Russian and U.S. Presidents issue rare joint statement, signalling need to work together for “common goal.”
Russia and the United States on Saturday commemorated a historic meeting of U.S. and Soviet forces during World War II as an example of how their countries can “build trust and cooperate.”
The meeting of Soviet and American forces at the Elbe river in Germany on April 25, 1945 is seen as a milestone in World War II, foreshadowing the defeat of the Nazis.
A joint statement by Russian leader Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump on the 75th anniversary said the Elbe meeting illustrated how the two countries could work together.
It is “an example of how our countries can set aside differences, build trust and cooperate in the name of a common goal,” according to a statement published by the Kremlin and White House.
“As we work today to confront the most important challenges of the 21st century, we pay tribute to the valour and courage of all those who fought together to defeat fascism,” it added.
“Their heroic feat will never be forgotten.”
In a video published on Twitter, U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan said the meeting at the Elbe was “a symbol of what we can achieve when we work together for a common cause.”

What a load of fucking BS. Perhaps the WH can give us one example of Russia being trustworthy.
Puke!
Exactly what I thought when I read it.
“we pay tribute to the valour and courage of all those who fought together to defeat fascism”.
Now that is absolutely outrageous, as well as uniquely ignorant. The lickspittle who wrote that cannot see the irony of a democracy collaborating in this way with a filthy dictatorship that is itself a textbook definition of fascism. Worth noting that putler said that Russian interference in 2016 was by ‘Jews’. As well as of course Ukrainians, who he regards in the same way as he regards Jews. Indeed, the word ‘Kulak’ is a racial slur, meaning ‘tight-fisted’ and was the justification for rabid anti-semites Lenin and Stalin for murdering millions of Ukrainians.
Whoever wrote the “joint statement” obviously doesn’t consider Putin’s Moskovia as fascist. This sounds like something Pisscough would write.

The groveling bastard.
Ironically, were it not for that insane quirk, I would not much mind the guy and could even forgive him for the well-meaning but fatuous and ignorant ‘advice’ about injecting disinfectant. (Although he should certainly recommend this ‘treatment’ for the tiny poisoner).
Immigration policy : broadly correct.
Economic policy : broadly correct.
China policy : broadly correct.
Iran policy : broadly correct.
Attitude to Britain : broadly correct and superior to the sneering contempt and groveling to the frogs of Obama.
Russia/Ukraine/Georgia policy : catastrophic and terrible. Him personally, not the GOP.
