The so-called Alaska summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday lasted for just three hours and did not result in a peace deal for Ukraine.

"We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there," President Trump said during a press address at the summit on Friday.

There's little sign that Putin has abandoned his maximalist goals in Ukraine. President Trump, meanwhile, dropped his demand for cease-fire and is now discussing a broader peace deal that could involve Ukraine giving up territory still under its control in exchange for security guarantees for Ukraine.

Putin, for his part, offered to freeze the existing front lines if Ukraine were to pull back from the Donbas region entirely. This would mean Ukraine would surrender territory that it's still fighting in today.

2. My neighbor took over my back yard

The Mayor got involved
Wants me to consider doing a “land swap”

4. I broke into my neighbor's house and planted my flag. Now all this stuff belongs to me.

The original owner came back and I had to kill him. Savages!

5. Where I grew up they called people like Trump "wimps".

6. Ain't gonna happen

And, with a bunch of Euro leaders physically there to back up Z, Trump will be steamrolled. And I have no doubt they are coming to discuss this tariff mess with Trump, too. King of like a mafia style sit down.

7. nevermind

that Ukraine signed a treaty with Russia, where they would give up their nukes, if Russia promises to never invade Ukraine.
So why trust anything Putin or Trump says? They are both huge liars.

8. I don't think that pitch will make it to home plate.

The pitcher is weak.

9. Zelensky will tell him in his language..."GO FUCK YOURSELF, Donald!"

Zelensky will resist. Good for him.

For it is Volodymyr Zelensky who hold the cards.

10. Trump submitting to Russia like a good doggie.

[Bayard]

11. trump thinks he's going to make Zenlensky an offer he can't refuse

The other dons are there to back up Ukraine. They know if Putin takes part of Ukraine, he'll soon want all of Ukraine, then move on to their countries.

13. What's the swap?

Ukrainians get a guarantee of security if they agree to move to Alaska? Or Greenland?

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. I wonder how MAGA would look upon the idea of giving Russia large, "compensatory" chunks of Alaska instead.

Yeah, I thought so.

15. What land

Is Russia swapping? They say land swap but I don't see anywhere that Russia is "swapping" any land to Ukraine. So maybe Corporate Shill Media can quit calling it a land swap until Russia swaps some of its land.

16. Trump's idea of a land swap

Russia gets all of Ukraine, then Russia helps Trump get Greenland. They'll call it a great compromise!!
