Can Trump pull off the deal of the century?

Who is Luke? A Democ . . . .

History, folks.

There will be no deal. The future registered sex offender doesn't know how to make deals. Much less, broker one. He's a Pussy who will cave.

This was never going to end any other way...

Any casual reader of military history could have predicted it and they could have predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well. Originally Posted by texassapper

Along the same line, here are some words of wisdom from Noam Chomsky,

Asked what form a potential settlement to the war in Ukraine might take, Chomsky says: “First of all, Ukraine will not be a member of Nato. That’s the red line that every Russian leader has insisted on since [the former Russian president Boris] Yeltsin and [the former Soviet president Mikhail] Gorbachev.” He adds: “Ukraine gains the status of, say, Austria during the Cold War or Mexico today. Mexico can’t join a military alliance [hostile to the US]. There’s no treaty about it but it’s perfectly obvious.”

Chomsky also points out that Russia's treated Ukraine with kid gloves, to minimize civilian casualties.

Chomsky's father was born in what's Ukraine today.

Putin is coming to Alaska to talk with Trump about the war in Ukraine. Trump says he will sound out Putin and try to convince Putin that peace is better for everyone than a war that is still killing 3,000 to 5,000 people a week.

Trump got a cease fire between Iran and Israel however long it lasts.
Trump got deal done between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Rwanda and whatever damn country in Africa that they were fighting.

Can Trump come away with an understanding and take that idea to Zelensky for approval?

Can Trump get a lock on a Nobel Peace Prize to the chagrin of TDS sufferers?

Will the left acknowledge the progress being made?

That last is possibly the most difficult. Originally Posted by Schwarzer Ritter

Man, what I would find extremely hilarious and quite the appropriate end to most matters is if the Alaskan govenor surrounded and apprehended putin party and put him on a one way flight to the Hague.

No one said this meeting was to finalize anything. Those are your words. Putin agreed to this meeting for some reason. He can't beat Ukraine like he thought he could and Trump is threatening sanctions which knee capped Putin the last go around. Putin is the stronger of the two combatants so he will decide how this ends. When Trump presents his case about sanctions and what Putin will settle for the they can pull in Zelensky. Only common sense which the left has abandoned for TDS.

Yup. My words. And I say again, how can you finalize a deal without all parties involved.

Be it the first or last meeting. Read what you want into that. You can't exclude one party......that is unless the 2 parties are carving up the uninvited for their own gain.

Sounds like you're working with Putin.
