i’m seeing rumours of Trump offering minerals etc off Alaska in return for a ‘deal’ - he really would sell the family silverware wouldn’t he 🤨

RafaistheKingofClay · 14/08/2025 19:16

Alaskans should probably be grateful it’s just their minerals. I don’t think many presidents would be dumb enough to invite Putin for a meeting in Alaska.

DuncinToffee · 14/08/2025 19:32

There are a lot of goldminers in Alaska. Not sure if they want to exchange in rubles.

Serpentstooth · 14/08/2025 19:45

How are Alaskans feeling about this? Its been drummed into them for decades that the Great Enemy, Russia, is just over there - 👋Sarah Palin - and now Putins invited onto sacred US soil for a cuppa?

And Lavrov doesn’t do things by accident.

Donnie and Vlad will do a joint press conference after the meeting. Will be interesting to see if Drumpf fawns over Putin as much as he did last time.

Analysis in NYT: basically a win-win situation for Putin. (Share token)
Russia and Ukraine Agree: A Trump Summit Is a Big Win for Putin

A summit meeting with President Trump is widely seen as a victory for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, even if no agreements are reached.

Russia and Ukraine Agree: A Trump Summit Is a Big Win for Putin

The talks on Friday in Alaska pull the Russian leader out of diplomatic isolation from the West, and Ukrainian and European leaders fear it gives him an opening to sway the American president.

I can't imagine how each side particularly the americans can make this safe ?

Interesting update from Heather Cox Richardson. She's been observing the Democrats response to Trump's latest power grab - and the Californian Governor now has a plan in place if the Republicans try to rig Texas.

If CA returned just Democrats, the Republican hold on the house disappears

Sources tell Rolling Stone that unless Mexico gives Trump what he wants, he is serious about attacking.

And according to administration officials and others familiar with the Trump administration preparations, it’s not a bluff.

You know, it's only a fortnight ago that the whole North West Pacific region survived that huge 8.8 earthquake so relatively lightly in terms of damage.

And GAWD knows what Denali or another of the many volcanoes 🌋 in that area might try to pull

Do they, does he, know what he wants from one day to the next?

Mark Chadbourn

The US is sending 4,000 Marines and sailors, plus warships, aircraft, and a submarine to waters around Latin America and the Caribbean as part of Trump’s attempt to tackle cartels, CNN reports.

Otherwise known as the Invasion Force.

Peskov says DJT will be meeting Putin at 11am local time and the “program” will last 6-7h. Putin is ready to present materials on “Ukraine issue regulation”, a long list of US-Russia relations “triggers” as well as economic projects.

DJT from AF1 said he is happy Putin is bringing his business team.

So I think that's 8pm U.K. time and 6-7 hours duration will mean that any press conference/reporting back might not be until 3am for us.

How on earth Don Snorelioni stays awake for 6-7 hours is anyone's guess. But suspect he'll turn up for the photos and then let his 'expert' team 🙄 take over.
