Putin and Trump: The dialogue between the superpowers is promoting peace-seeking change both in Russian and US societies.
It turns out peace is a powerful proposition.
While the peace process in the Ukraine is an urgent and vital priority for the American foreign agenda, it is but a part of the overarching détente process between the nuclear superpowers US and Russia, after the Joe Biden administration from hell managed to degrade relations to the very edge of a confrontation.
With the advent of the second Donald J. Trump administration, things soon started to change.
The few phone calls between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin and the couple of meetings between the two delegations are just a kickstart on the complex process of normalization of the bilateral relations, but it has become immediately apparent the enormous potential in the process.
And we are not talking just about the Geopolitical benefits that peace in Europe will bring, but also the immense opportunities contained in renewed economic ties between the US and Russia.

While the decrease from 75% to 40% on those Russians who view the US as ‘hostile’ is already very meaningful, the increase to jaw-dropping 80% on those who support renewed relationship with the US is not6hing but historical.
‘Dialogue works. People listen.’
If things proceed at this pace, really wonderful things may be ahead in a world where Washington and Moscow cooperate.
