Putin’s Alaska triumph

 https://www.politico.eu/article/putins-alaska-triumph/

While that didn’t happen and Ukraine wasn’t sold out, Putin still appears to have got the most out of the encounter.

He secured the meeting, notwithstanding being a wanted man for war crimes, and was greeted on American soil as a friend, not the leader of a pariah state that invaded a sovereign neighbor.

And he got all this without agreeing any major concessions, including a ceasefire, beforehand — and left Anchorage without having committed to a truce either, despite Trump saying during their joint press conference that his Russian counterpart is keen to save thousands of lives. Apparently not that keen.

  1. Trump is weak, inexperienced, and does not know how to deal with Putin or a strong enemy.

  2. Trump isn't weak. He's a businessman dealing with politicians.

    1. You might be strong in business, learning, and sciences. Assuming you have no boxing or wrestling experience, as soon as you enter the ring, you are weak. If you appoint advisers you have picked to lie to you and to say what you want to hear, then you will not be effective in dealing with warfare or conflict.

    2. Wow so if he decided to do brain surgery you would excuse his failure because he is only a business man. He has no ability to deal with dictators he admires or to deal with the economy or other issues. Even as a business man he has not shown any great ability. His ability is entirely being a con man.

    3. Obama was a politician. He tried to give Iran the bomb. I'd rather have a businessman who might pull off a deal than a politician who gives everything away.

    4. Wow More MAGA lies Just like he created the Epstein files and ran a ring of pedophiles in the basement of a pizzaria and George Washington had a force of F35 jets
