If we give Alaska back to Russia, it would help in flipping the senate back to Democrats. Maybe we hold onto a few key natural resource spots and say dasvidaniya to the rest of the state.

Could we give Texas back to Mexico, as well ? Then we could keep our focus on buying Greenland and making Greenland and Canada our 49th and 50th states

That was so weak it was actually cringy. I'm embarrassed for you.

Your cringe means nothing. We've seen what makes your cheer.

Now Trump and Medvedev are trading threats? Interesting. Perhaps there is much more going on between Trump and Russia then Ukraine. Well, Mob Wars do naturally happen.

Mob wars don’t usually work out well for innocent bystanders.

Medvedev is the former president of Russia and more or less Putin’s resident shit-poster.

The lack of respect for Donald J. Trump is astounding. Except it isn’t.

“…
The creation of the new account marks the first tangible step in making Trump’s vow to have North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies pay for U.S. weapons for Ukraine a reality. Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutteannounced the deal last month but didn’t provide details.

“We’ve made a deal today where we are going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them,” Trump said, sitting next to Rutte in the Oval Office in July. “We’re not buying it, but we will manufacture it, and they’re going to be paying for it.”

…
The idea is for NATO allies to voluntarily donate funds into the new account, the three people said. The Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, will be responsible for vetting Ukraine’s weapons requirements. The money in the account will be used to pay for American-made or supplied weapons sent to Kyiv after Ukraine’s battlefield demands are balanced against the U.S. military’s needs.

Ukraine’s supporters aim to initially spend a total of $10 billion on weapons for Ukraine, one of the people said, most of which are expected to come from U.S. defense industry production lines. …”

Shadow theater so Trump can pretend (or be duped) that Putin is now re-engaging in peace talks?

I wonder just how profitable the football program is today and going forward?

Kenan is only so big and the ACC pay-out isn’t huge.

Tough talk for a russian agent

“… Steve Witkoff is due back in Russia this week for talks with the Kremlin leader. We don't know what kind of an offer he may bring with him. But some commentators in Moscow predict there will be more carrot than stick. It did not go unnoticed that on Sunday President Trump said Russia "seem to be pretty good at avoiding sanctions".

On Monday, Ivan Loshkarev, associate professor of political theory at MGIMO University, Moscow, told Izvestia that to facilitate dialogue, Mr Witkoff may present "advantageous offers of cooperation [to Russia] that would open up after a deal on Ukraine".

Might that be enough to persuade the Kremlin to make peace after three-and-a-half years of war?

There's no guarantee.

After all, so far in Ukraine Vladimir Putin hasn't budged from his maximalist demands on territory, Ukraine's neutrality and the future size of the Ukrainian army.

Donald Trump wants a deal. Vladimir Putin wants victory.“

If Trump views this as a genuine good faith gesture, well … good on you Team Putin for taking advantage of your gullible adversary, I guess.
