Only Thing Missing from Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks Is Ukraine

Former KGB Agent and current international war criminal and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is meeting this afternoon at an American Air Force base in Anchorage, Alaska, with former American reality television personality and current US President Donald Trump where they will reportedly look for ways to end the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine.   

Putin, age 72, ordered Russsian troops into Ukraine initially in 2014 in an occupation that resulted in Russia annexing to Crimean portion of Ukraine.   Russia upgraded that "conflict" to a major war eight years later when it invaded the country in a full-blown military assault.  That "war" has dragged on since February of 2022 with Ukraine proving to be a much tougher opponent that Putin had originally expected.  Today Ukraine stands tall as the only major impediment to Russia rolling its war machine across much of Eastern Europe

Trump, age 79, presented as little more than a fan boy of Putin during his first erm in office, but this time around the American leader  is beginning to show signs of aggravation with Putin's intransigence in not moving to end the war.  Trump appears totally fixated on winning a Nobel Peace Prize for himself and sees either having a role in ending the war in Ukraine or the war in Gaza as being a key to that honor, and right now he apparently senses a clearer path to his goal through Ukraine than he does through Gaza. 

So Vladimir Putin, a man known for his determination and cruelty will have a sit-down this afternoon with Donald Trump, a man known for his love of flattery, and together they will try to broker a plan that will resolve Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine.  Significantly, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the leader of Ukraine and the man whose nation is being torn asunder by the Russian war machine has not been invited to attend the meeting in Alaska.

What could possibly go wrong?

If Trump fails to get a "deal" today in Alaska, perhaps he can at least sell Putin some crypto, or maybe a membership at Mar-a-Lago.  It would be a damned shame to fly all that way and not profit somehow!
