After returning from Alaska on Saturday, Vladimir Putin told top officials assembled in the Kremlin that his summit with Donald Trump had “brought us closer to the necessary solutions”.

Those solutions, Putin stressed, involve Ukraine’s capitulation to the maximalist demands that prompted his 2022 invasion. “Settling these root causes [for the war] must be the foundation for a settlement,” he said.

The extraordinary meeting at Anchorage’s Elmendorf Air Force base has ended Putin’s pariah status and brought Washington’s stance on the war closer to Moscow’s.

And Putin did not need to budge an inch.

        The modlog suggests that this guy advocated for violence across three comments, which got him a 7 day ban. I would like to see more even enforcement of the rules here, including holding Trumpers and MAGAts accountable when they do the same thing, but this is an open and closed case of rule violations. I’ve censored the posts below but if you want to see what he said, click here and search for him by name.

    Trump is a Russian puppet and Putin is a war criminal.

    The fact that Putin wasn’t arrested immediately when he stepped foot on American soil shows you just how badly he’s grabbing Trump by the pussy to get what he wants.

    I’m hoping the EU holds out for more with Ukraine. America is Russias little cuck bitch at this point and Trump will give him whatever he wants without question.

      My question is, how long before Trump is declared a war criminal by other countries? Why aren’t other countries trying to bring true justice to him?…. My personal answer is that there isn’t anymore true justice.

        Pretty much every President since Roosevelt can be argued to have been a war criminal, so I don’t see why countries would suddenly start holding the US accountable.

          Previous presidents’ war crimes didn’t crash the entire global economy. Want people to care? Fuck with their money.

        What justice was served by the Trail of Tears? Or by the MOVE bombing? Rainbow Farm?

        Justice has always been one sided.

    He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.

    Of course Putin doesn’t need to budge, Trump is his stooge. The orange skidmark was tripping over himself to fellate him.
