"He got off his plane, I got off my plane. There's a warmth there that you can't - you know, there's a decent feeling"

'Disrespectful to Putin': Trump tells why he halted Ukraine meeting to take Russia call

"I wouldn't do that because they have not had the warmest relations. And actually, President Putin wouldn't talk to the people from Europe," he continued. "It was years that he didn't speak to anybody from the White House. And it was a long time that he didn't speak to anybody from Europe. No, it's a fractured relationship.

"And when I came in, I always had, despite the Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, which truly was a very dangerous thing for our country. But despite that, I maintained a very good relationship."

Trump insisted that his fondness for Putin was apparent during their recent meeting in Alaska.

"I mean, you saw that when he got off his plane, I got off my plane," he said. "There's a warmth there that you can't — you know, there's a decent feeling. And it's a good thing, not a bad thing."

and 12 nuclear power blastic missile power submarines carrying 640 warheads. I would rather see Trump & Putin talking than not talking. This is a scary amount of nuclear warheads for a country to have.

Center for Arms Control and Nonproliferation:

“Russia is estimated to possess roughly 5,977 nuclear warheads, of which 1,588 are actively deployed. A slight majority of these weapons are designated as strategic, while the minority appear to be non-strategic (tactical). Consistent with arms control agreements such as START and New START, Russia’s strategic arsenal has decreased significantly since the end of the Cold War.”

Russia’s operational nuclear force consists of 11 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), separated into three classes. The Delta and Boreii, the current active classes, can carry up to 16 SLBMs (the SS-N-23 “Skiff” and the Bulava SS-N-32) that are capable of delivering up to 624 nuclear warheads. Russia’s strategic naval force is currently constructing up to 10 additional and improved Boreii class nuclear submarines, all of which are expected to be completed by 2027 but face severe resource constraints. In addition to their fleet of strategic nuclear submarines, Russia has an additional 26 nuclear-powered submarines that consist of 17 attack SSNs and 9 SSGNs carrying various conventional cruise missiles.
