Russian Defense Ministry 'Ready' To Implement Putin-Trump Security Agreements

Source: Newsweek

The Russian military has announced that it is “ready” to implement “international security” agreements reached by U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Helsinki summit on Monday.

"The Russian Defense Ministry is ready for practical implementation of the agreements in the sphere of international security,” ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said Tuesday, according to Russian news agency Tass. He added that Russia is “ready to enliven contact with the U.S. colleagues, between our General Staffs and via other communication channels.”

Konashenkov specifically referenced the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), cooperation in Syria and “other issues” regarding military security.

When it comes to the Syrian conflict, Trump and Putin appeared aligned in their press conference, signaling a stark reversal of U.S. policy that has long called for the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

What did Trump give away? If it was in writing it needs to be made public, and quickly.

Did Trump give Alaska back to Russia in exchange for the pee tapes?

Seriously, this is bullshit, making agreements in secret with Putin of all people.

What was promised? What was disclosed? What was given away?

WTF? Is there anything left to our government, or is it now exclusively "The Executive?" Has Trump simply assumed the right to run the United States of America by decree?

Mr. Mueller, our Nation turns its lonely eyes to you . . .
