The Russian Foreign Minister wearing a CCCP (USSR) sweat shirt was a sign of their living in the past intentions. The next disaster will come after Rocketman Kim thinks his army has had enough practice in Ukraine and heads South.

Washington D.C relies on tourism for a big chunk of income.

Locals say tourists don't want to go through ICE checkpoints on the way to landmark attractions. Nobody does. Not even locals on the way to the park on Sunday.



Tldr; meandering video

This meeting today, seems bizarre. Trump is hell bent on a deal, thats fine in itself, but he wants UKR to ceded territory, so he is essentially selling them out

I watched that short clip it was funny as. They all joked, and the guy that ticked him off, apologised. Zelensky then told him he's wearing the same suit, more laughter, was a good short watch

I guess you have to see the video to understand that Zelensky fake picture. It just looks weird.

BBC News - How a fake image went round the world in a few hours

 

As we reported earlier, an AI-generated image of European leaders waiting for President Donald Trump at the White House has been widely shared online.

 

But what are some of the tell tale signs of AI-generation that we can see in the image? 

 

Read the article for details ...  🤓

What is a Trumplican GOP, USA security Guarantee worth?

 

Given all that has to happen is for Trump to talk to Putin,
its another 2 week or 60 days to see how things go.

 

So Putin knows that he can just do what he wants, unless Ukraine has real teeth.
That will have to keep up with Russian re-armament as well. 

 

Key Russian point is that Ukraine must downsize its military capability. 

 

Putin only has so much time to get to Moldova, cower the Baltics, and get back the USSR sphere of influence.

 

Its not just Trump though. 
J D Vance, Thiels sockpuppet, the whole cabinet is full of very Russian Oligarch money friendly ( Democracy is overrated we need strong Dictators ) types. So GOP after Trump will likely just follow the TechBro money.
Zuckerburg, Elon etc figure they can work quite happily as Oligarchs in authoritarian landscape, plus many in that sphere.
 
Ukraine has to be allowed to up its military capability substantially, and Europe has to get real on expensive re-armament.
Has to look at taking over that on the ground tripwire role that USA served for keeping Stalin at bay ( Berlin blockade and all ), and Kim's back from South Korea.

Im seeing a seismic shift with the DC meeting

 

Prior:

 

Putin wont fold on his land grab, in fact his snail pace delays allow him to gain ground while "acting" towards a peace deal

 

UKR wont fold on the land grabs

 

Trump is happy to force UKR to bend over so he can get his precious Nobel peace deal

 

 

 

Now:

 

The meeting was all of Putins opposition in a strong meeting

 

Trump will provide paid for arms and intelligence as his contribution to security measures.

 

EU wants boots on the ground, of NATO troops, using an Article 5 position, if one is attacked we all are attacked. 

 

While the last point is a no go for Putin, it appears to not be his choice. USA, EU, UKR vs Putin pushes him into a corner. 

 

 

 

They are pandering to Trump, which is required, and its a means to an end

Extra legs seems pretty obvious clue. We know doomsday is near if AI ever learns how many fingers, toes, arms and legs most people have.

Trump continue to attract "only the brightest and best" from the Fox News team

Trump Administration Minimizes Summit Papers Left in Hotel: New York Times

The Trump administration this weekend downplayed a report that officials left in a public area of a hotel documents describing the confidential movements of President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia during their meeting in Alaska on Friday.

NPR reported earlier that the documents were left on a printer in the Hotel.
...
The documents were produced by the Office of the Chief of Protocol, a position held by Monica Crowley, a former Fox News personality
...

The papers were found around 9 a.m. on Friday and sent to NPR by a guest of the hotel
...
The White House and State Department have both derided the documents as a glorified lunch menu.
...
The papers included precise times and locations of each meeting, as well as the phone numbers of several administration officials.

Newsmax statement

"The pattern of judicial rulings that consistently denied Newsmax due process left the Company to believe it would not receive a fair trial. Faced with these rulings and other constraints, Newsmax chose to settle."

Newsmax statement translation.

"We'd lose. Unfair!"

Pro-Trump outlet to pay $67 million in voting defamation case: France 24

The settlement of the defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems was announced in a filing by Newsmax on Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under the settlement agreement, Newsmax said it had paid Dominion $27 million on Friday and would pay $20 million in 2026 and the final $20 million in 2027.

Fox News settled a similar defamation lawsuit with Dominion in 2023 for $787.5 million and the Rupert Murdoch-owned television network has also been sued by another voting technology company, Smartmatic.

Dominion filed a defamation suit against Newsmax in 2021 over false claims that its voting technology was used to rig the 2020 election, in which Democrat Joe Biden defeated Republican Donald Trump.

Dominion sought $1.6 billion in damages over baseless allegations aired on Newsmax that the company's software had altered vote counts.

Newsmax settled a defamation suit with Smartmatic for $40 million last year, averting a trial.

Imagine if Biden had had a merchandise shop inside the White House? I bet Republicans would have gone absolutely ballistic...but of course because it's the orange buffoon, it's all good, right? 🙄
