TASS: Putin, Biden hold first phone call at Moscow’s initiative — Kremlin 

Meanwhile, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that it was Biden who had called Putin 

MOSCOW, January 27. /TASS/. The first telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Joe Biden was initiated by Moscow, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday. 

"It was Russia’s initiative," he pointed out. According to Peskov, Moscow suggested a conversation for Putin to congratulate Biden on taking office as US president and for the parties "to discuss the most pressing issues, the main one being the ratification of an agreement on extending the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) and the very extension of the treaty for five years."

WNU Editor: It is always customary for the Kremlin to contact the White House to make arrangements on when the Russian President can call the new U.S. President after he has been sworn in. A date and time is then agreed upon, and the call is made from the Kremlin side. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that it was Biden who had called Putin. I think the White House press secretary's information is wrong. It would be a major break in protocol. 

As to what was discussed between the two leaders. Now this is where it gets interesting. 

We know the U.S. side .... President Biden And Russian President Putin Hold Their First Telephone Conversation (January 26, 2021), but on the Russian side, with the exception of Navalny, the Kremlin is sayin nothing .... Putin explained Navalny situation during phone call with Biden — Kremlin (TASS). In the past the Kremlin always gave their take on what was discussed. But not this time. This is very strange.

  1. Give Putin a break. It is very hard to hold a conversation with an airhead. It was awkward for Putin listening to someone whisper in Biden's ear, commanding Joe like a trained seal, and then Joe repeating it to Putin.

    Putin would rather spend an evening going to the opera with Lyudmila, his ex, than to listen stumbling Joe slur his words as he reads prepared text.

    Russian security services collected data on who was telling Joe what to do to map the power structure among the White House hoodlums.

  5. Stupid must be worried. She is every upset at the blogpost and comments, which are mostly descriptive except for the prediction and the great pic of Xi walking his dawg.

    The prediction is right or it is wrong. We just have to wait less than 36 hours to see, if it is correct. But missy is all upset and is not content to wait. Her underwear must be bunched up in a knot. This it the thing I don't understand. Most of the time missy likes it like that.

  6. The new administration's comments would be interesting assuming they noted the change and read some silent statement into it.
    I say much ado about nothing at first glance.
