For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

America’s Allies Are Ditching the F-35 - Because Of Trump​

In this highly uncertain world, with wars raging and tensions rising - many countries have committed to boosting their defence spending - and that includes buying new fighter jets. Many countries in NATO and elsewhere, had committed to buying American F-35 jets. President Trump loves the F-35, and encourages everyone to buy them.

But suddenly people are dropping those commitments like hot stones, as it sinks in just what a strategic risk it would be for any country to buy such technology from America. Because plain and simple, they trust it no more. And this is just the first substantial sign of how Trump's bullying is coming back to bite America hard. Let's discuss.

And then there's Canada......

"Draft and Destroy" - Russia’s justice system has transformed into a nationwide military recruitment machine

In 2025, Russia’s justice system has transformed into a nationwide military recruitment machine, bypassing trials and sentencing in favor of shoving citizens—guilty or not—straight to the frontlines in Ukraine. Police stations now double as enlistment centers, with officers coercing petty offenders, the homeless, and even crime victims into signing military contracts under threat of prison. What began as isolated abuses has evolved into a state-backed pyramid scheme, offering cash bounties and promotions for every recruit delivered, regardless of fitness or consent.

In some regions, governors openly fund these quotas, turning law enforcement into human traffickers for the war effort. The result is a total collapse of legal protections: courtrooms replaced by trenches, punishment replaced by combat, and justice replaced by profit. No Russian is safe from being rounded up, marketed as a “patriot,” and shipped to die for a war they never chose. This is the brutal reality behind Russia’s accelerating recruitment drive—and the dangerous signs that something dire is about to happen.

Trump's rates his disastrous sellout to Russia in Alaska as a 10 out of 10

Trump's advice to Zelensky. "Russia's a great big power. Make a deal" and then talks to Putin about how the 2020 elections was rigged.

Hannity asked Trump about the severe consequences on Russia if no ceasefire? "Two weeks, three weeks, we can think about it. The meeting went very well...."

"It's up to Zelensky to get it done...." Really, there was no point to this meeting in Alaska except to give Putin a propaganda victory and do nothing to assist Ukraine.

It's totally obvious at this point that Trump will do absolutely nothing to help Ukraine and wants Putin to win. Europe and Ukraone just need to bite the bullet, accept that Trump has gone rogue on the free world and do what they have to do. If they can get some help or buy weapons from the USA, fine. Ig not, c'est la vie.

Sickening. Shameful. And in the end, useless. More bullshitsky from Trump

A blood-soaked dictator and war criminal received a royal welcome in the land of the free — as his attack drones and missiles headed for Ukrainian cities. In the lead-up to the meeting in Alaska, U.S. President Donald Trump declared he wanted a “ceasefire today” and that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin would face “severe consequences” if he didn't go for it. Yet after a 2.5-hour closed-door meeting, Trump and Putin emerged to share… nothing. “Progress” was made and some “understanding” reached, but the two didn’t come to an agreement on “the most significant point” — clearly, Ukraine.

Trump didn’t get what he said he wanted. But Putin did. From the moment he stepped off the plane on U.S. soil, the Russian dictator was beaming. No longer an international pariah, he was finally getting accepted – and respected — by the leader of the free world. Trump’s predecessor once called Putin a murderer; Trump offered him a king’s welcome. Trump greeted Putin with a red carpet, warm handshakes, a flyover of U.S. bombers, and a backseat limo ride. The chummy display stands in stark contrast to Trump’s hostile reception of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office six months ago.

Ukraine’s president endured a public shaming. Russia’s was pampered. Both episodes were disgraceful.

Trump seemed to believe that a warm meeting could appease Putin and make a ceasefire more likely. But there’s a lesson Trump still hasn’t learned: The Russian leader doesn’t really make deals — he takes. He takes what is offered to him, and then takes some more — he keeps taking until stopped by force. That is the Russian art of the deal. Trump fails to grasp that Putin isn’t transactional about Ukraine — he is messianic. He wants Ukraine for Russia, period. For Putin and his inner circle, Ukraine’s independence is an accident, and they are correcting it.

The Russian delegation made no effort to hide their mockery of the talks. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Alaska wearing a USSR sweatshirt — bluntly asserting Russia’s claim on Ukraine. Kremlin journalists wrote about how they were served chicken Kyiv on the government plane to Alaska — a not-so-subtle hint that Ukraine was “cooked.” The Russians clearly never took the “peace talks” seriously. And there was another reason behind Putin’s grin in Alaska. The Russian dictator was gloating because of how unsettling the meeting was for all U.S. allies, far beyond Ukraine. It sent a discomfiting signal to the viewers across the pond. And strategically, undermining the transatlantic alliance is an even more important Russian objective than taking control of Ukraine. Putin and Trump have certainly suceeded in doing that.

Putin returns from the Alaska Summit with a win — Trump haa once again said Ukraine must trade yet mopre land for peace, a totally illusionary peace that amounts to Kyiv’s capitulation. He has now openly stated he is not representing Ukraine - the former leader of the free world, for the USA is decidely not any more, has indulged a bloody dictator — in the name of 340 million Americans.

What Trump completely fails to understand is that agreements with Russia don’t live long. But the images of the U.S. military honor guards kneeling to roll out the red carpet for a murderer? Those will last.

And no one will remember this meeting longer — or more vividly — than Ukrainians.

 

[ChloeTzang]

While the American President shakes the blood-soaked hand of a war criminal and genocidal mass murderer and talks about trade deals, the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces turn another 1000 war criminals into good Russians.

 

[ChloeTzang]

U.S. President Donald Trump said on the call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders after the summit held in Alaska that Vladimir Putin's stance hasn't changed he still wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine's east, Bloomberg reported. "Trump said on the call that while it’s up to Ukraine to decide on what to do with its territory, Putin's stance hasn't changed – he still wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine's east," the agency said that referring to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition on anonymity.

Trump called his meeting productive, and signaled he would tell Zelenskiy to make a deal.

In other words, Trump is simply reiterating Putin's demands once again. Demands which Ukraine has already rejected. Poroshenko, one of two potential Ukrainian Presidential candidates other than Zelensky, has already said that a peace agreement is possible only after an unconditional ceasefire, and that concessions will have to be made by Putin. Zaluzhny, the likely winner in the next Ukrainian presidential elections, is more hardline than either Zelensky or Poroshenko.

In other words, Trump comes out of this looking like even more of a pro-Putin quisling than he has already demonstrarted himself. Roll on the total collapse of the Russian Federation, and Trumo can stick his illusionary trade deals with Russia up his ass. Wrapped in barbed wire and napalm.

Trump has been made to look like a FOOL by Putin. Period.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Trump has been made to look like a FOOL by Putin. Period.

The real problem is, Trump doesn't see it like that at all. He's helping Putin and backstabbing Ukraine to consistently and blatantly for it to be anything other than intentional. He's constantly pushing Ukraine to make unnecesary concessions that will help Putin when he next attacks, while doing nothing to help Ukraine defend itself or defend it's civilians against Russian terror attacks. His actions speak far louder than his words, and his words speak very loudly indeed.

Update from Ukraine | Meeting result: Putin Humiliated USA in Alaska thanks to Idiot Trump​

Imagine Roosevelt rescuing Adolf Hitler from his bunker in Berlin and flying him to USA for a "meeting“. That’s what basically happened here.

Only outcome is humiliation, embarrassment and cringe for the USA due to Trump. All the follow on meetings and the dinner that was supposed to happen were cancelled.

Fox News also actually reported it as it was. Jacqui Heinrich for Fox actually seems a bit stunned by what happened, "...it's not good." "Putin steamrolled Trump"

Kremlin LEAKS Footage to HUMILIATE Trump​

Trump a 'complete sucker' as Putin plays him for all he's worth ​

Two days ago Trump said that after this meeting that if there were no ceasefire that there would be severe consequences for Russia. Putin talked him out of a ceasefire. Putin talked him out of sanctions. So predictable.

NATO are not serious about helping Ukraine | Stefanie Babst​

Alaska summit was complicity between two cartel chiefs carving out their interests. Trump has switched sides and is aiding Russia. - former NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General Stefanie Babst.

“We really need to stop the talking circus and get into the doing mood.”

NATO has “not been that serious” about helping Ukraine, and moving forward, they need to help Ukraine without looking to Donald Trump and his actions, says former NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General Stefanie Babst.

Sir Bill Browder joins Times Radio’s Maddie Hale
for an in depth analysis of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s “humiliating” meeting where the US President left Alaska without a ceasefire, commitment to slap Russia with further sanctions or a peace deal being made.

- The Alaska summit was a travesty.
- Putin cares about sanctons, confiscation of reserves, etc.
- Main takeway - no ceasefire.
- Putin needs this war to distract Russians from his failures as a leader. This was in Ukraone is about Putin's survival and to stay in power
- Trump can offer nothing that will guarantee Putin that he can stay in power. There is no chance that Putin will pull back unless he has to due to absolute necessity.
- As for the "ceasefire" utimatum", Trump has done this six times now. He has no intention of following through and no credibility in Putin's eyes.
- Trump is returning home to a population, both Republican and Democrat, that increasingly wants to get tough on Putin and Russia.
-
Quite a lot more that's interesting in this interview

Putin is in this war for his survival. If he doesn't win, he dies.

Kremlin Purges PARALYZE Russia’s Army​

The Kremlin is consumed by purges, with the FSB sabotaging generals and turning fear into policy. Russia’s army is paralyzed, morale has broken, and factories burn as Ukraine strikes deeper into Russian territory. From refineries to chemical plants to the Kerch bridge, Moscow is losing the fight abroad while tearing itself apart at home.

This is the unraveling of Putin’s regime - a power struggle where fear replaces strategy, and collapse is no longer a question of if, but when

WSJ this weekend:

How Will the War in Ukraine End? Two Scenarios

The Trump-Putin summit in Alaska is over, and peace in Ukraine isn’t yet nigh. But the two most likely endings to the Russian invasion are coming into view.

Ukraine could lose land but survive as a secure and sovereign, if shrunken, nation state. Alternatively, it could lose both land and sovereignty, falling back into Moscow’s sphere of influence.

Which will come to pass—and when—is no clearer after Alaska, which disappointed hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough.

The answer was clear after the meeting - ourr President supports Putin.

Nonsense

Nonsense

The entire event was in praise of Putin.
A war mongering murderous autocratic dictator.

They did nothing except stroke egos.

And then told Zelensky to fall in line.

Might as well just invite him over for drinks.
The event wasn't "peace through strength"
It was forced capitulation through mutual masturbation.

You're blind

The meeting ended with no agreement. Nothing has changed. The three and a half year war continues to drag on with no end in sight. The outcome scenarios I shared from this weekend’s WSJ are on point.

Yes, it was meant to stroke Putin's ego. Never meant for an agreement

Nothing has changed.

Lol

The three and a half year war continues to drag on with no end in sight. The outcome scenarios I shared from this weekend’s WSJ are on point.

Yes, Putin will continue to invade.

Trump Always Chickens Out

Rubio is now on TV making excuses for this basic truth about the Orange Pig.

 

[ll74]

Nonsense

The biggest thing here is that Putin's entire argument is with NATO. And yet he did not attack a NATO country.

And yet he still decided NATO needs to capitulate. He also believes his country is on the same level as NATO...which is laughable.

I Think at some point Putin needs to be challenged....more than what has been done.

And yes, he has nukes..,..he says that a lot.

Make him challenge NATO

Some interesting subjects have been brought up lately, precisely that of 'land swaps.' Exactly how would that work and why would Russia be interested? Ukraine holds no land that was Russian. (Yes, there's that bulge up Kursk. More for show than any strategic value.)

So what gives with this 'land swap?' Reliable reports have stated that Russia has ordered all non-essential and military dependents out of the Crimea and have recommended that Russian citizens also evacuate. Is Russia considering offering up Crimea as a swap?

The more I think about it the more it makes sense. 200 years ago Crimea was an important strategic parcel of land, perhaps even a 100 years ago. Now it is a hard to defend albatross around the neck of whoever occupies it. In an era of precision long range weapons it's a logistic nightmare. The Ukrainians have rendered it almost useless as a maritime hub and are holding the airfields vulnerable. And it's sure as shit worthless as a base for an armored offense. I think it's entirely possible that Putin would offer to trade the Crimean Peninsula for the mineral rich region he already occupies.

2. Unfettered access to the black sea

Yes, Putin will continue to invade.

Correct. Putin will continue to invade and Ukraine will continue to fight until a negotiated settlement is reached at some point in the distant future. There is no scenario in which one side wins a decisive victory.
