Russian plane takes off for U.S. with coronavirus aid onboard

A Russian military transport plane took off from an airfield outside Moscow early on Wednesday and headed for the United States with a load of medical equipment and masks to help Washington fight coronavirus, Russian state TV reported.

“Trump gratefully accepted this humanitarian aid,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was cited as saying by the Interfax news agency on Tuesday night. Trump himself spoke enthusiastically about the Russian help after his call with Putin. In Russia, where some doctors have questioned the accuracy of official data, the official tally of confirmed cases is 2,337 cases with 17 deaths.

Is this aid? Or is this simply where equipment is manufactured and it’s been purchased?

Better Russian than Chinese.

But what is. China thinking

Trump hero is Putin...

My Suspicious mind wonders how contaminated the supplies are coming from Russia and China

Putin is Trump's hero.

What's wrong with having a good relationship with Russia? Maybe its time we get off the high horse, use some diplomacy and at least try to normalize relations.
