Trump called Putin on the occasion. Also probably wished Putin happy Russia Day.

To paraphrase Don Bacon, Russia is Mexico with nuclear weapons but Trump has elevated them to the status of the Soviet Union.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff had been set to travel on Sunday to Oman for a sixth round of talks with Iranian officials aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program — a meeting that was set before Israel launched strikes on Friday. But Oman’s foreign minister, Badr al-Busaidi, said on Saturday that the meeting would not take place as planned.

Trump said Putin also wished him “a Happy Birthday.”

What Bacon, a retired general means, the GNP and the capacity to wage war are about the same, yet Trump elevated Russia to our status, leader of the free world.. .

I'm sorry, but you're wrong and Bacon is right.

And life expectancy is even better in Mexico than in Russia (as is freedom, etc. etc.).

FYI: it's not because something can be found on the internet that it's false. You have to PROVE that it's false.

And yes, statistics are the only way to obtain objective info about entire countries. Personal, subjective opinions are worthless for topics like these.
