MOSCOW — The Kremlin says Russia will gratefully accept U.S. President Donald Trump’s offer to provide ventilators for coronavirus patients.
Trump said Wednesday the U.S. was ready to send ventilators to Russia, saying “they’re having a hard time in Moscow. We’re going to help them.” He added the U.S. also stands ready to provide ventilators to other countries, including Italy, Spain and France.
President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov hailed Trump’s offer as “very positive,” saying in Thursday’s call with reporters that “Russia will certainly accept the kind offer if necessary.”
Russia has registered 27,938 coronavirus cases and 232 deaths. Officials have scrambled to secure ventilators and other essential supplies amid an exponential growth in infections.
Earlier this month, Russia sent a planeload of medical supplies, including ventilators to the United States. Moscow says the U.S. paid for half of the medical supplies, while the other half was sponsored by Russia’s state investment fund.
The policy is America First unless it involves Russia, in which case it’s Russia First, always. Thanks, GOP senators. Thanks a whole vodka-breathed bunch.
It’s not “our” stockpile, it’s “his” stockpile. I guess he was able to replenish supplies by sending broken ones to states and confiscating ones that work.
Ask Senator “This isn’t a question of not valuing life” Kennedy if he values Russian lives over American lives.
So this is where Kushner’s “OUR” stockpile and the FED’s seizures of states’ medical supplies are going…Trump’s BFF’s & Faves!
Un-Welcome to the Russian BLAT Corruption System…Trump Edition!
The PuppetMaster that controls the Wanna-Be-King…
Controls the keys to the kingdom!
So, he’ll gladly send life-saving equipment to help Russians, but will not extend the same courtesy to Blue State Governors.
America First? Really?
I can’t wait until Fox State News Service explains this reversal of fortune to the trumpets.
This is DEPLORABLE!!!
Just so we’re clear, the priorities are:
Fuck you, you pigfucker. I hope we all live long enough to kick his smug face to the curb, scoop him up, and throw his fat ass in jail.
