Current Events > Russia announces that it is ready for military cooperation w/ US after Helsink

(+) Yeah! (+)

Washington (CNN) Russia announced it was ready to pursue agreements reached by Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump "in the sphere of international security," though the White House and Pentagon would not confirm any agreements had been made or offer any details.

Trump and Putin met for about two hours during their summit in Helsinki with only translators present. It is still not clear what the two men discussed or agreed to during their meeting.

"The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is ready for practical implementation of the agreements reached between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in the sphere of international security achieved at the Helsinki summit," Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a Russian military spokesman, said in a statement Tuesday.

The Russian military "is ready to intensify contacts with the US colleagues in the General Staff and other available channels to discuss the extension of the START treaty, cooperation in Syria, as well as other issues of ensuring military security," Konashenkov said.

The National Security Council would not confirm what Trump had agreed to in the one-on-one with Putin. A spokesman for the NSC told CNN on Tuesday that they were still "reviewing the discussion."

"The Helsinki summit was the beginning of a process between the United States and Russia to reduce tensions and advance areas of cooperation in our mutual interest," the spokesman said. "We are reviewing the discussion between President Trump and President Putin, considering possible next steps, and have nothing further to announce at this time."

The Pentagon declined to comment.

Nah, it's nowhere that bad. Trump only agreed to appoint Putin as the next POTUS.

I wonder if Trump and Putin actually agreed to anything like this or if Russia is having fun making Trump look worse.

It's sad that it could go either way.

Lol

Putin: "how can we help our little bitch get out of the mess he's in?"

Uh... I mean the New START's original term is going to expire in a couple of years and one of the provisions is literally that both sides can extend it. They're not really recreating the wheel there, in theory it wouldn't require any negotiations or anything, just a simple "Yes we'll extend this thing that's already in effect for another five years".
