This is nuts. Kremlin spox Peskov says Trump accepted Putin’s offer to send a flight w #coronavirus medical equipment to US. Details willl be handled at the working level. Hopefully someone will tell Trump that he’s playing right into a propaganda ploy https://t.co/TbVQ0BPY3j pic.twitter.com/xAuF0Ak2Kp

It’s mind boggling to me. In 2012 USAID was asked to leave Russia because the Kremlin said „it didn’t need US assistance anymore.” (Of course there were many other motivations.) And here we are, blithely accepting this help. It’s an absolute PR victory.

Not to mention that while Putin is sending supplies here, Russia has also “received more than a million face masks and 200,000 coronavirus testing kits as a gift from Jack Ma”. So what exactly is Russia sending to the US?https://t.co/oYMNfiQv1n
