Some of you have been very vocal and predictive so lets make it official. A poll about what you expect to happen. Its a short time poll, 24 hours. Make your mark, take a stand, and defend your thoughts. There is no expectation for a 100% outcome. Trump said so himself. So....
Putin knows he has the Democrat Party and the American Main Stream Media in his pocket because their hatred for President Trump will give Russia the automatic advantage in the PR war.
It’s almost like Vietnam. Putin knows President Trump only has so much time. He can simply wait him out.
He is more than glad for the Dems and our Media be his useful idiots.
Nothing of any import will happen. Trump will listen to Russian propaganda and likely spew some in the joint press conference. He’ll claim Putin wants peace. He”ll mention land swaps and then he”ll extend Russia another 90 days.
He knows Russia’s largest oil purchaser is China and he can’t tariff China without sending the cost of oil to 90 a barrel and causing a recession type economic catastrophe. So his options are only to talk big but carry a tiny twig.
Trump is making this shit up as he goes along. It would be grand to think he were playing Russia as a foil against China. Problem with that is Russia has a bloodly nose trying to take a neighbor with a GDP equivalent to Kansas. To date, Putin has been running circles around Trump, but Trumpets please keep believing.
UC, that can’t be true because Putin wants peace. And of course he’d never invade another country unless there was NATO talk to cause Putin to have no choice but to invade them. How dare you make statements that imply Putin could have larger designs than just freeing the ethnic Russians held against their will in Ukraine.
1)Trump has already said today the Ukraine will have to come to terms with ceding territory before even starting the meeting
2) Prior to arrival the Russian delegation ate Chicken Kiev - quite clever trolling
2) Lavrov wearing a CCCP sweatshirt - for the uninformed USSR - more trolling
