So, the meeting in Alaska was a planned hype distraction after all....

The Rusky and our spineless leader had no plans to actually discuss peace....Seems to me, they teamed up to try an move the media discussion off of Epstein and glorify themselves as well.

Maybe it is just how I see it....I am not following the mainstream media ...too sickening as you probably know...


Wash, rinse repeat .....it always is a showtime for them.... I didn't take the bait.

Putin desperate for money.
Trump desperate to get that evidence.



And everyone thought it was a nothingburger.

but news coming out of Pravda and Hannity, it appears that Krasnov agreed with Putin that Ukraine had to accept the "peace plan" of giving up territory that Russia is occupying. This is what will be discussed in the next meeting which will include Zelenskyy, that Zelenskyy must accept Krasnov's and Putin's terms for "peace."

The United States has taken the side of Russia in the Ukraine war, the implications are many, mainly, no military aid from us. Maybe the US will start supplying military aid to Russia? Someone should ask Krasnov that question.

But then again, it fits with the distraction theme swallowed hook, line, and sinker by the mainstream media.
