Supporters of President Donald Trump and those hoping Ukraine-Russia peace will be negotiated between the president and President Vladimir Putin showed up at 11 am at the corner of Seward Highway and Northern Lights Blvd. in Anchorage, at the same time that the peace talks were set to begin on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
About 180 people joined the rally with flags and banners promoting America, Trump, and peace.
In other parts of town, Democrat protests have been waged against peace in Ukraine by those who believe peace can be achieved only through prolonged war and more American spending on the war machine. Signs of protest against Trump’s efforts to bring peace could be seen around the city all week.
At the pro-America rally on Friday, a half dozen marked and unmarked police vehicles were stationed nearby in the Midtown Mall Parking lot. Across the street, a disheveled vagrant encampment littered the corner, a normal scene at the intersection in this era of Anchorage’s vagrant crisis.
A candidate for governor had earlier pulled up a motor home to assist. Bernadette Wilson, a Republican who declared for governor in May, was serving free water, coffee, and donuts, wearing a sweatshirt with an American flag on it.
Meanwhile, at JBER, the meetings had begun, as seen in this video:
Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who had a meeting scheduled with Trump while he is in Alaska, commented, “It’s no accident that President Trump picked Alaska for this meeting; Alaska exudes U.S. strength and energy independence.”
In the middle of the protest area, an infiltrator had come earlier and, in chalk, written “86 47” which is a code for those who wish to do harm to the president. The rally participants didn’t even notice it for a long time, but when they did, they doused the offensive phrase with water.
Finally, it was doused with water.
Suzanne your the only one who gave information & dialed us all in ma’am we need to have a pizza party for your team I love being a part of maga so so much we all are TEAM TRUMP MAGA
I get where people always reject Putin and say “I stand w/Ukraine”. Good vs bad. That’s fine. But if there is no negotiated peace, as Pres Trump is trying to work out, what is the alternative? More sanctions, but Russia seems to weather those fairly well. No the alternative is a wider war with the goal of bringing Russia to capitulation. Or Russia trying to bring Ukraine to capitulation. Most likely that’s the EU and/or the US putting troops on the ground and trying to take air superiority. And maybe driving into Russia. Or freeing Ukrainian troops to do so by holding the boarder. Ukraine is going to need help. I hope all these Stand w/Ukraine-No Putin-No Kings people are prepared for that. Americans would be killed.
Anyway, why not try for a deal, if there is one to be had. There is always time for war that your kids will have to fight.
The war is now three and a half years old. An estimated 450K Russian soldiers have been killed. Not a single American soldier has been killed. Not one.
The Russians have lost more soldiers than in all their wars and military actions combined since WWII. That includes anti-communist insurgencies in Eastern Europe from 1945-1990, the first Indochina War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the East German Uprising, the Hungarian Revolution, the Invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Sino-Soviet border conflict, the War of Attrition, the Angolan Civil War, the Ethic-Somali War, the Soviet-Afghan War, the Georgian Civil War, the South Ossetian War, the War in Abkhazia, the Transnistria War, the Tajikistani War, two Chechen wars, the war in Dagestan, the Russo-Georgian War, the Russian Intervention in the Syrian Civil War, the Central African Civil War, the Mali War, and the Jihadi insurgency in Burkina Faso.
The best thing we can and should do is sell weapons to Ukraine, and provide humanitarian aid, even if it’s just by Lend-Lease. No American soldiers.
Reggie – 450,000 Russians killed? Where do you pull your facts from? LMAO!
FfF, Reggie got his numbers mixed up alright. According to several sources the Ukrainian war casualties are about 400,000, while Russian war dead are estimated to be almost 1 MILLION. The Ukrainians apparently make excellent use of technology like drones, but in a war of attrition, they will never win.
Your pro-war approach is sickening. It’s bad enough that you are okay with Putin running his own people through the meatgrinder but fail to even mention the Ukrainian deaths. The estimates are that in total two million people have died on both sides counting military and civilian. Since no American soldiers have been killed, you’re good with keeping that up indefinitely as long as we can sale weapons.
“The best thing we can and should do is sell weapons to Ukraine, and provide humanitarian aid, even if it’s just by Lend-Lease”
Isn’t that what we have been doing? It appears not to go anywhere but more death. Since the population of Russia is 146 million and Ukraine’s 37 million, seems to me to be a losing strategy.
Why drag this war on and on when you can at least try to settled this?
Remember when leftists used to chant “Give peace a chance”?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Which only highlights both the hypocrisy of today’s so-called leftists, and the fact that they are not in fact leftists — they are pure totalitarian fascists.
Nailed it Jefferson.
The hippies are so crazed because they lost power that they now support war.
Trump supporters are civil, peaceful, and honorable…..compared to the drugged-out screamers with TDS. Such a despicable bunch of America haters …..and dishonest traitors.
Joe Biden is their hero.
What’s it like to live full time in a fantasy world? Seems nice, I hope your nurses are nice.
Nurses?
Your 82 years old Bill, not the Princeton Tiger you used to be.
Time for another nap Senator.
Bill,
You will find that the world is a reflection of how you view it. If you are miserable on the inside of your mind, then the world will seem miserable all around you. If you see devils in all the shadows and around every corner, each step you take through life will be burdened with fear.
If you truly wish to live in a free country, then it is absolutely your personal responsibility (and DUTY) to free your mind.
Only then, will you be an American. Otherwise, you are simply a slave to the narrative.
Actually, Mr. Bradley, I AM a nurse. Will you be visiting our dementia unit any time soon?
Good one!
seen a lot of blue-haired and decrepit boomers waving Ukraine flags downtown… what exactly is their plan? Keep feeding them our tax dollars as thousands more die? PLEASE KEEP STEALING FROM US AND LAUNDERING MONEY – just like DC police now suing Trump for stopping violent crime in their city – PLEASE LET US MURDER YOU
Their Plan is ” Keep our kickbacks flowing through the Class Ukraine money laundry. W need more money!! nOW!! Doesn’t matter how many die for Ourr Holy Paycheck, gotta break some eggs to make that omelet you’ll never taste”
Traitors, each and every one of them.
Looks like the leaders and funders of “mostly peaceful protests” decided the optic wouldn’t look good to smash, burn, and loot during peace talks. With all the recent Doge cuts perhaps money is running a little thin these days.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT SEEING PROUD AMERICANS THAT LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PRESIDENT 🇺🇸
We need to expand mental health help in our state. It seems a lot of people with issues have moved here.
Yes, many people come up here to stay homeless for a few years to “gain” their residency status for the PFD for more drugs. I thought we were “thining” out the homeless a few years ago, but more keep showing up somehow from somewhere.
There called West Coast Democrats & have infested ANC.
Bossy liberals that cater to chaos.
Correct Manda …. they need help, but like many crazy peeps they will not accept any.
Great rally. I counted 176 people. Great time and thanks to our party chair for organizing! The music was great.
Meanwhile, there were well over 500 downtown at 2.00pm on a workday to support Ukraine. Also, please note, no paid protestors and no violence.
Because Republicans have JOBS.
The anti-Trump protest looked like a bunch of retired (& current) teachers.
Trump rally has less people, because someone has to drive trucks & maintain buildings.
Would love to know the % of “antis” on the Park Strip that live well on Gov retirement.
Follow the money Marco …. the “antis” are thinking of their income & don’t care how many young men die in that war, as long as they get their gravy.
The fake outrage over 8647 is hysterical. The reality is one side, MAGA is willing to concede Ukrainian Territory to end the war, it won’t as Putin may stop for awhile but will eventually decide he wants more. I’m not sure how peace talks happen with only the aggressor present. The war will end when Putin pulls out of Ukrainian land!
So … never, then? The only way Russia would pull out is if the United States went to war against them. I don’t want to go to war with Russia. So let’s be realistic. Stopping the killing is the most important objective.
How is it conceding land, when the land has been taken in battle? Also the regions discussed are populated by 80% Russian descent. There is more to it than what is occurring than you comprehend.
Did you skip history class at West High?
That is how wars end ….. lines are redrawn.
Oh, to be so blissfully & proudly ignorant, Alaskans for freedom!
Ohhh…. good analysis.
Now do Israel and Gaza.
I suppose your idea of negotiating is to walk up and slug the guy you want a deal from?
Good news conservatives are showing up in force. The left hasn’t seen anything yet.
Who paid all of THESE protesters? Isn’t that the question you all ask?
Nobody.
That’s why there’s less of them.
Red necks have jobs …. I mean actual jobs, the ones you have to go to everyday.
It was easily 5 to 1 for people against Trump.
Of course, That is the reason he won the election easily.
Well his supporters certainly have no reading comprehension, thanks for the demo Andy.
Dollar Bill! What are you doing up here?
PS: Trump took ANC w/ 64% of the vote.
And won the State w/ 54%.
As Andy said DJT won easily here (your not in NJ anymore Bill)
A raging success! Trump owner Putin and the killing in Ukraine stopped for minutes, with the bombing of an apartment complex killing more civilians before the wheels were up on Putin’s jet. So glad a couple of dozen real republicans showed up to show their patriotic support for Dealmaker in Chief.
Yeah, but this is certain: Anchorage was in no danger whatsoever of being nuked by the Russians for the few hours that Vlad was visiting, and for the first time since 1950. That has to be worth something, no?
How does Putin own Trump? That’s absurd. Trump holds all the cards. Trump is playing with house money. He’s literally bulletproof.
Well, Little Marco what is your end goal or objective?
How would YOU achieve peace?
(please note that even with outside support Ukraine is not able to defeat Russia, which is what it will take to end this by force)
How many dead young men & civilians will be enough Marco?
Dead, wounded & families ruined for how long?
Peace is usually reached when the weaker country concedes something.
Finally a pro-Trump rally to counter all these silly Pearl-clutching delusional TDS blue-haired AWFLs imaging a Hitler under every rock.
“…. a Hitler under every rock” lol
And an oligarch at the head of every company.
Very, very proud of all the Alaskans who showed up to hold the massive Ukrainian flag. 60 volunteers were needed, but over 300 Alaskans showed up.
Other than showing solidarity with a free nation, that elects its officials, the goal was for the gangster/communist Putin to see the flag outside his airplane window on landing.
I don’t understand some of the MAGA crowd- who claim to be conservatives, who side with a communist, who murders his opponents, doesn’t allow free speech or religion, and murders children.
WTF is wrong with some of you people?
I don’t want you in the Republican party if you’re going to act like morons.
Nobody is siding w/ Putin.
Give Peace a Chance …. remember that?
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall Alaska has always been about reaching out to Russia
WWRD, you are incorrect in your assumption that conservatives “side” with Putin. He is a reprehensible human being, yet he is also the current leader of Russia. This then has practical implications. If we all want the bloodshed to end and Ukraine to remain a sovereign nation, we have basically two options:
A) Defeat Russia so badly that it has to sue for peace/surrender.
Even with outside help Ukraine will never achieve that and we certainly do not want to get roped into WWIII, so that option is off the table.
B) Negotiate with the principal in this case Russia for a peace deal ( the economic sanctions assist in that endeavor and I believe are the reason Putin is now at the negotiation table).
As for acting like morons, people who want both leaders planes to crash, or find it embarrassing that both individual leaders are here in the state, or can’t actually articulate why they are out here protesting and demanding that this meeting should not happen, clearly do not care about the thousands that have already died and will continue to die until we can all end this awful war. (I recommend you watch KTUU news blurb)
Ukraine, one of the most corrupt nations on the face of the Earth and Russia, a nation with declared intent to reconstruct the USSR are fighting.
And, as a conservative, I should care, exactly why? In fact, the more time and resources they expend fighting each other means less time and resources available to work against the interests of the US and free nations worldwide.
.
Just because everyone who supports the ideals of MAGA was not in attendance at your little we love the Ukraine rally does not mean we support Putin and his intents with Russia. Actually, declaring that we are either “with you, or against you.” is what children… errr… I mean leftists do.
Reggie – 450,000 Russians killed? Where do you pull your facts from? LMAO!
Russian businesses are doing great! The funeral homes are very, very busy. So too, are the businesses selling prosthetic limbs! Woo Hoo. 950,000 dead, or injured Russians! CSIS, and MOD and even Russian labor figures tell the story.
Of course Commie Pootin doesn’t want the public to know how badly he’s screwed the Russian people, so he keeps little trolls like you busy feeding utter BS about how bad things really are.
Russian troops are getting exactly what they deserve.
The USA needs to stand with Ukraine. Remember Putin is a Communist Dictator, oh yeah the elected President. There’s a lot of Chamberlain ‘s on here.
Robert what exactly does that mean “standing with Ukraine”? Please be specific.
Pursuing a peace deal IS standing with Ukraine. It will preserve it as a sovereign nation or would you rather wait until Russia has killed enough Ukrainians that there is nobody left to defend it?
Neville Chamberlain bought the Brits a year to plan and it is not an apt comparison as Germany and Britain were not at war with each other in 1938. (Germany and Russia were involved in the Spanish Civil war, Britain simply had an embargo)
It should further be pointed out that many US presidents hosted/negotiated with the Russians.
There was Roosevelt who called one of the greatest mass murderers “Uncle Joe” (Stalin), while they moved the borders of Poland around.
Eisenhower hosted Krushev.
Remember Jimmy Carter and the SALT agreements?
Reagan and Gorbachev met in Reykjavik, to talk nuclear missiles……
Exactly right Robert. Many of these commenters are Russian- paid trolls. Their job is to spread Commie Pootin’s lies.
Wait…
Russia will pay me to troll leftists on MRAK?
How do I get in on this action? I’ve been doing it for free solely for the entertainment. But, making a few coin while I have fun seems like a good idea. Can you share a link?
Can’t make a coherent argument, WWRD?
It appears you are reaching for the convenient easy fix here, call everyone trolls and voila you washed your hands of having to actually DEBATE and bring any facts. You know Reagan never shied away from a good debate.
Oh and out of idle curiosity: What lies? Can you elaborate please.
Lol. I troll the left for free and for my own gratification. I have no affiliation with Russia or anyone else. If I was paid for it, that would only be a cherry on top of the cream puff pastry!
In reality though, I see those on the right as being happy and successful and strong. The losers on the left sad, ugly and miserable. I choose those who vibe higher to support in the world going forward. No it isn’t some conspiracy, it isn’t a political agenda, it is simply me making a choice of which world I wish to see and that world is one free from loser do-nothing social parasites who call themselves Democrats.
Hey look! Just 6 days after the peace talks, Putin & Russia started a new wave of attacks on Ukraine.
How long does Trump need to realize that Putin is just playing him?
