#Alaska #Russia #Ukraine
RantWoman has been indulging in snark about the upcoming meeting in Alaska between the US and Russian presidents.
Snark: Will the US President, for ONCE, PLEASE bring along his own interpreter???? Pretty Please
Snark: Did the US President misspeak when he said he is going to "Russia?"
--Would this mean a hop over to some Russian territory?
--Would this make Russian nationalists who might want Alaska back really, really happy?
Snark: Crimean War 1.0 in the 1850's left Russia in so much debt that they sold off Alaska to the US at bargain basement prices. Any chance that the US President could convince the Russian president that he really can't afford to hold onto Crimea this time either?
After the recent 8.8 magnitude earthquake of the coast of the Kamchatka Penninsula, there are a whole bunch of erupting volcanoes. Any chance of some kind of act of God that could handle two dictators at once? That would still leave a whole lot of mess to clean up, but maybe at least the messes would stop getting bigger.
One Ukrainian propaganda channel has Zelinskyi already in Alaska. Zelenskyi crashing the Trump Putin pow-wow would be just chef's kiss!
With that, some actual commentary:
Heather Cox Richardson on Europe working around the US
Jason Jay Smart

Witkoff's mistake could have ruined Trump's Alaska summit with Putin
argues Russia can keep bombing for a long time, cannot evaluate the level of disorder in Russia and the Kremlin
Russian nationalist Alexandr Dugin compares Russia to headless chicken.
If readers are lucky, RantWoman will herd together some commentary about nuclear brinksmanship and WWE style trash talking but perhaps this is enough for now.
