Russia cannot protect Nord Stream effectively therefore they are unlikely to want to own it. A solution is to allow a US coalition to rebuild and own the pipelines and carry the risk. This way Russia makes money but it retains control as well as the valves can be turned and closed any moment therefore deals have to be reached acceptable for all sides.

Since when dealing with USA I'd reliable? Since when it's okay to turn your back on your friends and helping your common enemy to crush them is a reliable solution for a sovereign country?

US -Russian partnership HOOORAH. Don & Vlad make this partnership for the good of both countries & the World. Then the two of you will become the most important people in HISTORY.

Problem is that in 3 years or less there will be a different bunch in the WH and who knows what they will do.

I don't believe Trump can make the decision without approval from his boss Bibi

Actually, relations between Russia and Israel are not that bad. Former PM Bennett played a go-between between Russia and the West in the early months of the Ukraine war.

Bad idea, again. Russia can make no concessions or rotten deals like this so Trump comes out looking good. But, what is more important, Russia must realize that the USA/UK/EU strategic goal is to crush Russia any way they can. What is happening now in Iran is what Russia can look forward to. China as well.

Poutine said, two days ago, that he will stop selling Gaz to UE. If he change his mind, he will pass for a inconstant pussy.

Darras he showed that already many times, how many red lines crossed so far??? What response, oh do something that should have happened 2 years before.

VVP wants business back to normal for his oligarchs that is number one.

In 2000 Russia had no $billionares now Russia has 147 $billionares, all the wealth of the Russian people stolen under VVP. He supports and protects billionares while jailing Russian nationalists.

Knowing the USA has been at war with the Soviet Union and now Russia for more than a century, would such a plan make any sense? Russia can choose between China that says and does not coerce or bomb other countries, has been supporting Russia for a while or the opposite side that even attacked its nuclear bombers, etc.

this could only be a long term European recovery/Russia detente process - simply because of the timelines involved.

Is the US/Israel is planning to jeapodize middle east oil for decades, in order to restrict China/Asia/Africa?

Returning to Russia gives the collective west huge advantages in such a scenario.

That's completely reasonable if the straights of Hormuz get blocked...
