In comments today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov insisted that the Russian government is ready and willing to talk with President-elect Donald Trump on a myriad of issues, particularly nuclear weapons and Syria, and that he believes the two could solve a lot of the world’s problems working together.
Lavrov expressed hope for major progress in the US-Russia relationship, saying that he sees a lot of potential areas of cooperation, and is “encouraged” by the Trump transition team’s comments, seeing major differences between the incoming administration and the Obama Administration.
Lavrov faulted Obama, saying he had done major harm to US-Russia cooperation, and that he believes a more pragmatic effort to find mutual areas of cooperation, particularly on issues like the war on terror, much bigger deals could be reached.
This is in stark contrast to yesterday’s comments from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who insisted the Kremlin doesn’t have any intention of discussing anything with Trump until after the inauguration. It’s clear, however, that Lavrov is looking beyond the inauguration and forward to getting started.
Trump insisted over the weekend that while he doesn’t intend to immediately end all of President Obama’s anti-Russia sanctions, he would be open to ending them as part of a broader deal, suggesting in particular that it could involve a deal which “reduced very substantially” the number of nuclear weapons.
Russia has been more or less excluding Obama from the Syrian peace process, negotiating a ceasefire with Turkey and Iran. They have, however, indicated that the Trump Administration is welcome to participate in the peace talks, which once again likely reflects the expectation that US Russia relations in general will improve, and that Trump is likely to move away from some of the aspects of intervention in Syria more problematic to Russia, like the CIA’s smuggling of arms to rebels.
Gorbachev hoped and Yeltsin thought the United States and Russia would work together on a lot of world problems.Yeltsin negotiated with Milosevic to end the war in Yugoslavia by promising Russia troops would come in with NATO and protect the Orthodox Christian civilians in Kosovo . U.S. general Wesley Clark the commander of all NATO forces issued orders to shoot the Russian soldiers , evidently the United States did not want any Christians protected .The English commander refused the orders because he did not want to start W War 3 .Anyway those orders along with the bombing of Belgrade and Yeltsin’s inability to protect the Orthodox Christians in Yugoslavia brought down his government in Russia . Russia was humiliated in Yugoslavia they wanted a president that would fight for what is right and they elected Putin
Most people do not understand today the meaning of Kosovo. The reckless tearing away of the vulnerable Christian Orthodox community and placing all Kosovo’s Christian heretage under the rule of criminal gangs — as well as bombing of Serbia to achieve that — was the trigger for a reaction by Russia and China. In 1999 Yeltsin travelled to China to lay the foundation to Shanghai Cooperation Organization, founded in 2000. In its Charter its stated goal is a new, more just, world order.
Until today, NATO (KFOR) soldiers must guard the remaining monasteries, churches and other Christian heretage monuments 24-7-356, since Bill Clinton’s adventures in Balkans. But for over 120 of churches and monasteries it was too late. As well as for countless priests and nuns who lost their lives.
The grand vision of weakening Russia started in the Balkans in the nineties. But they should have never touched Kosovo. The Nemesis has risen out of its ashes. It woke up Russia
And it brought communist China and Christian Russia much more closely together for mutual protection against the great satin . Now they have all kinds of new weapons .to get their self respect back .
The GREAT SATIN it is no longer just Muslims countries that consider the United States the great satin . The NWO policies of the last few administrations coupled up with the promotion of gay pride parades coming out of our embassies , along with our new definition of marriage . has even convinced more than half of America’s Christians that perhaps we deserve the great satin name
And the reason most Americans don’t understand it is because we have had fake news for a very long time . Fake news that neglected to report the most important facts but instead blasted us with propaganda in hopes of creating a new world government before we even knew what was going on .
If you want to thank anyone for the debacle in Kosovo, you can thanks the zionists that controlled the Clinton Crime Cabal (CCC) and continue to control the CCC through what appear to be “legitimate” dealings with the Clinton Foundation.
Pretty good job Bianca but please, leave the religious aspect out of it. As you will notice, those who read you comments go off on a different bent altogether when the get the religion bit in their teeth.
Better to just say that the Kosovo adventure of March 99 served to impress on Russia that the line must now be drawn against further US advances. Religion had nothing to do with Russia’s reaction.
Jan 9, 2017 – Establishment is doing everything to puff up Russian “threat” & derail Trump opening to Moscow
Another shipload of American military hardware has arrived at the German port of Bremerhaven to reinforce US commitment to its allies against the perceived Russian threat, ensuring Europe remains “whole, free, prosperous and at peace.” This is just the latest in a NATO buildup near the Russian border. Former US diplomat Jim Jatras joins “News With Ed” to discuss.

Do you think that maybe Trump has been briefed and so he understands the situtation much more clearly now?
If that is true then this could have become a part of Trump’s plan to
“make America great again.”
I can back up my suspicions on that by saying that the only way to make America great is to continue to pursue it’s path of world domination, both militarily and economically.
No force, economic or military, will be allowed to stand in the face of Trump’s agenda. An agenda which is now very consistent with the US agenda since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The BRICS are threatening economically and Russia is a huge part of the BRICS.
Give it some serious thought and maybe you’ll start to see some logic behind my suspicion. Well, actually quite a bit more than just suspicions!
Here ya go Canada! Nov 29, 2016 The Map That Shows Why Russia Fears War With USA
https://youtu.be/L6hIlfHWaGU
Are you mentally challenged? The map doesn’t do much more than reiterate what I said.
‘The pot calling the kettle black’, something that you say which means someone should not criticize another person for a fault that they have themselves!
Dear Russia- Do not take the bait.. Trump is already being overtaken by the dark state, and whatever treaties are offered – you will suffer at the hands of the neocon warmonger scum that truly run the USA..
Wouldn’t it be better to just say that Trump is being educated and briefed by the ‘deep’ state in order to help him understand the position he is going to have to adopt on Russia/US relations. I mean, that’s what it is obviously and so it’s better to not confuse it with something else. Agree?
luv from Canada.
Thanks for the like Garth. How long before most Americans understand that truth. Even the ones who have been slobbering all over Trump as he spews his bullsh-t that gives the lowlife a warm fuzzy feeling!
Pathetic ignorant uneducated patsies!
Many can educate the deep state on the moral and truthful methods to govern… the puppeteers behind the deep state don’t educate dissidents – try destroy them.
Jason’s 4th. paragraph where he says there is a ‘stark contrast’, doesn’t make sense to me. It seems that Peskov and Lavrov are completed consistent with each other.
What did you mean Jason? This smells like MSM trying to point out inconsistencies in Russia but that’s certainly not your interest. Is it?
