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.

    They won’t have a choice. That’s what he meant by ending it in a day. He’ll likely agree to allow Russia to use extreme measures on what the US will then officially consider Russian territory without risking retaliation from the US since it will then be Ukraine who is the aggressor on paper if they don’t withdraw and stand down. And the if NATO refuses to acknowledge the new agreement it will just give Trump the excuse to withdraw from it like he keeps threatening.

      Of course they will.

      He’ll likely agree to allow Russia to use extreme measures

      That will end the NATO alliance. And Europe will continue with many independent countries to support Ukraine.

      it will just gibe Trump the excuse to withdraw from it like he keeps threatening.

      Then the world will dramatically change, and democratic countries can nolonger work with USA, and USA will lose ALL soft power they have.
      I seriously doubt the rest of the US administration and the oligarchy will allow that.

          I CLEARLY write that the rest of the administration would probably stop him.

      Trump backstabbing NATO and switching the US to the Russian side is a great way to find himself at the receiving end of a military and intelligence-agency coup.
