(49,531 posts)Trump is nothing but Putin's ignorant little lapdog.
With wagging tongue and tail, he has no idea
that his master is totally making fun of him.
Nothing good will come of this.

He's just like Trump. Always whining about being cheated.

(6,570 posts)However that's a very long stretch from the US handing it back to them. Even longer than annexing Greenland or Canada...
Crap, haven't we enough to worry about as it is?

(23,201 posts)The only better place for Putin than Alaska would be if the summit were being held in Moscow, Bolton added. So the initial setup, I think, is a great victory for Putin.
Julia Ioffe, founding partner and Washington correspondent of Puck News, tweeted: So Vladimir Putin, who has an ICC warrant out for his arrest, gets a meeting with the U.S. president on U.S. soil without having to give up or even promise anythingafter ignoring and insulting Trump. One more win for Putin, one more loss for Trump.
