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.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 11 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

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 3 points 11 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.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 51 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 48 points 11 months ago

If the US farted 20 year old tech in the Kremlin's direction it would crumble. We don't have to be more careful about shit. Slava Ukraine!

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 45 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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.

[–] DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

Putin, mate… you’ve lost several tons of military machinery to cardboard suicide drones. I think we can safely say that you and your military are a non-issue.

[–] occhionaut@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All i want for christmas is Putin's bloody head on a stick outside Kyev

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

throw his body at the elephant's foot!

Do you want radioactive super Putin? Because that's how you get radioactive super Putin.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I'm guessing this is a reference I'd get better if I'd watched Chernobyl.

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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

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

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.

[–] Isthisreddit@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 22 points 11 months ago

Shut up, Putin.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Who the fuck cares what that genocidal maniac wants!

[–] ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world 20 points 11 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

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

Dick-takor.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

malleable

That's what he means.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

They’d like a Russian President who is less destructive.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 12 points 11 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...

[–] toastus@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Barely fend off?

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

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Oh, I laughed, I get it.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] 22decembre@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Arin@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 8 points 11 months ago

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

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 7 points 11 months ago

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

… not to step in this shıt 🤦‍♂️

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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.

wait, you didn't summarize anything?

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

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