Peace has broken: Trump welcomes Putin in the tarmac at the Elmendorf-Richardson Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska.
The meeting yielded more than initially thought.
After the historic day in Alaska, the mainstream media in unison is chanting that the Donald J. Trump-Vladimir Putin was a flop – but they couldn’t be more wrong.
Anyone paying minimal attention remembers how the Whiter House called the summit a ‘listening exercise’, while the Kremlin warned that no agreement was expected to be signed on this meeting.
So, it’s disingenuous for the warmongering media hacks to point to a lack of deal as ‘evidence of failure’.
Or, as Laura Ingraham and Jack Posobiec put it:
Neocons working overtime trying to say the summit was a ‘failure.’ Ridiculous spin. This is an attempt to derail the peace accords. Could not be more wrong. Peace is a process

After the historic event, in an interview to Fox News, Trump said it is now ‘up to Volodymyr Zelensky’ to make peace with Russia.
The Telegraph reported:
“Asked by Fox News’ Sean Hannity what advice he would give to Mr. Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, Mr. Trump answered: ‘Make the deal… it’s really up to president Zelensky to get it done’.
‘And I would also say the European nations, they have to get involved a little bit, but it’s up to president Zelensky’, he continued, warning his Ukrainian counterpart: ‘Russia’s a very big power’.”
