With the fate of Ukraine being discussed by men as manipulative as Vladimir Putin and as mercurial as Donald Trump, there’s every danger things could take an unexpected turn when the two actually meet in Alaska.

Until Trump sells them out, again.

If Trump sells us out there is no deal. Ukraine will keep fighting and Europe will keep supporting the fight.

What I can’t understand is how the Americans tolerate Trump waging war against his own people while continuously making concessions to adversaries.

Don’t you think Putin already made his deal with Trump? Long ago. Do what you want with Palestine. Give me Ukraine. Give me Ukraine and I won’t release the tapes.

My prediction: Trump will claim agreement on some sort of minerals deal, won't give any real security guarantee, will agree to reduce/remove sanctions, will accept Russia keep occupied territory and will state a deadline for ceasefire. Putin will make no concessions but will issue further demands.

The fact that trump🤡 is allowing him on US soil is despicable enough. But to discuss Ukraine’s fate without Ukraine is the last straw.

No rude awakening. This is all predictable and was from the start. This meeting would have taken place already ages ago, but there was pushback. So Trump & Putin, to make it seem legit, had Trump threaten Putin a bit, release a tweet here or there. & now they can proceed keeping up appearances…
