    Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.

      My prediction is that Putin will offer him Alaska in exchange for Canada, and Trump will grab it, without considering that Alaska isn’t his to give away, nor is Canada Putin’s.

          If the three major world powers (America, China, and Russia) ever sort out their authoritarian governments, it’d be neat to take a train across the world to Beijing.

          Can you at least give Canada a heads up when you start making it even easier for Trump and Putin to get our country from all sides at once? Thanks.

            100%. Russia likes to control the countries on their borders, to act as a buffer against invasion. Better to defend you country on someone else’s soil, and destroy their assets. We use the oceans for the exact same thing.

            That is, until he deliberately made enemies of those on our direct borders. Next he will want to control those countries, because he will feel it is very important to controlling the borders.

            And all these ideas are coming from Putin. After their meeting, expect HitlerPig to start spouting all sorts of nonsensical concepts that would be terrible for us, but great for Putin.

      Why are no leaders playing him like a fiddle on this?

      Ensure Russia ends the war with the same or less land than it started with and he’s a dead cert

      Reality doesn’t matter to him so just string him along
