President Donald Trump says he will be meeting with Russia President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week. He made the announcement on TruthSocial, and it was shared on the social media site X. He said the meeting would be on Aug. 15.
This is a developing story and will be edited throughout the day as information comes in.
US Sen. Dan Sullivan said he talked with the White House earlier on Friday.
“Alaska has been hosting a number of cabinet officials this summer. In June, we hosted his energy team — Sec. Chris Wright, Sec. Doug Burgum and EPA’s Lee Zeldin, and I hosted the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff ‘Raisin’ Cain.’ This week, it was RFK Jr. and the Secretary of Homeland Security on Sunday, and the HUD secretary and Transportation secretary next week. Also the interim commandant of the Coast Guard. Now the president himself,” Sullivan said. “It’s a historic opportunity and it’s appropriate that this is in the most strategic place in the world.”
Congressman Nick Begich commented that “The pursuit of peace requires open dialogue. And it’s encouraging that the dialogue will be occurring at the highest levels here in Alaska, where Russia and America share a historic relationship and geographic proximity. My prayer is that the conversations are productive and result in meaningful progress toward reconciliation.”
History seems to be coming full circle: Russia sold Alaska to the United States in 1867 because the Tsar Alexander II was financially broke due to the war in Crimea, modern day Ukraine. Russia saw Alaska as a financial burden and difficult and expensive to maintain and defend. Now, Trump is meeting with Putin in what is considered, as Sen. Sullivan pointed out, the most strategic location in the world, and they’re likely to be talking about how to resolve the war in Ukraine, which is straining Russia’s finances once again.
“I welcome the upcoming meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Russia’s President Putin being held here in the great state of Alaska. Alaska is the most strategic location in the world, sitting at the crossroads of North America and Asia, with the Arctic to our north and the Pacific to our south. With a mere two miles separating Russia from Alaska , no other place plays a more vital role in our national defense, energy security, and Arctic leadership. What happens in the Arctic and the Pacific impacts Alaska before the rest of the country,” said Gov. Mike Dunleavy. “It’s fitting that discussions of global importance take place here. For centuries, Alaska has been a bridge between nations, and today, we remain a gateway for diplomacy, commerce, and security in one of the most critical regions on earth. The world will be watching, and Alaska stands ready to host this historic meeting.”
Hours later, Sen. Lisa Murkowski wrote darkly of the upcoming meeting: “President Trump announced he will meet with President Putin in Alaska next Friday to continue negotiations to end Russia’s catastrophic war in Ukraine. This is another opportunity for the Arctic to serve as a venue that brings together world leaders to forge meaningful agreements. While I remain deeply wary of Putin and his regime, I hope these discussions lead to genuine progress and help end the war on equitable terms.”
There are going to be wags here who chime in with “funny” comments about President Trump ceding parts of Alaska back to the Russian Federation, yet there are actually disagreements between the United States and Russia over which country has seabed rights in The Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. One hopes President Trump is not interested in ceding any U.S. claims for the sake of assuaging Russia.
How about a compromise? Putin can have Anchorage back. The rest of Alaska will be retained for the normal people.
I vote to request an exchange: Sakhalin island and Kamchatka for Juneau.
Herehere!!
Putin is not coming to Alaska to discuss Alaska ceding any territory to Russia. The meeting was arranged when Steve Witkoff – Trump’s Special Envoy – travelled to Moscow last week to try and determine how much territory Ukraine will loose to the Russians in our failed proxy war. My guess is they will loose a lot!
Gee, thanks for the clarification. And here I was wondering if we’d be pain in rubles or dollars for parts of Alaska.
Putin might offer to buy Alaska back and now that we are purple, Trump may swing a deal with him. Under Bill Walker, we were learning Chinese. Now, it’s Russian.
That be one way for Trump to get rid Murkowski.
I agree! Maybe Putin can take her back to the motherland.
Nah, Putin’s not a buyer – that is, if he’s smart enough to view the goods beforehand. A 30-minute drive through the neighborhoods of Skankorage would sour even a Soviet’s taste for the purchase.
This state is not purple. Peltola got elected on an RCV fluke.
2024 Donald Trump 54.54%, 13.13% margin
2020 Donald Trump 52.83% 10.06% margin
2016 Donald Trump 51.28% 14.73% margin
2012 Mitt Romney 54.80 13.99% margin
2008 John McCain (with Palin) 59.42% 21.53% margin
2004 George W. Bush 61.07% 25.55% margin
2000 George W. Bush 58.62% 30.95% margin
1996 Bob Dole Republican 50.80% 17.53% margin
1992 George H. W. Bush 39.46% 9.17% margin (Perot almost beat Clinton for 2nd)
The only Democrat to ever carry Alaska was LBJ in 1964.
We had Mark Begich in the Senate for one term, thanks to Ted Stevens’ illegal conviction and we had Peltola, as noted, for one term.
Trump is the consumate deal maker. No one can deny that. But the meeting with Putin would be a lot more productive if they met at Delta, Alaska where there is a large Russian immigrant population. There, they could drink vodka and eat Russian food on American soil, then go on a bison hunt together. Maybe even give Putin a tour of our nuclear interceptors based at Fort Greely. That’s the way you do business with Putin.
Great idea tim!
Putin is a state sponsor of terror and a war criminal. He has a warrant out for his arrest. A large group of Alaskans is being organized to enforce the arrest warrant. Putin’s reign of terror is about to end.
Interesting…
Now say the same exact thing about Netanyahu
Netanyahu isn’t coming to Alaska.
Arrest Putin and turn him over to the ICC in accordance with international law. If he resists arrest, let the Anchorage police do what they’ve become very efficient doing………….
You might want to tidy your home and put out milk and cookies… cuz you are likely going to have some official visitors.
Please provide data to support your hypotheses.
This war would likely not have started if Nato had not expanded eastward, and if pro-Western administrations had treated Russian-speaking populations fairly.
This war would not have started if Russia had not invaded Ukraine. Pretty simple.
For Czar Putin, I don’t think that it was a small decision to go into Ukraine.
That’s it. Justify the invader and war criminal. I remember when Republicans hated the Russians. Now you are all in bed with them.
Okay, this is a hot-button topic. I’m finished here. 🙂
“…….Please provide data to support your hypotheses………”
‘https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_arrest_warrants_for_Russian_leaders
Arrest him in accordance with international law.
I’m sorry, but that’s not enough data to support those hypotheses.
Putin has been indicted. Now he needs to be tried. If convicted, the data is sufficient. If acquitted, it wasn’t. That’s how it works.
Absolutely correct. Russia was guaranteed NATO would not spread by 1″ to secure an agreement for the reunification of Germany.
Other than a massive cash laundromat for American and Euro politicans and our MIC, NATO has been obsolete since 1991.
“…….Russia was guaranteed NATO would not spread by 1″ to secure an agreement for the reunification of Germany……….”
Reference, please?
Yeah, I could believe that. I could believe that. I remember RT was reporting on it one time. That was a good news station, especially CrossTalk with host Peter Lavelle.
This coming third world war is inevitable, or I should say, war is interested in us. War is interested in us!!!
“…..This war would likely not have started if Nato had not expanded eastward, and if pro-Western administrations had treated Russian-speaking populations fairly………”
Sure. And WWII would likely not have started if the Allies hadn’t demanded reparations from Germany after WWI, and if pro-Western administrations had treated German-speaking populations fairly.n The Nazis were so misunderstood…………….
Reggie – check an author by the name of late William Guy Carr. Read his books with an open mind. They are outdated but still good reads. 👍
Thank you for the reference, James…………
Hahahaha! I can’t wait to see how that plays out for you.
You better be careful how you’re shooting your mouth off on here at the moment. Secret service may be knocking at your door.. any perceived threat.
ICC War Criminal Netanyahoo travelled to Washington, DC five times within the last 6 months and nobody arrested him. Good luck with that!
Washington DC has a long history of violating the law. It appears that Alaska is going to follow suit. I guess corruption is contagious.
I would love to join a protest of Trump and Putin. Anybody know who is organizing it/
Check your friendly Antifa Goth-clad, black lipsticked feminist. I”m sure they’re planning a party.
I sure would like to see your freaks protest on JBER, that would be fun to watch!
Imagine the anti trump protesters will be protesting trump instead of praying he can help end a bloody war. Priority s screwed up anyone. .?. O that’s right you have no priorities you just want to protest. The bloody crotch gang may be there to help if soros funding came through, or funding from the DNC.
Easily the most Historic event ever held in Alaska. The significance that Alaska was once a Russian Possession does not go unnoticed. Especially for Putin. Let us all Pray and Hope that The Alaskan Summit will bring peace in Ukraine.
Are we invited?
It will not be public. It will occur on a base
Wrong! Pope John Paul met Ronald Reagan in Fairbanks in May 1984. The radical Democrats called it, “Pope meets the Dope.”
But here’s the backstory:
While in Fairbanks waiting for the Pope to arrive, Reagan stayed at Frank and Nancy Murkowski’s home on Chena Pump Road. Ron and Nancy slept in Lisa’s king-sized bed. Ron carved his Initials, RR, on the bed post and Lisa ended up taking the bed with her, telling Frank that she was destined for royalty in DC. Thus, the appointment 18 years later.
Putin is the pope. Again, I doubt that this will be a public event.
Hopefully, Vlad will be carving his initials in a concrete cell awaiting extradition to The Hague.
Perhaps, or: Pope John Paul on the Park Strip.
Or? ….. Warren G Harding driving the Golden spike at the RR in Nenana.
Are there any strip clubs still open in Anchorage? Putin likes young women clad in thongs with lots of cleavage. Trump likes them too, and favors European women.
Putin and Trump can get a lot done together with a roomful of shapely young women catering to them. Hell, at the end of their meet-up Trump’s next vacation will be with Putin on a yacht on the Crimean Coast using Zelenskky as a cabin boy.
Trump and Putin are both welcome to stay at our old home on Chena Pump Road in Fairbanks. Lisa won’t be there to interfere and barge in on the meeting. I can get the outdoor pool cleaned up by Friday and have the hot tub up and going. A good view of the Chena River too. I’ll get House Husband to be available to mix drinks and procure some illegals to wait on Trump and Putin. Nancy and I love the illegals because they haven’t challenged us yet on below minimum wage.
Such nice people, especially when ICE isn’t nearby.
Will they try to hide the homeless like they have elsewhere?
Lol, the libs are going to lose their ever-loving minds.
I’m going to start popping corn now.
Actually, there’s only one pathetic commenter here at MRAK……..
woof….woof..
Who has been curiously absent from MRAK lately.
Did The Dog get hit by a car?
A steamroller would be preferred
Very interesting development. Trump has boxed himself in by continuing the war our permanent government started through (and utterly destroying what was once a fledging state since 1991) using Ukraine as a proxy. He promised to, and could have on day 1, simply ended all laundromat cash and arms transfers and recalled our military, using our ISR for targeting and launching missiles into Russia and literally commanding the UAF from Germany. Now the unfolding disaster, 100X worse than Afghanistan, is on Trumps’ legacy.
With NATO and the UAF being systematically defeated, with nothing left to send except printed dollars increasing the national debt, panic is setting in Washington and Brussels. Russia has laid out the terms of their goals, no NATO, de coupling Ukraine from being owned and operated by the US/Europe, de Nazifying their government, recognition of the will of 99.9% of the residents of the 4 regions and Crimea who voted (imagine that concept in Washington and Brussels, locals voting for their preference!), to rejoin the Russian Federation, de militarizing the UAF and creation of a peaceful state, and removal of all CIA, MI-6 agents, American/European military personnel and arms. And for Ukraine to hold elections, instead of dictatorial martial law, another novel concept to the government of the US/EU when dealing with countries they control.
The concept of a cease fire and frozen conflict is unacceptable to Russia and makes no sense. A comprehensive European peace agreement, removing NATO from Russia’s borders and strategic cooperation between the US and Russia are the best possible outcomes.
Trump could order our disentanglement from this disgusting neo con project with the stroke of a pen.
You completely lost me right after ‘Trump has boxed himself in’
Not surprising
Brad – I wouldn’t brag about that!
Horse s/// Brian
Cite factual evidence to support your contrarian, lazy assertion that my comment is horse s///.
This is astonishingly incoherent.
That’s what I think too Adrian. Brian has something to say but his sentence structure, parentheticals and asides dilutes it.
Pray a success. too much dying on both sides. Its easy to make snide comments. Often those sooth a bigger life disappointment, or a hidden desire to appear ‘Tricky’. However, were it your family , friends,
or countrymen being maimed or killed, would those comments then be on the tip of the tongue? I fear not.
Peace,
Al-Ketchikan
The White House travel planners will be relieved when they find out Alaska has 2 dozen McDonald’s!
I really hope they come to an agreement. Everything about our involvement in Ukraine since 2012 has been wrong, bad, despicable, and awful. It’s time to stop.
Hear. Hear.
DC, great comment!
Russia wants Alaska back. And Trump has been foolishly threatening them with our nuclear subs. Russia would easily take over the USA if a nuclear exchange would occur. America would be destroyed with their EMP weapons alone. 90% of Americans would die within a year.
And Russia is far ahead of us in nuclear capability. We can’t take out their weapons, which are also far more numerous than ours, and their anti-missile missiles actually work.
They even have an underground city. We’re sitting ducks.
Trump doesn’t have good advisors, and needs to stop threatening Putin. this isn’t a game.
China is also Russia’s ally, who wants the lower-48 to inhabit and farm.
They also have state end-of-the-art nuclear capability, and both countries can take out our aircraft carriers.
Dozens of Christians have had dreams of the United States being attacked by nuclear weapons, by Russia and/or China.
I had a dream of all of the cars being stopped on the Seward Highway south of Dimond. The drivers had gotten out and were walking towards the Dimond exit. This was likely because of an EMP, which will destroy electronic devices, like the computers that now control cars.
Jeff – Your bad dream was more likely a multi-vehicle wreck caused by a sleepy driver towing a 1971 travel trailer back from a 48-hour dipnetting marathon on the Kenai River!
Never heard of MAD? Very few will survive on either side, those that do will wish they hadn’t. Doesn’t matter who has more, the power of today’s nuclear weapons will destroy all of earth as we know it and if the blast and fire don’t kill you the radiation most likely will.
Two things haven’t been revealed. What the reason for the meeting and the agenda. Suppostion and second guessing is rather pointless, don’t you think? Trump has a reason. Let him do his job. He’s good at it.
Putin’s demands have been consistent:
No NATO expansion into Ukraine
Resumption of elections in Ukraine
Official recognition of the four Ukrainian Oblasts under Russian control as being now part of Russia, as well as Crimea
Cessation of arms supplies to Ukraine by NATO & the USA
Lifting of economic sanctions
De-Nazification of Kiev
No negotiating with Zelensky, who the Russians view as an illegitimate President
That Putin is even willing to meet with Trump indicates that Witkoff has at least, tacitly agreed to some of these demands.
There are no hidden agenda’s with Putin.
He has always been clear.
I don’t even think his demands are unreasonable.
“……. What the reason for the meeting……..”
To get Vlad off of Russian soil so he can be arrested.
What an epic meeting on Alaska soil it would be
Much more than the Pope and the Dope as the liberals called it in 1984?
If you can’t wish for peace in Ukraine
Move to Fairbanks , dye your hair and attack RFK
I sincerely hope this meeting leads to peace, and, a fair resolution for Ukraine as well. We are collectively too close to WW III as is! But, they might have to meet on Adak island, just to keep our own wackos and nut jobs at bay!
Adak would be a wonderful choice!
Maybe they can settle the matter of Wrangell Island (and associated islands). If Trump still looks to expand the American empire, here’s a great opportunity. The Soviet government should never have been allowed to evict the Alaskan settlers.
Go Trump!
Sorry, my mis-spelling of Trump was an honest typo.
Comrade Vladimir will undoubtedly bring some guys with him. Would be interesting to have a look at that detail. They are probably not very “woke”.
Uh,…..let’s just say they take no LGBTQ hostages.
Breaking: Trump to give up Crimea to placate a dictator and war criminal.
Are you talking about the same Crimea that Peter the Great developed? The Crimea that held a vote to stay a part or Russia?
Yup. That’s the one. It’s the same one recognized by both Russia and the United Nations in writing as Ukrainian soil in the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, adopted by the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR.
Obama gave Crimea to the Russians in 2014.
One cannot give territory already conquered. Dontsk region as well. Maybe Ukraine shouldn’t have been shelling the people of regions prior to the conflict with Russia, just saying. Most of the people In those 2 regions are ethnic Russians.
Is that the same Crimea that Russia already has thanks to Russian colluding Obama?
Good luck with that warrant and serving it on JBER.
Thanks!
Where will the hippies line up, at the Boniface Gate?
Shouldn’t hippies be protesting in favor of peace rather than against peace?
They just want to be w/ their tribe, any reason will do.
They are not in charge ….. that’s reason enough.
2 of the most ‘evil’ dudes on earth will bring em out, but what will the signs say?
“……. but what will the signs say?……..”
“Pray for whirled peas”
It begets the question: Will Mayor LaFrance clean the homeless off Anch streets for Putin’s visit like Newsom did for Xi?
Putin generally cannot travel outside Russia because he has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the theft of Ukrainian children. And yet Trump is welcoming him to the United States of America. From one pariah state to another.
Does that also apply to your buddy, Bibi Netanyahoo?
Bibi isn’t coming to Alaska, is he?
He’s not my buddy FfF. As far as I’m concerned he’s a war criminal for bouncing the rubble in Gaza and starving the kids. He’s way past the point of proportional response for 7 October and is only continuing this genocidal action to keep himself out of prison. He, too, has an arrest warrant out for him by the ICC.
“…….He’s way past the point of proportional response for 7 October……..”
So Israel was only allowed to kill 1,195 random Palestinian souls and take 251 hostages?
Gaza’s Health Ministry has stated that over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war. I’d say that Bibi has gotten his pound of flesh.
I don’t think Bibi is interested in flesh by the pound. I think he wants flesh by the ideology. I don’t think that killing all Hamas fighters is possible, but I do support Israel destroying all tunnels and Hamas fighting infrastructure, and I don’t care how many Hamas fighters die to achieve that goal.
When the extremists on the left and the extremists on the right agree you know that good things are happening.
So, we arrest Putin and “turn him in.” What will this do apart from create more political instability?
Allow a trial, which is “due process”. For those unfamiliar with this concept and prefer drama, thuggery, and organized crime, this is how law works. Putin has been indicted by the international court. He needs to be tried. If Trump “negotiates” with Putin, he is negotiating with a fugitive of the law.
Joe Biden can’t travel anywhere because he has trouble making it to his own bathroom without a roadmap. And Bill Clinton quit traveling all together because he was exhausted from his huge mileage build-up to Pedophile Island.
…..but these two skalliwags happen to be Whidbey’s heros. More Democrat scum.
How many “Putin has 2 weeks” has Trump given him since February? 3? 4? I lost count in May. Putin will not get what he wants because Zelensky will not cede anything. He’s not even attending.
But maybe while he is here, Trump can find a solution to all the homeless this great red state has to offer.
Does that also apply to your buddy, Bibi Netanyahoo?
Zelensky was not invited to the meeting – by either side. He is irrelevant!
“……..How many “Putin has 2 weeks” has Trump given him since February? 3? 4? I lost count in May………”
That’s why Trump is getting the moron to deliver himself to a US airbase to be arrested and handed over to The Hague.
Shhhhh …. Quiet.
Vlad’s boys might be reading this & your ruining the whole plan!
The FSB is likely thrilled with it. They haven’t been able to catch Vlad anywhere near a 4th story window for the past three years.
Reggie if he were actually arrested here we all had better be ready to head for a deep bunker. The nukes will be flying. You can count on that. He has 10.000 nuclear war heads that we know of. We could shoot down some of them but a few would get through guaranteed. Are you ready for that.??
All the keyboard warriors have proven their limitations by copy/pasting “facts” selected from reading their carefully curated versions of the garbage they see on the internet.
The harsh reality is that, like it or not, Russia has seized a significant part of Eastern Ukraine. Ukraine, in spite of their remarkable defense in the early months of the invasion, has since been unable to push them out, nor will they be.
The dimocrats and their crony states in Europe were content to watch the slaughter and feed just enough money and materials to Ukraine to keep them barely viable. But realistically, unless something dramatic happens this war will ultimately destroy Ukraine while devastating Russia’s economy.
Trump is trying to end three years of this senseless slaughter in Eastern Ukraine. Somehow, again and again, in just 6 months he has figured a way to get warring states together and convince them to work out their differences.
You don’t have to like or agree with Zelenskyy or Putin – I sure don’t – to want to see Trump devise a lasting solution.
Mymymy, Murkowski will polish off her crown, Palin will put on her mukluks.. get out your dill, Daddy Putin is coming home! Mymymy
Trump is Putin‘s most valuable asset, so I’m sure he’ll want a full debriefing.
As Trump always says, “He doesn’t have the cards”. In this case it’s Trump without a hand. He has absolutely no leverage in any negotiation with Putin, who will talk forever and play cat-and-mouse with Trump, but never actually acquiesce. In the end, he’ll get what he wants, and Trump will be standing on the curb watching his Nobel drive away. It would be hilarious, were it not so pathetic.
Yup. The only way Trump wins this is to arrest Vlad as soon as he steps onto U.S. soil, then extradite him to The Hague for the Europeans to juggle the hot potato.
Actually, there’s only one pathetic commenter here at MRAK……..
woof….woof..
I never bite first, but I might bite back. Grrr…
I’d believe you to be a backbiter or someone who bites backsides
Ah, the highly credible Russia collusion. Hillary sold Russia weapons grade uranium and husband Bill gave several speeches there earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hmmm…
Well this one ought to set the no kings crowd off
There is fantastic fishing out in the Bristol Bay drainage during August. Maybe a lodge out of Dillingham could put those politicians up. Fly in fishing, what could possibly go wrong?
Enjoy Alaska, Vlad. Be a good boy and your next vacation may be at Mar a lago, all expenses paid.
Everybody saw Crimea go to Russia under Obama.
Everybody saw the Biden family lining their wallets in Ukraine.
And everybody saw Joe Biden throw an entire Nation to the wolves, only to destroy the evidence of his corruption.
Further, everybody saw the Biden administration continuously pumping arms and money to Ukraine, presumably to further protect himself from prosecution. What other reason?
I can say this is pure evil.
So far as Trump goes, I am certain he is going to do the best he can to get us out of this mess.
Zelenskyy is a mad-man. And probably quite rich by now.
He cannot be dealt with.
He rejected a far better deal than he can possibly get now a couple years back, and he is already openly opposed to anything coming out of this meeting.
I believe the people of Ukraine would get rid of him if they could.
If I had to call a winner, clearly Putin is it.
And Zelenskyy is a friend to nobody.
The E.U. and the U.N. would love a war just to distract the people from themselves, so they will be no asset in negotiations, whatever.
Our best outcome would leave us to pack our bags and say good-riddance to the entire mess.
Otherwise, we run the risk of further entanglement.
We have nothing to gain and have already lost plenty.
“…….If I had to call a winner, clearly Putin is it………”
LOL! Since Putin’s troops ran out of gas on their long expeditionary march to Kiev (a whole 600 miles from Moscow), Finland and Sweden have joined NATO, and Finland (900+ mile border with Russia, and within artillery range of St. Petersburg) has been prepping for war like it was 1939 all over again. Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is almost completely destroyed by a Ukraine who doesn’t even have a navy. Half of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet has been destroyed on the ground.
You call that a “win”?
LOL! The Russians looked worse than the Italians did in WWII.
This war dies with Vlad. Period. Not one minute before. Then prepare for that moron Dmitry Medvedev, but this time without Vlad’s hand up his rear moving him like a cheap puppet.
Ha,ha! I call that a gullible fool who believes any propaganda the mainstream media feeds it!
You are exactly right Mark.
The people of Ukraine will not be represented at this meeting.
And if they were, it would not be their choice for Zelenskyy to do it.
They have not had a voice for years. No elections. No press. No freedom of speech without the constant threat of reprisal.
Putin and Trump have one thing in common:
Not a bit of respect for Zippy.
Here’s how Trump wins the Nobel Peace prize:
When Putin lands here, Trump will have him arrested along with any of his security detail. Trump then hands Putin off to the ICC for trial, and hopefully, his execution.
With Putin out of the way, a new leader- backed by the CIA and MI6- takes over in Russia. The new leader recognizes that the Ukraine war was an act of pure evil, and withdraws military forces from Ukraine. Then, Russia works to provide reparations to the people of Ukraine.
There are many, many, many people in the USAF, Army, Secret Service, and FBI that fully support this decapitation operation. They know that Putin is pure evil, a mass murderer, and that his capture is vital to world peace.
The next peace prize will be announced October, 2025. Let’s hope Trump is seen in Oslo Norway to accept the Nobel prize for peace.
I love it, Peace Prize. Looks like a win/win/win/win for everybody.
If Trump does that, I’ll personally give the Nobel to him. And then I’ll eat my hat.
If they arrest Putin nukes will be flying our way at 14.000 miles per hour so best get your hard hat and iodine out. Putin isn’t stupid. He is evil and smart .
This is why we have men in high places in the Russian government ready to take over- this is a decapitation operation.
All the millions we’ve paid to key members of the Russian military- and others- for their cooperation, is an investment.
The CIA has a massive black budget for a reason…
And if I was running the op, I’d make Putin’s death look like a heart attack. We have some amazing viruses ready to infect him with. This has long been our policy. A bullet hole in the head is always a bit too obvious.
N – Maybe Trump can convince Putin to take a Covid-19 booster shot. That should solve your issues with Putin. Of course, the rest of the sane world would have to deal with the nuclear fallout! LMAO!
Doug, smart? A smart guy would not have done to Russians what Putin has. Almost one million dead or injured. Two new NATO members. Russia economy bollixed up due to sanctions, the Black sea fleet sunk, even though Ukraine doesn’t eve have a navy…
Yeah, Putin’s realllllly smart.
I share your skepticism, so would cheerfully eat half of your hat with you if it happens.
I say there will be massive hippies at the Base entrance
Daughter says DJT is such a ‘show boat’ that the meeting will be off base (perhaps the Casino in Eklutna)
Son says Putin is the most paranoid person on Earth & it will be canceled.
We’ll see.
I hope peace gets made in Alaska.
From the comments here by the expected extremists we can tell that those on the left and those who claim to be on the right (while espousing extremists leftist views) agree you know that good things are happening. These extremists do not want peace, they do not want humanity to prevail. They crave disorder and war. Having discussions that might lead to some form of peace does not further their cause.
How often is it that the ordinary people whose kids have to go fight are the ones clamoring for war? That’s right – NEVER. It’s mainly the pols that hanker for it, yearning to flex exercise their “power”.
BTW, is Barron planning to enlist anytime soon?
And yet here you are in opposition to attempting to find a peaceful resolution. With your high paid job as an oil executive, do you consider yourself an ordinary person “whose kids have to go fight”, or are you ok with resisting politicians who seek to end war since your kids would never serve on the frontlines?
So whidby is an oil company executive.??
Yeah, Steve, Chamberlin’s overture to Hitler was a “peaceful resolution”, too.
We had “peace for our time” for about five minutes.
We know that we can’t fix a psychopath. There is no cure. They stop hurting others when you jail them, or they die.
CORRECTION
How often is it that the ordinary people whose kids have to go fight are the ones clamoring for war? That’s right – NEVER. It’s mainly the pols that hanker for it, yearning to flex and exercise their “power”.
BTW, is Barron planning to enlist anytime soon?
Oh, I bet the Dog served. In the Peace Corps in Switzerland. Ever load a peashooter?
Nope, never did. Registered for the draft as required but never got called as Nam was just getting over. Would have gone if called up, however.
“……Having discussions that might lead to some form of peace does not further their cause………”
Steve, what happened with the Budapest Memorandum? This was the treaty in which Ukraine agreed to surrender its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the US, and the UK. As part of the agreement, Russia promised to refrain from the use of military force or economic coercion against Ukraine and respect its borders and territorial integrity. Indeed, what about the Oslo Accords, Doha Agreement, Paris Peace Accords, Istanbul and Jeddah negotiations, Korean Armistice, Treaty of Versailles, and so many other “discussions”? Did they lead to peace? At what point do you recognize and admit that you’re not “discussing” with sincere people? After Pearl Harbor gets wasted? After the World Trade Center is dropped? Do you finally put a career criminal behind bars after he commits mass murder a second or third time?
Here in Anchorage, when police instruct a criminal to put down his/her weapon, and they refuse, police can shoot the criminal……..and liberals hate that fact. They’re trying desperately to find a way to make police stop lethal force. Are you good with that campaign?
Sadly peace talks excluding one side of the equation that involve ceding land to an aggressor are doomed to fail.
Sure would be nice if trump could remember key elements in history and not follow France footsteps of giving land to a despot
Notice Lisa being Lisa as always, pathetic inept Senator!
Phew! We dodged a bullet, turns out President Trump is meeting with Putin in Russia. He confirmed this twice during his press conference this morning where he was talking about sending troops and feds to DC to clean up that swamp. Maybe the protesters can find a better way to spend their Friday now.
I have no confidence in Trump negotiating skills, just look at his Tariffs, they all sound good coming out of his mouth, until when the rubber meets the road it’s a big failure.
BTW, Trump thought he was coming to Russia.
