I imagine Putin will let Trump run his mouth for part of the meeting.
Then he will squash Trump like a bug and Trump will limp out of the meeting
with the sorry ass look on his face like in Helsinki.

He loves to threaten people and pretend his bullying is genius negotiating, but with others he's usually pretty overt about what the threat is. And usually it's pretty over the top.

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't heard him say what the threat or leverage against Putin is.

Funny that.

trump is Satan's gift to Putin. Putin jerks off to trump every night. Putin never had it so good.

Proof positive of all this forthcoming, from Russia---excuse me, what currently is Alaska.

If Pooty was scared of you he would have given it up a long time ago.

I think he wants all of Ukraine as he would then have convenient access to former SSRs Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. Much easier then to draw them back into the fold and revive the long tradition of Russian imperialism.

No real journalists would come there and ask such stupid questions. They are so bad they can’t even do a decent job of faking it. This is a complete clown show and a total embarrassment to America. The whole world is witnessing this nonsense.

...is a clear tell that he is perfectly okay with Putin taking over some of it.

And that he'll call that situation a win in his book, and scream for a Nobel Prize.
