It appears the conflicting reports yesterday about whether Trump would meet with Putin first without Zelensky have been resolved and he will do what Putin wants - a meeting without Zelensky. Trump announced today that it will take place next Friday in Alaska.
Is JD Vance going to show up for this so they can yell at Putin for indiscriminate bombings of civilian population centers, or is that kind of treatment only given to allies who fail to thank Trump sufficiently?
There has been some reporting that Putin has wanted a face-to-face meeting alone with Trump for months because he thinks he can always get Trump to do what he wants in those situations.
Ukraine war analyst Michael Mackay: “It’s Trump’s war. Russia put Trump in the WH to do exactly what he’s doing: blocking sanctions by the Senate and refusing to impose sanctions by executive authority. Under Putin puppet Trump, the US has broken with traditional allies and joined wrong side. Trump gave 2 weeks for Russia to observe a ceasefire. Then he gave 2 weeks again. Then he gave 50 days. Then he gave 10 days. After the latest arbitrary and meaningless deadline, Trump chickened out. Trump always chickens out. Russia continues to commit war crimes.”
