Moscow is infuriated that Trump dared to give an ultimatum to dictator Putin ahead of the Alaska summit

[schmidlap]

+1, that poster nails it. moscovia’s imperial hunger never ends, whether it’s ukraine, alaska, or whatever delusion they’re selling next. the world finally sees their game.

Trump's anticipated show of impotence in Alaska (a US state) comes at a time most Americans have already gotten sick of the blowhard's sorry act.

Trump’s Tariffs and ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ Face More Opposition Than Support as His Job Rating Slips​

Six months into his second term, public evaluations of Trump’s job performance have grown more negative. His job approval stands at 38% (60% disapprove), and fewer Americans now attribute several positive personal characteristics to him than did so during the campaign. Two of the new administration’s signature accomplishments – the rollout of its tariff policies and the tax and spending law known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” – garner considerably more disapproval than approval.​

​

In regard to Ukraine/Russia, he has 38.4% approval/54.3% disapproval.

Regarding Inflation, it's even more dismal:

Putin is well aware of the plummeting estimation of the schlock tv performer at home and abroad, and may try a spirit of levity by cajoling him with an inquiry about those Black immigrants eating pet cats and dogs. (Elbow poke to the ribs optional)

Who has the better hand to play, and who is bluffing? (poker analogy)

Trump may offer Putin something he wants, to make it a win-win for both sides.

Russia does not want to look weak, and Trump knows it.

So my bet is Trump flatters Putin and offers something of value, maybe a new SALT Treaty?

Judging by his latest polls, Trump is weak, and Putin knows it.

A baseline from which to deal with Russia's unprovoked invasion and occupation of Ukraine is for Trump to abandon his fake history and confront reality. Truth matters.

Trump’s phony narrative about the Russian invasion is only the latest in a long line of false claims from the president about the war. Among other things, Trump has this year:​

• Repeatedly used imaginary figures to incorrectly make it seem as if the US has provided far more aid to Ukraine than Europe has; the opposite is true.
• Falsely said he was speaking “in jest” and being “sarcastic” when he solemnly promised dozens of times during his 2024 campaign to immediately end the war if he was elected.
• Used inaccurate numbers to understate Ukrainians’ support for President Volodymyr Zelensky early in the year and overstate their support for a negotiated end to the war today.
• Falsely claimed Ukraine started the war that was actually started by Russia.
• Falsely claimed Zelensky admitted half of US aid money went missing, though Zelensky made no such comment.

As long as Trump spews his lies, progress is not possible.

Alaska could become Putin’s grave—it looks like Trump’s trap to me...

Free World Journalists were thrown out after they started asking war-criminal putin about the shelling of peaceful cities and the killing of civilians.

Beautiful scenes in Anchorage, Alaska.

Trump's rolling out the red carpet for a war criminal who heads a nation whose GDP is 1/15th that of the US is obscene. The blowhard's indulgent attitude to the invader does not represent the American people, and now that Trump's approval level is plummeting, Republicans who are not in his cult are no longer kowtowing to him.

Americans remain overwhelmingly more sympathetic to Ukraine than to Russia, with a marked increase in sympathy Republicans feel toward Ukraine since March.​

​

Nearly two-thirds of Americans polled, 64 percent, say they sympathize more with Ukraine compared to two percent who say they sympathize more with Russia. This support for Ukraine constitutes an increase of five percent from 59 percent the last time we conducted a similar poll in March 2025. Notably, most of the increase came from Republicans whose sympathy went up from 45 percent in March of 2025 to 55 percent in the latest poll, while Democratic support remains nearly the same at 83 percent compared to 82 percent in March 2025. Sympathy with Russia has remained nearly non-existent at 2 percent—a constant since July 2024—with practically no Democrats sympathizing more with Russia and only 3 percent of Republicans saying the same.​

For First Time, Most Americans Want to Back Ukraine for ‘as Long as It Takes’

"Z-bloggers" say Putin is in a dominant position because his legs are spread wide.

I now await the ineffectual blowhard's toadies explaining how his elevation of a war criminal foments justice for the nation he and his North Korean allies have attacked, invaded, and occupy.

Americans, by a growing margin, disapprove of the blowhard's handling of the matter:

Important. Good work by Melania Trump, if true. Will this letter help bring back Ukraine’s stolen children? Still, the Moscowempire must face consequences for crimes against humanity — not just polite requests.

Americans, by a growing margin, disapprove of the blowhard's handling of the matter:

Simply put, Putin wants all of Ukraine, he wants Ukraine to stay in Russia's sphere of influence, period.
Escalation can be very dangerous, be careful what you wish for.

It may very well be that the Russians are going to come-out on top again.

If that happens, the US should open its borders to as many Ukrainians as would like to come to America for asylum.

Including any currently taking shelter in other European countries since February 2022.

A million or two to New York City.

A million or two to Chicago.

A million or two to Los Angeles.

And lesser amounts to lesser cities.

Replacing the current crop of Illegal Aliens with Legal Immigrants.

Do that and give it six or seven years and watch Law and Order and Sane Government and Safety return to those places.

It would be great fun to watch Chicago vote Republican again for the first time in nearly a century.
