Putin, Trump Offer Few Details in Short Press Conference After Summit
I hope Trump is ready to start his backup plans because Putin isn’t going to do anything.
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have a meeting at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson outside of Anchorage, AK, to discuss the war in Ukraine.
Deal? No deal?
I’m seeing both, which means Trump and Putin made progress, but the war in Ukraine won’t stop after this summit.
They spoke behind closed doors for three hours.

.@POTUS: I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on… There's no deal until there's a deal. I will call up NATO… I'll of course call up President Zelensky and tell him about today's meeting… We really made some great progress. pic.twitter.com/qEnZHW5D9i

Putin does not want peace, he wants Ukraine as a puppet state like the USSR had.
which Trump will give him parts of,…Hannity was blabbing trying to lower expectations with Putin will keep the land, and have no NATO for Ukraine, with the removal of sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil,..a win for Putin all around
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Russia does not want Nukes next door.
Remember, JFK had the same concern.
When Germany was unified, Russia removed its troops from Germany in exchange for the west’s promise that NATO would not expand East.
The West is not to be trusted.
Putin’s special military action is defensive to prevent having nukes next door.
Also, the Ukraine and Russia had an agreement to settle the dispute.
The West persuaded Ukraine to tube the agreement.
Putin is the one with the white hat!
Putin is evil. Pure and simple
Zelenskyy does not want peace, because the moment peace is declared and the war ends he’s out of a job and he knows he will suffer the same fate as Mussolini once he no longer has state protection.

Putin brought over 100 businessmen with him
I think he’s going to play
Let me guess that every one of them is under sanction and we don’t do business with them anyways.
Under sanctions because of the tension between Russia and America
That’s why they came, to get this overwith so they can do business again
yeah, he’s gonna play Trump like a stradivarius
This is the democrats wet dream and is, sadly for them, not reflected in reality.
What will make me laugh is the Nobel Peace prize coming Trumps way for all the peace treaties he’s been arranging around numerous hotspots in the last 7 months. That is orders of magnitude more than Barry and Biden combined ever achieved 😂😂
He’ll never get it.
They’ll make up a new rule that “felons can’t have our Peace Prize.”
Based on what? The Steele Dossier?
What actually happened was Trump came on so strong he hurt Putin’s itty bitty feelings and he went back home crying like a baby.
Putin got nothing, they flew bombers over his head and treated the Russia media with disdain
Cause Homey ( Trump ) don’t play that…
In a perfect world, every other country would have isolated Putin and cut off all trade with Russia until they withdrew. Instead, countries like India continued to buy Russian crude to resell to Europe and European countries pretended they didn’t know they were helping Putin.
Europe was also buying from Russia prior to buying from India. Europe made themselves Gazproms bitch thanks to net zero.
In a perfect world Zalensky would still be a comedian, Putin would still be in the KGB and Trump would be in his third term.
So many people have made utter fools of themselves underestimating Donald Trump (first and foremost the Manchurian president by mocking him at the WHCD lo those many years ago) that I am not about to join in the chorus of naysayers.
We would all be much better off if the Ukraine and Russia stopped trying to kill one another. That much we can agree on and should be praying happens.
I absolutely do not care. If Putin were so dangerous why don’t the EUtopians cut social spending and beef up their own defense? They could also stop buying oil from Putin.
Trump should make the best deal possible for the US. The real threat to America is the deep state, the media, Antifa, the Communist politicians in Congress, and #Resistance Federal judges.
3 hours.. over, both said it went well, next talk will be in Moscow
No questions from the clowns
Good
Always the showman
Wait till the end

It went nowhere. Russia made insane demands and that was the end. The luncheon was canceled and Putin left quickly
The extreme discretion with which both spoke makes me think that there really was not all that much progress. We shall see.

The tea leaves are still in the can. The single point to all of this is that Europe doesn’t matter anymore. The pivot is to the Pacific power structure. Banking on Europe and the EU is worthless (hopeless) now. Two points to immediately end the war…. Russia keeps what it has and the US pulls militarily out of NATO. After over a century of propping up Europe, it’s time to leave…in the long run nothing remains of value. Eurabia is beyond redemption.
Few details is an understatement. But the pundits will tell us what to think. What would we do without them?
The B-2 flyover was a nice touch.
It was 🤩 awesome
Russia v Ukraine reminds me of the North v South in the US Civil War. The combination of more soldiers and more industrial might will win out in the long run. IMO Russia can continue this indefinitely while Ukraine can not, even with Western aid. If I am right, ceasefire and peace deals have to recognize battlefield realities. So far Ukraine seems unrealistic.
So you think Ukraine should voluntarily get into the boxcars and go to the camps?
I think Ukrainians will keep dying because Russia has the will and the manpower to ensure that happens.
I think Ukrainians will keep dying because Zelenskyy knows that if a deal is declared and the war ends he’s out of a job as Ukrainian presidential elections will immediately take place and he will be kicked out of office for his incompetent handling of the war. And he and his wife will meet the same fate as Mussolini did in WWII. So the war continues, Ukrainians continue to die, all to keep that pusillanimous little s*** in power.
IMO a better result for Ukraine might be the Korean one, to create a permanent boundary. But I do not see other countries putting boots on the ground there to create a true stalemate. Russia has nearly 4 times the population and is also getting soldiers from elsewhere. It also has the historical mindset to “grind it out”.
One problem with a Korean style boundary. What happens when after a year or so the Russian armies storm across it? Neither we nor Europe will have the inclination or ability to stop them. And all parties involved know it. I am not saying that is a good thing, just that it would be almost a certain thing.
