"For him, this is still his last presidential term. What he will do is his matter," added Putin, who this year began a fifth term that will keep him in power until 2030 and could seek six more years in office after that.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday the Kremlin is not ruling out the possibility of contact between Putin and Trump before the inauguration, given that Trump "said he would call Putin before the inauguration."

Oh, I would imagine Putin will let Trump lick his boots in the White House within a month of Trump taking over, and the Xi will show up, as Trump sets about carving the world into Empires, and gives Ukraine to Russian and Taiwan to China.

Europe has started to wake up. They don't want Russia and conscripted Ukrainians at their doorstep. They will ramp up domestic production and dump American arms manufacturers. The Ukrainians will win with EU help and Americans in red states where our weapons are made will be out on the street. I have no sympathy for them.

@#9 ... Europe has started to wake up. ...

Europe started to wake up a couple years ago.

European defence spending: the new consensus (2018)
www.iiss.org
... Changing threat perceptions and an improved economic climate have prompted European states to increase defence spending.

In 2017, Europe was the fastest-growing region in real-terms defence spending, with a 3.6% increase over the 2016 figure (see Figure 1). While this trend is set to last, does it mean that European states will be better prepared to face today's increasingly unstable world? ...

No. They won't be able to face today's unstable world.

They are American Vassals and will do as they are told.

Russia is outside Western Control. They won't take orders.

The real players are the US and Britain. They are pushing the whole Agenda and Framing Of this war of Preemptive Defense as a war of Expansion.

Russia isn't listening.

They are slowly attaining their objectives.

NATO isn't.

@#12 ... Russia is outside Western Control. They won't take orders. ...

Who has ever said that Russia is within Western Control?

Or is that yet another false point of contention your current alias is trying to proffer?

Why does your current alias cough up this phlegm?
