TRUMP RUSSIA -UKRAINE SUMMIT
I wrote a few years ago that after Trump won in 2016 , Putin would be visiting the United States for a Summit. It never happened because of the Deep State sabotaging anything to do with Russia. Here we are almost 10 years later , Putin just visited Alaska meeting with Trump to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. > “anticlimax in Anchorage”
Peace or Something Else?
A weird assumption that there were actually people with actual expectations. I don't think anyone expected anything out of this. But shortly after meeting Putin, Trump reversed himself and said a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war wasn't critical. He wrote on social media that "it was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up." Here is what was talked. Yes, Trump and Putin discussed Israel and Iran during their interactions, including at a summit in Alaska on August 15, 2025, and in several phone calls. Their conversations focused on the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, particularly following Israel's airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities starting June 13, 2025, and Iran's retaliatory strikes. Putin expressed concern about the risk of escalation and offered Russian mediation to broker a peace deal, emphasizing a solution that would allow Iran to pursue a peaceful nuclear program while addressing Israel's security concerns. Trump initially indicated openness to Putin’s mediation offer but later rejected it, stating on June 18, 2025, that Putin should focus on resolving Russia’s war in Ukraine first, saying, “I told Vladimir, let’s mediate Russia first. You can worry about this later.” Their discussions also touched on broader Middle East stability, with both leaders agreeing that Iran should not be in a position to threaten Israel. However, Trump prioritized pressuring Putin to end the Ukraine conflict over involving him in Israel-Iran negotiations. [] I think it's safe to assume that the 3 hour meeting was more so about other things. Putin won’t go for any peace deal until land is conceded to Russia. That sets a precedent that after a few years of fighting, Russia can have some land. Then after a few years of rebuilding Russia re-invades Ukraine, and the process continues until all of Ukraine is absorbed into Russia. President Donald Trump’s team, which has been scrambling amidst
Alaska’s tourist season to find a venue for his meeting with Russian
President Vladimir Putin, has succeeded. The two leaders will meet at
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, just north of Anchorage. The Americans
apparently tried to persuade the Russians to allow Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy to participate in some fashion, but Putin’s “nyet”
proved unyielding. Zelenskyy worries that Trump and Putin will do a deal over his
head and present Ukraine with a fait accompli. He’s not wrong to be
concerned, given Trump’s well-documented affinity for Putin. Trump has
insisted that Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine had he been in the
White House in 2022. In January, Putin echoed this claim, blaming the
war on the 2020 election, which he, like Trump, falsely asserted was
“stolen.” It doesn’t take a genius in international affairs to understand that “the most significant” item he was referring to was the one issue that prompted him to organize a summit with Putin in the first place: the war in Ukraine. None of this should be shocking to anybody who has been monitoring the 3 1/2-year conflict. Trump may have an inherently oversized opinion of his capacity to will peace deals into existence,
Zelenskyy doesn't want Peace.
Trump also promised, on dozens of occasions in 2023 and 2024,
to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours if re-elected. But as Putin’s invasion of Ukraine began, Trump called it
“genius.” Once back in office, in February he and Vice President JD
Vance publicly humiliated Zelenskyy during a now-infamous White House
meeting. In April, Trump even blamed Zelenskyy for provoking Russia’s
invasion and also chided him for not accepting Russia’s annexation of
Crimea, a move that Trump claimed would have cleared the way for a
political brokered by him. >Doubling down on rage for breakfast, Trump added, “If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal. Rather than face even the slimmest sliver of a shadow of his own inadequacy, he has conjured up an imaginary world where he can fantasize about out-negotiating Putin into giving up his capital and how unfair it is that he's not getting praised for it. And so, he's trying to scold the public for not living with him in his imaginary world. Conversations between the U.S. and European allies about postwar defense commitments for Ukraine have only uncovered the complexity and uncertainty around future defense commitments. And the Kremlin has publicly thrown cold water on Trump’s claim that Moscow is increasingly open to new security guarantees, while ramping up missile attacks on Ukraine. Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the transatlantic talks as “a road to nowhere”. That was the meaning behind Trump’s cryptic social media post on Thursday asserting, “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country … There is no chance of winning!” According to a senior administration official, Trump wasn’t sending a warning to Putin that he’d consider heavily arming Ukraine if peace talks fail but explaining away Ukraine’s lack of leverage in negotiations as his predecessor’s fault. Former President Joe Biden, whose administration was reluctant to send certain weapons to Ukraine and at times restricted their use, “would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND,” Trump wrote in his post. “How did that work out?”Trump, the senior official continued, believes Ukraine is going to have to accept a deal largely on Russia’s terms to end the war. IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY ABOUT THE WORLD POLITICIANS AND WARMAKERS BEING PICTURED LIKE FOOLISH LITTLE BOYS FIGHTING OVER THEIR TOYS! That was so funny when little TRUMP grabbed that rocket back from PUTIN and ZELENSKYY and said, "You guys can give up your rockets if you want to, but I'm not giving up any of mine--not one!" And he ran back and stuck it back in its hole! Isn't that typical? Anyway, they should just release the Epstein files.
