President Nixon and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger publicly announce: “We believe that peace is at hand.”
The Summit is over; are we going back to the Cold War is the salient question. You can never underestimate Vlad; he always has a Pawn up his sleave. Like the dealer in ‘three card monte’
you must look behind the rhetoric to reveal the details.
And of course who can forget the game of games, Russian Roulette.
At this stage Russia is losing Big. Vlad knows this. The Russian Street is clamoring for peace; they are greiving as their loved ones come home in boxes. Russia has been outflanked by a smaller foe, extending the Special Military Operation “war” to 3.5 years.
Supplies are running low, Moscow is now at the brink, do they give in or suffer humiliation. We hope Trump indicated to Vlad that more potent weapons to Ukraine are on the way. They will be able to penetrate Russian defenses, thereby causing chaos in the Mother Russia Homeland. Will Vlad blink first?
Putin backs Trump’s claim that the Ukraine war would not have happened if he’d won 2020 election
Putin lamented that bilateral relations prior to Trump fell ‘to the lowest point since the Cold War’
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he agreed with Donald Trump’s claim that the war in Ukraine would not have ever even begun if he had not lost the 2020 election and was serving as president when the carnage began, instead of former President Joe Biden.

“I can confirm that,” Putin said at the tail-end of a press conferece that took place Friday evening after the pair met for a summit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
Trump made the assertion multiple times on the campaign trail, and continued saying it after he took back the White House. Trump has faced pushback on the claim, as well as on claims that Ukraine instigated the war’s inception and the Biden administration failed to do things that could have thwarted it from beginning in the first place.
“I’d like to add one more thing,” Putin said, as the two heads of state provided remarks to the press, according to a translation of the Russian president’s address. “I’d like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with a previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to a point of no return when it would come to hostilities and I said it quite directly back then that it’s a big mistake. Today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then there would be no war – I am quite sure that it would indeed be so. I can confirm that.”
Earlier in his address, Putin lamented that bilateral relations between the U.S. and Russia, prior to Trump, had “fallen to the lowest point since the Cold War,” and highlighted the fact that there have been no summits between the U.S. and Russia over the last four years.
