Trump and Putin will meet on Aug 15 at a US military base in Alaska. Officially it’s about “talks” and maybe even a Ukraine ceasefire, but critics think it’s more about optics and giving Putin a stage.
Zelensky already said no deal without Ukraine at the table, so hard to see any real breakthrough here.
What do you guys think — could this actually change something, or is it just going to be another media circus?
He is willing to do anything that takes away the focus from Epstein files.
Reason why others aren't invited is that no one else will accept the terms, so any deal they will make wouldn't be valid anyway. So it's purely just a performance act.
Trump will definitely lie that he solved the issue, because he is obsessed with a nobel prize, but it's going to be just a show.
Or other way i can see this going is that Trump is willing to bribe Putin in some way that he can keep his face. One scenario would be USA leaving NATO, and removing sanctions, so that Putin has time to lick his wounds and prepare for next invasion.
