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.
Trump is as worthless and stupid as the traitors that voted for him
Unban him!
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.
