The Rossiya Special Flight Squadron and its fleet of aircraft are responsible for transporting high-ranking Kremlin officials and the president.

Summary

A Russian presidential plane from the Kremlin’s Rossiya Special Flight Squadron visited New York and Washington, D.C., in late December, sparking speculation amid tense U.S.-Russia relations.

Moscow claimed the flight carried rotating diplomats, but its timing raises questions about Trump’s potential dealings with Vladimir Putin.

Trump has promised to end the Ukraine war in a day, alarming NATO officials who fear a deal that could harm Kyiv and alter NATO’s eastern border dynamics.

The flight highlights ongoing diplomatic maneuvering ahead of Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

    This isn’t a fucking game. Stationing nuclear weapons in Ukraine would literally lead to ww3.

      I see a curious and complete lack of substantive response after I already elucidated with Game Theory (That you equate this to “game” suggests you don’t actually understand what Game Theory is) the options at hand.

      Ergo, my point still remains wholly intact.

        You apply game theory to lower stakes situations like prisoners flipping to get their sentence reduced, not the chance or nuclear war.

        Edit: For the record, you sound like a complete twat that nobody wants to be around.

          What? No. Just no.

          I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with anything else you said but this is very wrong.

          For the record, you still haven’t actually addressed the logic at hand. You simply keep, wrongly, suggesting there are limits where one can apply game theory when MAD of the Cold War is almost by definition textbook Game Theory.

          To your Ad Hominem, honestly, I don’t particularly desire to be around most of them all that much either so it works out. I have my loved ones and I’m content. Go to your parties and drink; leave geopolitics to me I guess?

          Bonus history lesson:

          The first mathematical discussion of the prisoner’s dilemma appeared, and an experiment was undertaken by mathematicians Merrill M. Flood and Melvin Dresher, as part of the RAND Corporation’s investigations into game theory. RAND pursued the studies because of possible applications to global nuclear strategy.[15]

          Extremely childish and bullying.

          I can guarantee by your edit, that your personality is absolute garbage and more likely than not, people don’t want to be around you. You’re probably not even aware of it because of your own narcissism.
