THE VIEW FROM HERE - After the Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska, only two questions remain:
(1) Did Trump wear out his knee pads?
(2) Did Putin make Trump bark like a dog?
For Good Reason, Putin Detests Donald Trump
From 1975 to 1991, Putin served in the KGB, which includes military training, and he achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel as an intelligence officer. Trump used his daddy’s influence to evade the US draft due to alleged bone spurs. Putin is a notoriously hard worker who masters the details of any subject which interests him. Trump, on the other hand, is extremely lazy and refuses to even read his intelligence briefings. More importantly, Trump suffers from Adult Spoiled Brat Syndrome which is a combination of Histrionic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder with paranoid features. Putin’s diagnosis is deferred as he is from a different culture.
In 1986, Soviet Ambassador to the US, Yuri Dubinin, invited Trump to visit to the Soviet Union. In July 1987, Trump had his first KGB trip to Russia. The KGB’s purpose was to groom Trump as a possible Soviet asset. Any invited guest was constantly taped and videoed by the KGB. Trump’s suit was in a KGB hotel directly across from the Kremlin. The Soviets said they wanted Trump to build hotels in Moscow and Leningrad. While Trump is a compulsive liar, the KGB who are masters to obtaining information had gathered a treasure trove of data from Trump. The KGB would not take Trump’s word for anything, but investigate every boast. Comparing facts with reality is one way to assess a person’s personality and what kind of asset would be. While the KGB may not use the DSM to catalog mental disorders, there is no doubt that they observed the same mental deficiencies which comprise Trump’s Spoiled Brat System , e.g., self-centered, easily influenced by flattery, non-analytical, lazy with poor grasp of facts, believes that he has close relationships with people when they detest him, he must always be center of attention, has narcissistic rages when contradicted, a cheat who takes advantage of whomever he can, a financial fool who was prone to bankruptcies and hence is in need of money. Trump is a sexually immature and indiscrete predator, making it easy for the KGB to get lots of sex videos of Trump. Through the discussions of his building hotels, the KGB learned who was who in Trump’s business orbit which made it easy to obtain copies of Trump’s tax returns. As we learned with the collapse of Arthur Anderson, CPA, during the 2001 Enron scandal, America’s financial institutions are not secure. For a very detailed account of Trump and his time Russia, see The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow Politico Magazine, Trump would be the quintessential Useful Idiot, while Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House and major forced behind the polarization Woke DEI, and Senate Majority Leader, Sen. John Thune, are prime candidates for being intentional pro-Russia agents, if such are in the US government. Trump’s psycho-sexual pathology, however, is deeper and more impervious to amelioration than people will admit. See Trump’s Pathological Relationship with Putin
What Transpired During the Putin Trump Meeting
While one may be shocked at how horrible the meeting turned out, one should not be surprised. By observation people’s behaviors and by parsing the post meeting podium statements, we may construct a good idea what happened during the Alaska meeting.
Putin dominated the conversation and gave his history lecture of Ukraine, explaining that it must revert to Russia’s control, while hinting at a parallel with Alaska. One way we know that Putin did the talking and Trump was relegated to “Yes Sir” and “How high should I jump?” is their demeanor afterwards. Putin was ebullient and Trump was crest fallen. Both men love to talk; the more they talk, the more energized they become. Scrutinize Putin’s body language; he was close to giddy. Trump, however, could barely drag himself to his podium. Putin seized command, opening and dominating the press conference; à la Soviet style, Putin allowed no questions.
Some of Putin’s Dictates to Trump
Putin takes all of Donbas. Putin returns none of the Ukrainian children. The US will supply no more weapons to Zelenskyy. Since Putin does not recognize Ukraine as a nation separate from mother Russia, the other European nations, individually and collectively as NATO, should butt out of Russia’s business. Putin calls Ukraine a “brotherly nation,” which within the context of the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), “brotherly nation” means part of the Soviet empire similar to how New York means of the USA (United States of America). Putin says Trump agrees. For Putin, “Security of Ukraine” means that European nations “won’t throw a wrench in the works. They will not make any attempts to use some backroom dealings to conduct provocations to torpedo the nascent progress.” From Putin’s carefully worded remarks, it is clear that Putin’s script was written before he reached Alaska, and that Trump during the meeting Trump agreed to Putin’s version of the conflict, i.e., Russia’s legitimate right keep Ukraine as part of Russia. Trump, as usual, just winged it. See Podium Transcript
Earlier in the week while in America, Trump had been threatening Putin with serious repercussions including secondary sanctions on nations who purchased Russian oil unless Putin agreed to a cease fire. From the podium, Putin announced the opposite, two wit, a new world order, saying “It is clear that the U.S. and Russian investment and business cooperation has tremendous potential. Russia and the U.S. can offer each other so much in trade, digital, high tech and in space exploration.” Interestingly, Putin envisions no tariffs in Russia’s new role as a major US trading partner.
Russia’s GNP ($2.1T) is 10th in the world behind Canada’s GNP ($2.2T). Russia’s population is 143,997,393, while Canada’s is only 40,126,723 ppl. With 28% percent number people of Russia, Canada has a higher GNP – over 3.5 times higher. Russia per capita income is $14,250, while Canada’s per capita income is $54,040.
Trump Is Afraid of Russia, Which Is Economically as a Pipsqueak Nation
Prior to Trump’s taking office, Europe and the US froze between $200 and $330 billion of Russian dollars which they can turn over to Ukraine. Trump, however, has suspended military, which the US approved during the Biden Administration. Trump has been actively supporting Putin, except for occasional bluster which is full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.
The Putin-Trump Meeting Was a Horrendous Humiliation for Trump
Not only did Trump obtain nothing, but Putin reduced Trump to a mere messenger boy, dispatching him to scurry off to tell Zelenskyy to surrender and Europe to mind its own business.
