Trump was outclassed by Putin in Alaska. Let’s hope pricked vanity doesn’t lead to World War Three. From The Wise Wolf at wisewolfmedia.substack.com:
Under no circumstances should you wake a sleeping Russian bear by jabbing it with a sharp stick. That bear might decide to blow up the entire goddamn planet.
Let me be crystal clear from the start: I am not a Democrat. I’m a registered Republican who voted for Trump twice. But watching the events of the past two weeks has filled me with such profound regret and alarm that I’m reconsidering everything about my political allegiance. What I witnessed in Alaska, followed by this reckless weapons sale announcement, has convinced me that Donald Trump is not just bad at politics—he’s dangerously incompetent and actively making the world less safe.
The Alaska Humiliation
Two weeks ago, we all watched Trump meet Putin in Alaska for what was supposed to be breakthrough peace talks. What we got instead was a masterclass in how a real political operator dismantles an amateur. Putin walked away from those talks having given up nothing, while Trump—who flew in demanding a ceasefire—emerged talking about “great progress” and “making headway” with absolutely zero concrete results to show for it.
The body language told the entire story. Trump looked like what he was: a man completely out of his depth, facing off against someone who has survived decades in the most ruthless political environment on Earth.
Putin has held power in Russia through economic collapse, oligarch wars, and international sanctions. He’s a stone-cold operator who has literally had rivals murdered in hotel rooms as just another day at the office. Meanwhile, Trump couldn’t even secure a basic ceasefire agreement.
Putin proposed another meeting—in Moscow. Think about that. The Russian dictator looked at our president and essentially said, “Thanks for flying all the way up here, but if you want to keep talking, you can come to me.” That’s not diplomacy; that’s domination.
They still have the potentially world ending Tsar Bomba and the Dead Hand doomsday defense.
Tsar Bomba is the biggest ever made at 50 megatons and it was tested, treaties were formed after the test.
