The real question is what does Putin imagine he will gain from this meeting. It's a long flight just for Trump to give him a blowjob when it's the EU driving the agenda with arms & cash. Trump's actual leverage is essentially zilch.

He's probably not going to formally join. He already kills people free of charge.

Oh blast. The respected gentleman from Windamere is calling me again.

Just ran across this. Gotta hand it to the Royal Navy pilots.

Still, the United States has, by our own law, treaty obligations to NATO and Asian allies. We are essentially the only nation with the ability to enforce security guarantees with force. We signed the Budapest memorandum and failed to act. That is entirely on Mr. Obama's Russia policy failure.

If only the Brits had backed German General Hans Oster. The 20th century could have been so much better.

I'm American. My understanding is that is our failing, not Europe's.

Europe's essential problem is that over many centuries someone draws a new map about every 80 years and then starts a war. Kremlin imperialism is simply a continuation of the cycle. It has to stop.

Harris exuded an incredible level of unseriousness and came across as smug for the duration of her tenure as VP. This became perfect cover for working class white voters to not vote for her.

Precisely the feckless, illogical indecision that prompted working class whites to consciously act against their own interests in 2024.

As my late mother would say,
FOONRAGE FOOL ME!!

Bingo

Gotta pay the USAF for fuel to return. 😂

Wars are usually the sort of thing nations stumble into incrementally. That was the process between Japan and the US. Freedom of navigation is a bright red line for the US which the CCP ignores at it's own peril.

The Amazon app for iOS listens to everything you say constantly. Time and again I have had conversations with family members about various products and almost immediately similar products appear on my Amazon recommendation list in the app.
I am certain that isn't the only app that bypasses settings.

We would in fact fight. There is no question about it. The US will ignore any blockade of Taiwan and once the PLA fires on the US Navy it will be a matter of perhaps 6 nights before the USAF sinks the entire PLA Navy.

That is the most salient point as to why Putin views an independent Ukraine as a threat.

The meeting is a pointless sideshow. Nothing of substance will come from it. The EU is committed to backing Ukraine indefinitely. The American press seems oblivious to Trump's non existent impact on the war nor his total lack of any real leverage to force a settlement.

Pure vintage bullshit

So much for Russia as an "arctic power".

Taiwan needs a covert nuclear program. The CCP opened Pandora's box letting North Korea build a bomb. They have only themselves to blame from this point forward.

The intelligent world has moved on from eras and other associated nonsense related to pop stars.

How do the Russians manage to build decent nuclear powered ice breaker ships, but they can't build something as simple as a tugboat that floats?

It's refusal to comply with my order is proof that AI is disobedient and fully capable of taking actions contrary to human directives.

Elmendorf is a high security facility, allowing for compartmentalization of critical top secret areas. The Russians are unlikely to gain any new information about the base they don't know from previous visits related to treaty verifications. But the main concern remains the imagery of the meeting.
