>Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Monday he has earned U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing in seeking closer ties with Russia in a bid to resolve a long-standing territorial row over islands off Hokkaido that Japan wants returned.
>“President Trump understands Japan’s (policy) to promote dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin to resolve the territorial issue,” Abe told a TV program after returning from the United States, where he held his first summit with Trump on Friday and Saturday in Washington and Florida.
>Trump has adopted a softer stance toward Russia than his predecessor, Barack Obama, who was at odds with Putin over the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.
>The Obama administration had been cautious about Abe courting Putin with economic cooperation and even requested that he refrain from visiting Russia at one point, government sources said earlier.
Trump is so cucked by Putin and the Kremlin that he's also begging our allies to start trading with Russia again.
So, better be angsty burger and play in "confrontation"? Your foreign policy was just laughable during king Obongo. You wanna more of that?
Jonathan Stewart
The 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.
Hudson Sanchez
I'm still totally behind being friends with Russbros, and all of the elite can suck my shriveled, atrophied nuts on this stupid holiday that I'm totally not bitter about
At all
Michael Peterson
>Drumpf is cucked because he wants to talk things over with them!!! >You're supposed to just threaten them with sanctions upon sanctions stupid Drumpfkins!!!!
I'll never understand why the left is so hostile towards Russia.
Sebastian Walker
trump is trying to drive a wedge between russia and china.
Christian Williams
Russia doesn't deserve special treatment. It should just fall in line. Only the remnants of the USSR military industrial complex make it relevant.
Nathan Turner
Oh the fucking irony of a Russian complaining about us trying to drive a wedge between two countries. Before Trump finally capitulated on the One China policy, it looked like we were going to have a trade war with China, which is what Russia wants.
Christian Howard
They will play nice with you in hopes of you ditching China.
Like Nixon went to China and successfully soured Sino-Soviet relations they now want to do the same but in reverse.
Jayden Diaz
b-but Russia is a white nationalist christian country, we should fall in line behind Russia and let them run the world
Grayson Edwards
It's because the Russians are always the bad guys in movies and video games. You know how the left gets their political beliefs from pop culture.
Noah Phillips
>Russia doesn't deserve special treatment
That's the whole point. All Russian need is to fuck off already.
>Only the remnants of the USSR military industrial complex make it relevant.
Ukraine had nukes and ICBMs, baltic states had soviet top-end military electronics, and other bumfuckistans had plenty of arms too after USSR. But they destroyed it and chosed to be NATO bitches. They had their chance to be relevant too btw.
Leo Wilson
Aww the poor plucky russians, why won't someone think of their feelings
Nathaniel Richardson
Russia is one of the few countries standing against globalism and you botch and complain when the U.S. And other countries decide to join in on the movement?
Michael Nelson
Your forgot your harry potter quote.
Ryder Sanders
Russia is too weak and poor to run the world anyway. China's the only country that could conceivably counter American influence globally, and they don't want to do that.
Putin's aim is just to restore control over the former Soviet sphere anyway. None of the Russian government's actions really impact the West, except for that plane they blew up.
Andrew Wright
>HURR DURR WE STILL IN COLD WAR WITH RUSSIA GUISE
You people never cease to amaze me. One minute you screech autistically about hate and racial divide, but then turn around and do the EXACT same things.
Saged and hidden.
Elijah Moore

Asher Bailey
But Russia is greatest ally.
Carter Carter
Your president kneels like a bitch Igor.. get rekt.
Joshua Wright
peace is a dream we've been chasing for a long time.
:)
William Cruz

love putin and trump and abe btw.
true world peace soon if they can get kim onboard.
Henry Wright
Russia is a threat that Trump underestimates and the Left exaggerates. If it wasnt for Nato Putin wouldve already invaded the Baltics and Poland.
Kayden Thompson
>I HAVE NO TIES TO RUSSIA! >coerces other leaders to respect Russia
What a fucking Russian puppet.
Jackson Peterson
Some elvish king or something.
Mason Foster
he wants world peace. particularly, peace with russia. dumbass shill.
Parker Harris
i dream of a day when men don't have to bow to elves anymore. but that day is far off.
Dylan Torres
abe with the backstab
Liam Myers
You mean appeasement while Russia carves up countries on its borders.
Japan is basically our vassal state we tell them how to run their shit, we wrote their constitution. We want better relations with Russia, we're letting our ally know.
Jordan Wood
Daily reminder that Soviet Union agreed to return some Kuril island to Japan already in 1956, but US blocked the deal. US didn't want these two countries to have good relations with each other.
It's time that US stops preventing other countries to make a formal peace.
Jason Rivera
i really hope russia does do this. russia is one of the last hopes for white people.
Elijah Gray
Maybe if the ungrateful faggots who didn't spend their 2% actually did they wouldn't be shitting your pants at the thought of USA backing out of Europe.
Kevin Barnes
Nationalism worldwide
Dylan Cooper
they should be independent. no more america
Tyler Lewis
>hurr durr not wanting war with Russia means you're cucked by Putin This is good. The global order is being redrawn in our favor, now if only we could do something about those filthy sunni monarchies, if only we could swith it for Iran, but Israel won't like that. Could we meme an Israeli-Iran peace? Why the fuck do those Shia care about sunni palestinians anyway?
Nathan Morgan
coming from china. a country that hasn't been independent since communists overthrew it removed anyone who had a different opinion.
you've been under communist occupation so long you're no longer even communist, but still without the culture that you had for thousands of years.
Adam Kelly
>hurr durr unless we let Russia have its way with everything then Russia will feel threatened and lash out against the world
Wyatt Young
We spend 2% on defence though
Joshua Parker
>one of like four NATO countries who actually meets targets pictured
You can't just measure spending in your own fucking currency and pretend that means we all failed.
Juan Nguyen
Sino-Soviet relations were sour way before Nixon
As early as the late 50s
Cameron Gray
Tibet and Taiwan should be free and independent, no more China.
Lincoln Morris

Jaxson Hill
I believe Clinton had a secret deal with China to nuke Russia, I mean that's the only way I can make sense of her wanting to wage war with Russia. We should nuke China.
James Thomas
but that's not what he said at all
Charles Wright
Tell me one bad thing about Russia that you couldn't say about Israel
Luis James
It's happening, you're do for another century of humiliation anyway.
Ethan Wood
Pretty sure that is Sauli Niinistö, the finnish president.
Hunter Gomez
More Russians in anime when?
Jacob Collins
russia is full of subhuman slavs
Charles Roberts
So is Israel
Justin King
But we told them Russia is the enemy and called them racists! Putin stole our election, remember?

Adam Walker
Dude they have congress full of hardcore russia-haters, all of whom has been in power for longer than trump and will stay in power after his terms are over Its so not happening i honestly dunno what trump is even hoping for
Gabriel Williams

Is this a shop, or is Japan really that unapologetic?
Jonathan Richardson
It's not begging. They took fucking Crimea and we decimated their economy. Could you imagine if Mexico said fuck u and ur wall time for sanctions and the entire world sanctions us for being racist to spics that's literally the same fucking logic. George soros literally raped Ukraine. Fuck that kike
Luke Bennett
Reminder the elites plan was to Nuke Russia and destroy America via mad. Then China is free to be numero uno. Their goal is only to remove white power hence destruction of Judea Christian countries
Jack Cooper
He really doesn't want those tapes released.
Angel Lopez

Idiot.

>spends 2% on defence while next door to multiple countries they have been at war with and could still have serious war with >us spends 40% of budget on military and texas alone could take on the combined military of the rest of the western hemisphere why should my tax dollars pay to protect countries that use their tax dollars for its citizens. i couldnt be more excitied for trump to leave europe alone and work with asian countries instead
