Putin tells Obama he wants dialogue based on equality and respect

MOSCOW

Russian President Vladimir Putin called for dialogue based on equal treatment and mutual respect with the United States on Saturday in a congratulatory message to President Barack Obama marking U.S. Independence Day.

Putin said U.S.-Russian relations remained important for solving global crises. The two countries have disagreements over the conflict in Ukraine, defence matters and democracy.

"In his message of congratulations, the Russian President noted that, despite the differences between the two countries, Russian-American relations remain the most important factor of international stability and security," the Kremlin said in a statement.

Putin expressed confidence that Russia and the United States could find solutions to the most complicated international issues and meet global threats and challenges together if they based their relationship on the principles of equality and respect for each other's interests, the Kremlin added.

The statement did not provide further details and did not mention Western sanctions imposed over Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis and Moscow's annexation of Crimea peninsula from Ukraine in 2014.

The wording of the message was similar to last year's congratulatory message to Obama.

He will never get that from O. O doesn't respect anybody else. Sounds like Putin wants to avoid a war.

Narcissists are not capable of respecting another 'lesser person.'

Putin tells Obama he wants dialogue based on equality and respect

Can't have that. Obama with his patented Mussolini pose thinks that he is superior to just about any other man on the planet. The chief narcissist doesn't have the capability to treat a peer as an equal let alone respect him. If we respected Putin we wouldn't have interjected ourselves in Ukraine and once again made a holy mess out of it.

How can you have a dialogue based on equality and respect when one of them is inferior and does not deserve respect.

And I'm not talking about the Russian.

I think that Putin just made a play on words here. Equal equality and respect is what the o wants for blacks, so Russia is throwing o's words back at him.
