Iconic. “Do you trust the Russians?” Harry Truman was once asked “No. They broke every agreement they ever made with me. That's why I don't trust them,” replied the 33rd President of the United States. 80 years later, nothing has changed…

Later, Richard Nixon said that one should only make self-enforceable deals with Russia, because they don't respect any agreement unless the other party has the means to ensure it is respected.

So, somehow between the two most unpopular presidents in US history, one was spot on and the other an absolute moron. Guess which one is which.

80 yrs later, a large section of American society forgot or are confused as to reality. Revolting, US, Russia’s main adversary, is led by a pro Putin pro dictator movement.

What absolute bollocks. We all now who doesn't keep their word. MOU anyone? Not one inch to the east. Truman was a captured failed politician who was pushed on the people when they knew Roosevelt was dying. Henry A. Wallace should of been president. American politics is full of liars.. Your revisionist history is pathetic.

Nothing has changed in Russia, but changed a lot in the WH: we used to have Great Presidents before… and now just old angry demented clowns

Yep, and it is bipartisan. Why do so many Americans refuse to understand that we have enemies who are just evil, like Russia and Iran, and that you can never work with them or trust them.

We have an old Finnish proverb - “A russki is a russki even if you fry him in butter.”

Nexta propagating war, propagating clowns that are far worse than Putin... The world we live in

Not a good president. He brought us North Korea. Nobody trusted the Soviets during the Cold War, of course.

Why do you pricks compare people from the past with people from today. Russia when Truman was president is a completely different place than it is today, as is America and the rest of the world. Utter fucktards.

Some things never change.

Eighty years later, the question remains: how do you negotiate lasting peace without credible guarantees that agreements will actually be honored? 🇺🇦

The response is basically ‘does it really matter?’

Pas ce que les Usa ont déjà respecté un accord ?? Ta propagande est aussi stupide que ceux qui croient aux accord avec les Usa

Seventy years ago, we had the Truman Doctrine. Today, we have “Fat Orange Dealism”! Russia is sticking to its “proud tradition,” while America is going downhill at breakneck speed!

Even Bismarck didn’t trust Russians! The only one who trusts #Russians is that idiot* #Trump, because he believes that #Putin IS his #BFF! *Even his own mother calls him an idiot! #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Truman was a war criminal, who used the atomic bomb on a defenseless population.

And TRUMP and ELON work for them. Russia has hacked the American Political System and inserted a president. ELON IS WORKING WITH PUTIN ON STARLINK TO KILL UKRAINIANS.

Unfortunatelly, something has changed - the US president believes the russian monsters. Or rather he works for them outright no matter what crimes they keep committing.

Truman was a psychopathic warmonger and kept trying to issue threats against the USSR, he simply wasn’t interested in peace or good relations - that’s obvious. Churchill, who was a maniacal super imperialist, admitted in private that Stalin never broke his word to him.

I say it over and over again. History repeats itself. We in Europe also wanted to believe the Russians after the collapse of the Soviet union. From now on history books should start with: Russia can not be trusted!

I miss when the country was run by statesmen, instead of used car salesmen.

Truman was a surprise: no one expected much of him (FDR considered him a simpleton and kept him uninformed), Stalin was unimpressed too. Truman rose to the occassion, did what was needed to conclude WWII, made correct decisions and was resolute in the postwar dealings with Stalin

yoto Protocol (1997), the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998), and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982)—that the U.S. is often accused of undermining agreements.
