NEW: Vladimir Putin is coming to America Trump, frustrated with Putin but drawn to spectacle, believes his dealmaking can end the war. But Ukraine worries he may hand Moscow a win Inside the backchannel talks and Moscow trip that led to Alaska invite: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
This is the same way he solved the whole North Korea problem
Ukraine doesn't need to abide by whatever BS deal Trump makes. Trump will use said deal as an excuse not to give aid to Ukraine.
They don't. But they may have to accept it, because they rely a lot more on America than Europe.
The EU has given more aid overall than the US, but obviously having both would be ideal. www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-a...
The aid from the EU has been mostly non military. The aid we have been provided has been mostly military, because we have the military industrial base. Plus we have been helping Ukraine on the intelligence front. If we walk away, it will be much tougher for Ukraine to prosecute the war.
Ukraine, with Europe’s support, has some agency and can tell Trump to fuck off.
Arrest Putin. War over!
Right? War over and justice served.
2nd amendment putin
Too easy. I prefer Alligator Alcatraz.
Disgraceful moment in our history to allow this depraved brute on our soil
Trump is a Putin puppet. Congress needs to void any deal with Putin.

This is an incredible read and explains it all! It was always Putrid and his Kompromat Russia Russia Russia.... Why won't the world listen??
Putin is vastly more intelligent than Trump
Not saying much… most every leader on the world stage is.
But equally barbaric.
Of course he’s going to hand him a win. Trump couldn’t care less about Ukraine. Putin has him under the thumb and trump wants the Epstein files to go away.
His responsibility for America to abide by international law and arrest Putin.
Krasnov will make a deal with Putin to cede half of Ukraine and brag about how its a great deal.
The only thing frustrating drumpf is EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN! This is just another distraction
Alaska you know what you need to do.
Important read.
thank you very much for the gift article
And then there’s this… Will an international arrest ensue on American soil?
Just dangle some shiny publicity in front of Trump and he is putty in your hands. What a silly man.

Ukraine should be worried, Trump has no game - his dealmaking prowess is all in his head.
Trump is getting played by Putin
Putin should be arrested for war crimes as soon as his plane lands. The other criminal, the 34X convicted felon, should already be in prison. Also, release the Epstein files.
He’s a criminal who should be arrested.
This gives too much legitimacy to Trump and his supposed negotiating skill. They are both disgusting criminals.
His dealmaking?! His dealmaking is famously awful. Just because he says he is the dealmaster doss read by mean you have to ignore reality and pretend like he has some history of making good deals. He’s a conman. You don’t have to volunteer to be the mark.
He is frustrated with Putin not because P is not willing to stop killing innocent civilians (he doesn't at all mind Netanyahu doing the same in Gaza), but because he needs it in his score card for the aspirational Nobel Peace Prize.

The meeting between Trump and Putin will go really badly for Trump. He will squander his last shred of credibility and return without any results. He will sell this as a victory as desperate as he is. By the way: is the nuclear submarine still bobbing around between Russia and the USA? 😈
#odemknuto
Ooh, a snipers dream! #takethembothout
Why isn't Putin being arrested when he lands? Then again, why isn't Trump arrested every single day for his crimes?
Because we don't recognize the ICC.
Interpol should nab both of them at the same time.
@interpol.int, your move. 🇺🇦
“Still, the president had remained intrigued by the thought of a summit’s made-for-TV spectacle.” Putin knows Donald loves pageantry, so that’s what he’s giving him in exchange for Ukrainian territory, or if he can’t get that right now, then for more time from Donald. Donald is easily manipulated.
This is an Employee Review of trump by his Boss/Superior Putin, to see if trump is proceeding accordingly. Nickolai Patruschev: "Trump relied on certain forces to achieve success in the election, to which he has a corresponding obligation."
wonderfully faux-neutral take, pretending as if both absurd and certain things are not so
He shouldn’t be safe
The Felon IS the mark
If anyone can fuck this up, it’s The Felon. This meeting will go badly for Ukraine and will reveal an even greater U.S. weakness on the global stage. Dear Leader is only capable to red meat rants to dumb AF morons in D county settings.
Another American betrayal from the PEDOPHILE OF THE UNITED STATES.
trump will offer Alaska to him in exchange for a ceasefire. They'll both agree and then neither one will do it

The summit meeting IN AMERICAN TERRITORY is in itself a win. Fuck #putler .
Trump is owned by the thugs Putin and Netanyahu.
Two of the worst human beings on this planet!
I wish you and Vivian Salama, and Michael Scherer were right that the purpose of Trump’s meeting with Putin is to “stop the bloodshed,” but he NEVER does anything for other people. Wake up dear readers, he is there to make some sort of deal for himself.
How does one say 🖕🏽 in Russian?
More frightening is what Putin will feel able to do if summit hands him a loss. 1. Regains support from elites unhappy that Putin missed earlier chances to cut a deal. ('Hey, I tried.') 2. Will feel more free to threaten NATO directly ('stop the arms or else') because he'll have domestic support.
When he’s here make sure to arrest and jail him in coordination with the international court. Then maybe another country can maybe do the same with ours next time he leaves.
It is not a peace deal when a foreign person draws your borders. Ukraine was not the aggressor. Ukraine is the country losing civilians everyday due to Putin’s aggression. Trump is so diluted if he thinks he can tell another nation to give up their land and he walks away with a Nobel prize.
Trump is being played again.
He is so weak when it comes to Russia.
Maybe these actions are to make it look like he’s doing something but it will just be the same complaining for months after and no changes
Maybe, who knows. Republicans are just making excuses for how weak he has been on Ukraine.
Item 8 on the agenda is a progress review of Trump’s Dacha. The airport needs to be enhanced now that the Lolita Express is so much larger.
Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle! 🎻
Trump has prepped the presidential knee pads and has been stretching his jaw in preparation for the meeting
