7/ The proposed meeting between Trump and Putin on August 15 in Alaska is history repeating itself. If it happens, it will be unprecedented in both location and symbolism — Alaska was once in the sights of russian imperial ambition, and Putin thrives on historical symbols.

8/ This meeting will serve the Kremlin’s interests above all: 1. It will be presented in russian propaganda as “an equal meeting of great powers,” undermining U.S. resolve. 2. It will shift the focus from Ukraine’s victory to a “compromise” narrative with the aggressor.

9/ 3. Putin’s proposal to stop the war in exchange for Donbas is not peace — it’s a reward for aggression and war crimes. 4. Losing part of Donetsk region would dismantle the fortified defense lines Ukraine has built since 2014 and open a direct path for russia to strike further west.

10/ 5. No credible security guarantees are on offer — russia would simply get a pause to prepare for the next stage of aggression.

11/ And Trump? He has already shown his impotence. He threatened russia with “two more weeks” multiple times and set an August 8 deadline. Today is August 9. The deadline passed — and nothing happened.

12/ No consequences, no action, just empty words. The ultimatum turned into a bluff, strengthening the Kremlin’s position by proving that threats can be ignored.

13/ History has a cruel way of repeating itself when its lessons are ignored. In 1938, appeasement led directly to a world war. In 2025, it could lead to something far worse. /End

Zelenskyy calling any agreement that gives any part of Ukraine to Russia "stillborn" reveals the truth. This is an illegitimate meeting. A felon capitulating to an indicted war criminal is not resolution. The US agreed to defend Ukraine's sovereignty when it signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994.

trump is too stupid to realize that Putin has been watching his bravado and will chop him down as soon as they (cough) confer privately.
