RE: Alaska next Friday. Trump meeting Puti10 Aug 2025 09:23
I still don't really believe in this meeting. Trump is a showman and a “great deal maker,” or so he thinks. What kind of deal will he strike at these talks? A former KGB agent with a criminal past outmaneuvered two New York real estate dealers (Trump and Vitkov) and they agreed to the meeting. There will be no result. Yes, this meeting is very important for Putin, an opportunity to break out of isolation and also demonstrate to his new master, China, that we can talk to the US. Putin's anti-rating is 70% in the US. Putin usually signs agreements that have already been agreed upon and are ready for signing, so what will they agree on? One possible reason for the meeting is to discuss business projects that Putin, through Vitkov, has proposed to Trump's entourage. This is Putin's usual way of bribing the Western elite, nothing new. Due to Vitkov's lack of diplomatic experience, he confused what Putin had proposed to him at the meeting and told Trump something that Putin had not proposed. Three days later, Vitkov ( a useful idiot in Trump's circle)confirmed that he had misunderstood Putin's proposal.
