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 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.

        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.

        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.

        What justice was served by the Trail of Tears? Or by the MOVE bombing? Rainbow Farm?

        Justice has always been one sided.

        Never was. Your favorite US president was likely a war criminal.
