Trump and Putin share handshake in Alaska, a warm greeting belying the bloodshed in Ukraine

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Trump greeted Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Friday with a handshake, a smile and a ride in the presidential limousine before talks aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine, an unusually warm reception for a U.S. adversary responsible for launching the largest land war in Europe since 1945.

Trump and Putin gripped hands for an extended period of time on a red carpet rolled out at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. As they chatted, Putin grinned and pointed skyward, where B-2s and F-22s — military aircraft designed to oppose Russia during the Cold War — flew overhead.

Reporters nearby yelled, “President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?” and Russia’s leader put his hand up to his ear as though to indicate he couldn’t hear them. Trump and Putin then shared the U.S. presidential limo known as “The Beast” for a short ride to their meeting site, with Putin offering a broad smile as the vehicle rolled past the cameras.

It was the kind of reception typically reserved for close U.S. allies and belied the bloodshed and suffering in the war Putin started in Ukraine. Although not altogether surprising considering their longtime friendly relationship, such outward friendliness before hours of closed-door meetings is likely to raise concerns from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, who fear that Trump is primarily focusing on furthering U.S. interests and not pressing hard enough for Ukraine’s.’

Trump leaves Alaska summit with Putin empty-handed after failing to reach a deal to end Ukraine war

President Donald Trump has failed to secure an agreement from Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, falling short in his most significant move yet to stop the bloodshed, even after rolling out the red carpet for the man who started it.

A victory for Putin, a defeat for Trump.

And no, Putin the war criminal isn't going to stop killing civilians.

Trump, forever Putin’s useful idiot.

How dare they get together to try and stop the killing!

The OP and his ilk have today been demonstrating consistently how they would rather see the bloodshed continue, than to see Trump find success at this summit.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

I don't think that Zelensky wants the war to end.
Because that would be the end of his billion dollar grifting.

That's why Trump is President and somebody like you will never be. Trump knows from long experience that you don't get cooperation from people you treat with hostility. You seem to have never learned that.

Are there any depths of loathsomeness the leftards won't plumb?

 

[Natural Citizen]

Putin shoulda kissed the ground when he got off of his plane.

That would have been some championship trolling.

All of the talking heads on the idiot box would have been like...

You're a short sighted fool if you cannot see the purpose of using that airbase for this meeting.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Why?

Why not?

I don't know if it would do any good, but it could cause an uprising, and maybe the Russian people would be more willing to publicly demand an end to the war.

NO CEASE FIRE. The killing goes on. NO DEFINITE 2ND MEETING. NO DEFINITE MEETING WITH ZELINSKY.
What happened to stopping the war on day one.

Putin walks away still taking land in Ukraine. There has been no sanctions against Russia by the USA. At the very least, I hope Trump does what he promised; big sanctions without a cease fire.
The Russians and Putin are very happy according to the Russiand press.
