two countries that frankly, we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years. I've been here not too long, and it's getting close to two years, but I think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship.

Well we don’t want the leaders of two nuclear armed states coming to blows with one another. We want them to get along well enough to avoid that.

Anymore than not punching one another is debatable. The populist wing of Trump could see the USA cuddle up to Russia, it’s neo-con wing may feel differently. If the main reason you voted Trump was for lower taxes and free markets you would be wary of Putin. Trumps wiser and more cynical supporters may not like this.
Trumps words have encouraged “bigly” amounts of divisiveness in the US. He’s ousting people from our neighboring country. But yes, let’s cozy up to Russia.....good grief.roll eyes
Yeah, why cozy up to Russia...let's get back to the Cold war...that will make a lot of you happy... roll eyes
Photo-op if I ever saw one.I can just imagine what they both said to one another after the meeting."Well Putin and Trump we got them fooled now"."We'll just continue to keep the people of both of our countries totally confused that we wish peace between us and get ready for another photo-op next time around".
As Michael Corleone said, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
The quote is from "The Godfather, Part II". It was written for the screenplay of that film, it's not an old proverb, as far as anyone has been able to demonstrate.
May have been written for a movie but it makes perfect sense to me.
I wonder why they always sit in chairs like that, would be more comfortable in recliners , sitting beck with their feet in the air.
All I know is we have always been told who our enemies are, how do we really know who they are? Unless your country has been completely peaceful, how can you judge another one. It is the same as judging your neighbour for arguing, but it is okay for you to argue, only because you argue quietly or less often. All we know on these matters we have been told by others, we really know nothing of them.
