“… “President Trump was very clear that the American desire was to obtain a cease-fire at this meeting in Alaska,” Macron told reporters after the meeting.
Two other participants told The Wall Street Journal that Trump signaled that the U.S. would be willing to play a role in future security guarantees together with Europe. They said Trump didn’t offer any details….”

Such a strong, tough and decisive leader. Said it would be easy for him to end the war with a phone call.
The Presidential posture dealing with Russia has gone from "tear down this wall!" to "there will have to be landswapping" and "it will be good for everyone".
Give Putin what he wants and then call it a win.

Any breakthrough of the front lines is concerning but if its handled properly there won't be a need to panic. Ukraine will need to move forces around to plug the break.
What's worth noting is if Russia can take advantage of the break. Failure to exploit a break is very telling. Normally, a break would be supported on the flanks to prevent a counterattack cut off of your advance and then a push through the break of your reserves. Its not clear that Russia has any reserves in the area. One report today is that Russia is moving forces from as far away as Sumy to support the break through. Russia is crazy if this is true. That's too far a distance to move forces to support this. Plus, Ukraine will notice and take advantage.
Of course this works both ways. Russia should notice where Ukraine moves its forces from and attack there.
Whatever happens, the next two weeks should be informative as to the true military state of both sides.

It really doesn't matter where the conference takes place. All Vlad "the Ras" Putin needs is a laptop so he can remind St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago of the videos he has of St. Donald. I guess St. Donald believes that if the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing didn't sink him, then maybe he can weather any videos that Vlad "the Ras" releases. I kind of hope St. Donald calls Vlad's bluff and Vlad releases whatever he has. Such videos probably won't sink St. Donald, but a release of what the threat of releasing them made St. Donald do in the past might.

Trump actually kind of is offering Alaska up to Putin
www.telegraph.co.uk
Donald Trump is preparing to offer Vladimir Putin access to rare earth minerals to incentivise him to end the war in Ukraine.
The US president will arrive at the much-anticipated meeting with his Russian counterpart on Friday armed with a number of money-making opportunities for Putin.
They will include opening up Alaska’s natural resources to Moscow and lifting some of the American sanctions on Russia’s aviation industry, The Telegraph can reveal.
Proposals include giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia.
Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, is understood to be among administration figures briefing Mr Trump ahead of his meeting with Putin in Anchorage.
Mr Bessent is exploring the economic trade-offs the US can make with Russia in order to expedite a ceasefire agreement.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Mr Trump said Putin would face “severe consequences” if he did not agree to end the war in Ukraine at their meeting on Friday.

So we went from strong arming Ukraine for their natural resources to Trump giving US resources to Putin to make a deal. You Republicans are fucking stupid, and your leader is a bitch. I bet Putin has been balls deep in Melania while Trump fapped in the corner.Trump actually kind of is offering Alaska up to Putin
