Vladimir Putin would prefer an American leader who understands the ‘importance of dialogue,’ Kremlin spokesman says.

Russian President Vladimir Putin would prefer an American president who is “more constructive” toward Russia and understands the “importance of the dialogue” between the two countries, the Kremlin said on Friday.

Asked whether Putin could work with the Republican front-runner in the U.S. election, former President Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told broadcaster NBC News that the Russian leader would be ready to work with “anyone who will understand that from now on, you have to be more careful with Russia and you have to take into account its concerns.”

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, relations between the West and Moscow have deteriorated, with Washington and its allies imposing wide-ranging sanctions on individuals and entities having links with Moscow regime.

I would like a Russian president who's less of a mass murdering cunt.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Concerning the current ~~dictator~~ "president", less alive would work for me as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm a bit afraid to see the one who'd be the successor. It'd either be a disaster, or another kind of disaster

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It’s just like republicans. Every time for years when I’ve thought “phew, that shitbag is finally gone”, they manage to come up with someone worse.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 8 months ago

Yeah. And the world wants a Russian president whos less invader-ey.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This motherfucker wants someone "who understands the ‘importance of dialogue'" after he invaded Russia's neighboring country, straight up stole land & children and sanctioned his troops raping, pillaging and murdering civilians?!?

Putin is not a serious person on any level. His words and actions have no business being treated in a serious manner.
He should be hunted down and disposed of like a rabid dog.
He's not a human. Just trash.
Fucking cancerous trash.

Awww, wassamatta, Vladdie? You missing Donnie's soft lips on your rotten dick?

[–] ThrowawayPermanente 7 points 8 months ago

He misses the way Trump's tiny little hands made his dick look so big

[–] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

You do realize that it was Trump's administration (of course not him personally) that helped to arm Ukraines forces after Minsk2? I'm still baffled by this to this date and I don't hope we ever see him again as president, but yeah his administration was partially responsible that the Ukrainian forces could defend themselves against the Russian invaders because of military equipment, advisors and exchange of knowledge.

So I'm not so sure if Putin wants his administration back at this very point in the war.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Not sure why you’d describe it that way. Trump tried to extort Ukraine to lie about Biden in exchange for weapons (and was impeached for it), then grudgingly did what Congress had already approved.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Even a broken (analog) clock can be right twice a day (to mis-quate a trite phrase).

I wonder (as I don't know) how much Traitor's administration did shit around it's back, or what Putin's Fleshlight's motivation was for arming Ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

from now on you have to be more careful with Russia

What? You've shown your entire military is a joke. If anything, everyone knows they can wreck your military with little effort. The only defense you have at this point is your nuclear weapons. But you can't really use those or you'll turn the entire world against you.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Russia still has a lot of meat for the grinder, it's like Russian white walkers

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yes meat, but it’s not as easy to make tanks and munitions and armor as it is to force women to give birth.

Add to that the fact that China is struggling economically and have their own military goals, so they cannot keep supplying putler

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

Who the fuck cares what that genocidal maniac wants!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Americans want a Russian president who is less of an imperial bastard but we can all dream, can't we? Glory to Ukraine forever

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You want a US president with a greater appetite for Russian dictator penis.

Dick-takor.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Shut up, Putin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

malleable

That's what he means.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They wanted the invasion of Ukraine to make Russia seem more serious and intimidating on a world scale and instead it's like oh, you guys could barely fend off California...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Barely fend off?

They wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell against California.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ha ha, true. But I mean that they’re struggling against a country the size of 1-2 us states while posturing as if they’re military or economic equals with the US.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah all in good fun, I didn't mean anything bad with my post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Oh, I laughed, I get it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Only if they don’t pick up reinforcements from Florida.

[–] vaultdweller013 2 points 8 months ago

We wont need florida, we've got San Bernardino, Fresno, and Bakersfield.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Says the asshole hell bent on destroying as much progress as possible.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What I want to read from Putin is: "I'm withdrawing my troops from Ukraine"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

"... and paying reparations for the damage caused."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

"...and going to stick a fragmentation grenade up my own ass, live streamed on X™ with my good friend, Comrade Musk."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

You're dreaming a bit too much there, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

IDK at this point Russia would have to offer territory to Ukraine as an apology for me to feel better

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Fuck Putler. Oh, he wants something? Well, he can want in one hand and shit in the other.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

…from now on, you have to be more careful…

… not to step in this shıt 🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Back atcha poot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

And I want a safe world for everyone, but that's not gonna happen. Hopefully his wishes will not be granted, too 😠

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That photo looks doctored to the point of being creepy. Does his makeup look like that or was photo filtered to achieve that effect?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I'd guess both, not sure if we will even stop seeing dat face talking after he's dead

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Russian President Vladimir Putin would prefer an American president who is “more constructive” toward Russia and understands the “importance of the dialogue” between the two countries, the Kremlin said on Friday.

Asked whether Putin could work with the Republican front-runner in the U.S. election, former President Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told broadcaster NBC News that the Russian leader would be ready to work with “anyone who will understand that from now on, you have to be more careful with Russia and you have to take into account its concerns.”

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, relations between the West and Moscow have deteriorated, with Washington and its allies imposing wide-ranging sanctions on individuals and entities having links with Moscow regime.

Moscow has long accused the West of igniting and sustaining the war, with Putin saying: “Ukraine has become hostage of the Kyiv regime and its Western masters, which have effectively occupied the country.”

In the interview with NBC, Peskov repeated Moscow’s accusation that the United States of causing the war in Ukraine.

“It is a hybrid war that the United States is orchestrating against our country,” he said.
