Your vote for Trump was a vote for Putin and Russia - history is happening!: Putin asked for a meeting next month with Trump and Xi Jinping about Ukraine. This meeting if accepted by Trump will cement Russia as one of the world’s three great powers, what Putin has always wanted, and prove that the U.S. is in fact breaking from Europe and aligning with Russia. This new order is exactly what Putin and Xi want to replace the rules-based international one established by the US and its allies after World War II.
