'His Thoughts are So Correct': Trump Releases 'Very Nice Letter' He Received from Putin

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Tyler Durden  /  ZeroHedge.com

Moments ago, Donald Trump released the following statement in response to a conciliatory letter he has received from Russian president Vladimir Putin, in which the Russian president offers an unprecedented olive branch for future cooperation between the two nations:

“A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct. I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path.”

In the letter, Putin underscroed the importance of cooperation between the two countries, further hinting at a thawing of the icy relations, as Russia has described them, between Obama and Putin.

“I hope that after you assume the position of the President of the United States of America we will be able – by acting in a constructive and pragmatic manner – to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a qualitatively new level,” the Russian leader wrote.

The letter comes following comments by both Putin and Trump over a build up of nuclear weapons, and speculation of a new arms race with Russia. Trump tweeted on Thursday that he supported strengthening the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Those comments came on the same day that Putin made similar statements about his own country’s arsenal.

Trump advisers on Friday sought to downplay the controversy. Trump’s incoming White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, insisted that Trump’s tweet was actually intended to be a warning to other countries that he would not let U.S. security be threatened by an arms race. “There’s not going to be [an arms race] because he is going to ensure that other countries get the message he is not going to sit back and allow that,” Spicer said on NBC’s “Today.”

Judging by Putin’s tone, the Russian leader does not expect an imminent arms race with the US and instead is hoping for much better relations going forward.

This is what Putin, who has never previously sent a similar letter to a US head of state, said:

Dear Mr. Trump,

Please accept my warmest Christmas and New Year greetings.

Serious global and regional challenges, which our countries have to face in recent years, show that the relations between Russia and the U.S. remain an important factor in ensuring stability and security of the modern world.

I hope that after you assume the position of the President of the United States of America we will be able — by acting in a constructive and pragmatic manner – to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a qualitatively new level.

Please accept my sincere wishes to you and your family of sound health, happiness, wellbeing, success and all the best.

Sincerely,

V.Putin

It appears that both Russia and the US are eager for a quick restoration of “sound” bilateral relations following 8 years deterioration under the Obama administration, facilitated by the US State Department, first headed by Hillary Clinton and then John Kerry.

      Both Putin and Trump have serious illusions that somehow by miracle the could fix everything, but both nations are fully bankrupt and for the Russia if peace deal and cheap loans are not provided to avoid it, after February Putin’s gang rule is over. CCC committee will do their best to sabotage any (money) deals because they have already invested heavily into war. I do not know who will take part of Greeks or Trojans and who or what the next Helen will be, just it will be to late for Putin and Trump, running toward each-other with open arms, to stop and when trying to hit, to find out brakes are off. There will be some shameful event, something that will ensure that bloodbath and hate will last for a decade or two. For both nations and the rest of the world, that will become such a geopolitical crash not seen since hm, bronze age. Only way to avoid this it to wipe out that pile of snakes aka as 300, both them, their families and pets, because billions will die. But that will not happen, as both Vlad and Donald are intertwine with those monsters, so my fear is that the War is coming. As retired officer and an war vet I can feel it in the air, lately I can almost hear Death whispering into my ear, “hello old friend, are you ready for our next dance because FEBs spring is near !!”
