After returning from Alaska on Saturday, Vladimir Putin told top officials assembled in the Kremlin that his summit with Donald Trump had “brought us closer to the necessary solutions”.

Those solutions, Putin stressed, involve Ukraine’s capitulation to the maximalist demands that prompted his 2022 invasion. “Settling these root causes [for the war] must be the foundation for a settlement,” he said.

The extraordinary meeting at Anchorage’s Elmendorf Air Force base has ended Putin’s pariah status and brought Washington’s stance on the war closer to Moscow’s.

And Putin did not need to budge an inch.

Trump is as worthless and stupid as the traitors that voted for him

    The modlog suggests that this guy advocated for violence across three comments, which got him a 7 day ban. I would like to see more even enforcement of the rules here, including holding Trumpers and MAGAts accountable when they do the same thing, but this is an open and closed case of rule violations. I've censored the posts below but if you want to see what he said, click here and search for him by name.

    Advocating for violence against right wing Nazis is common sense.

    It may be, but it's also against the rules here, specifically Rule 6. And having tangled with the mod staff in the past, they are hardest on the Left on this. Do you want to get muzzled for 7 days? Because JohnnyFlapHoleSeed did the above and got muzzled for 7 days.

    Trump is not authorized to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine… full stop. Anything that happened in Alaska was solely for show and for Trump to get his updated marching orders from Putin.

    It was to put pressure on Ukraine and Europe and to make them look like warmongers, when muskovites are reasonable and just want to end this war.

    Trump is a Russian puppet and Putin is a war criminal.

    The fact that Putin wasn’t arrested immediately when he stepped foot on American soil shows you just how badly he’s grabbing Trump by the pussy to get what he wants.

    I’m hoping the EU holds out for more with Ukraine. America is Russias little cuck bitch at this point and Trump will give him whatever he wants without question.

    My question is, how long before Trump is declared a war criminal by other countries? Why aren’t other countries trying to bring true justice to him?…. My personal answer is that there isn’t anymore true justice.

    Americans voted this asshole into power, if the rest of the world had any backbone we would be isolating the US from international trade via harsh sanctions & retaliatory tariffs, so once unemployment hits great depression levels in the US the people would stand up and solve the problem themselves.

    Instead, countries like mine are lining up to kiss his ass because our leaders are neo-liberal pussies who are bought by the same ownership class as the American Democrats, and thus can't fathom the idea of a slight drop in profit.

    Pretty much every President since Roosevelt can be argued to have been a war criminal, so I don't see why countries would suddenly start holding the US accountable.

    This was a staff meeting / performance review. Pootie wanted to update Agent Krasnov on his next assignment, and Agent Krasnov wanted to show off his toys.

    How to outplay Trump:

    "No"

    Let's face it, a not-very-bright dog could outsmart Trump.

    So many easily-pushed buttons: narcissism, cowardice, greed.

    At the risk of being redundant, Putin isn't outplaying Krasnov; Putin outplayed America by putting Krasnov in charge and is now cashing in.

    Of course Putin doesn't need to budge, Trump is his stooge. The orange skidmark was tripping over himself to fellate him.

    He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.
