Russia sends plane full of medical supplies to US
​

Russia has dispatched a cargo plane with masks and medical equipment to the US after Donald Trump accepted an offer of humanitarian aid from Vladimir Putin to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

The plane, a Russian Antonov An-124-100 military transport, left from Chkalovsky airfield outside Moscow on Tuesday night and will arrive in the US on Wednesday after refuelling at Shannon airport in Ireland. Footage from the plane broadcast by Russian state television showed stacks of cardboard boxes in the cargo hold.

The delivery is likely to stir controversy among critics of Trump, who have said Putin will portray the goodwill gesture as a public relations coup and use it to bolster Russia’s efforts to escape sanctions for meddling in the 2016 US elections.

Masks and other medical equipment are also in short supply in Russia, where the number of infected with coronavirus rose by 440 on Wednesday to a confirmed 2,777 cases. The Moscow mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, warned Putin last week that the official tally of cases underestimated the severity of the outbreak.

COMMENT:-

It's all an evil commie plot and fake news - right?

Besides, it's not a patch on the stuff that the US sent to Russia in WWII and not even a tiny fraction of the stuff that the US government has been sending to other countries to help them deal with the fact so-called "COVID-19 crisis" (Which was actually invented by Obama/Clinton.) - right?

Of course, it's a public relations coup, just as our sending humanitarian supplies to other nations is the same. We should accept it graciously and then respond in kind. Our two nations may not be allies any time soon, but there is no need to make things worse than they already are.

Thank you Russia. It's a nice gesture.

 

[Drawdown]

Hummmmm maybe they are delivering smallpox blankets to the injuns. I would quarantine their cargo awhile to be safe.

Just as everything Donald Trump says and does is calculated to make him look good with the FOX News audience, so it is with Putin who wants to show he is strong and able to rescue the American people.

Quite likely, and that is why America should send those commie masks, ventilators, and drugs back to Russia.

Besides they are probably contaminated with that Commie Originated Virus Imperilling Democracy crap (as if any patriotic, right-thinking, patriotic, hard working, patriotic, honest, patriotic, real, patriotic, true, patriotic, conservative, patriotic, Christian, patriotic, White, patriotic, American, patriotic, patriot would be dumb enough not to see the obvious connection).

The drunk Boris Yelsin has outlawed the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1991. A new Communist Party of the Russian Federation was founded in 1993 but they are the political enemies of Vladimir Putin who is anti-Communist and leads the nationalist United Russia party. You didn't know this. Did you?

The statement this sends to the world is really something.

Government squabbles should always take a back seat to humanitarian aid. There are plenty of countries in this world whose governments I despise. There are no countries in this world whose people I despise.

Russia sends 60 TONS of medical supplies to the US

That is the thread I posted about this on April 2.

Unfortunately, instead of being happy that life saving supplies were being made available, several posters were willing to look a gift horse in the mouth. I can assure you that not one person who was helped by this did so.

You have to remember how these people play. Putin is good when they can use him against our country, and Putin is very bad when he helps our country.

 

[Dittohead not!]

Russia, with a GDP lower than that of the State of California, is able to send medical supplies to the United States. Meanwhile, the only way our astronauts can get into space is by riding a Russian rocket.

This 51 years after we won the space race.

I really am not sure what we should conclude from that, but it doesn't mean we want the Russians to participate in any more elections.

But, we should accept their gift in with good grace. I'm sure we'll pay it forward in time.

Indeed -

RUSSIA "We see that the people of the United States of America are suffering so, while we are ramping up our production of needed supplies so that we can meet out own demands, we are sharing, without any cost to the recipients, what we have to help them out."

CHINA "We see that the people of the United States of America are suffering so, while we are ramping up our production of needed supplies so that we can meet out own demands, we are sharing, without any cost to the recipients, what we have to help them out."

DONALD TRUMP "The people of the United States of America are suffering (for which I take no responsibility) from what I always said was likely to be a major attack of disease (for which I take no responsibility) that would have a huge negative effect on the US economy (for which I take no responsibility), so that means that I am ramping up production of needed supplies but am forbidding American firms (and individuals) from sending anything that we might need to any other country and cancelling all existing contracts which would send any needed supplies to other countries."
​

And the world will notice the difference.

PS - It doesn't matter if the Russian and Chinese statements are true, because what matters is what people think is true.
