It appears President Trump is engaging in a little TACO dance in the leadup to his meeting with President Putin of Russia:
Donald Trump has warned he would ‘walk’ if Vladimir Putin does not cooperate in talks to end Russia’s offensive in Ukraine at their historic Alaska summit.
‘We’re going for a meeting with President Putin in Alaska. And I think it’s going to work out very well, and if it doesn’t, I’m going to head back home real fast,’ Trump told Fox News host Bret Baier.
The interview took place on Air Force One, hours before Trump is scheduled to land in Alaska.
Once Putin arrives in the United States, the leaders are scheduled to begin face-to-face talks at a ‘working breakfast’ in the Elmendorf Air Force Base, a news conference could follow.
Earlier, Trump told reporters Russia ran the risk of ‘very severe’ economic sanctions if Putin stalled on talks to end the three-year war in Ukraine.
He also said America would not do any business with Russia until the conflict is settled.
If Trump actually means it, it’s going to be a very short meeting. Three years of economic sanctions have done nothing but enrich Russia while draining Europe dry. As I have stated for some time now, there are some basic realities that must be accepted by all of Clown World’s puppets:
- The monopolar world is over. The USA doesn’t give orders anymore.
- Crimea, the four Donbass oblasts, and Odessa are Russian.
- Russia can add everything up to the Dnieper River if they so choose.
- No NATO on Russia’s borders.
- No more economic sanctions if you want to avoid a multi-generational economic war that the West will eventually lose.
- China is a better and stronger ally to Russia than the EU/UK are to the USA.
I don’t think President Trump can bring himself to accept those things. So I expect the summit will be a failure. But you never know, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
