THE ART OF STRATEGIC FLATTERY

I'll be live on RT in a few minutes - on post-Alaska.

Alaska: Nothing burger.  The lunch between the U.S. and Russian delegations has been canceled. Trump is returning to Washington.  Pepe Escobar:  "Next time...in Moscow". Putin invites Trump. In English. And that was the end of the non-presser presser. No breakthrough - of course. But at least after 150 minutes, they agree to keep talking. Looks like Trump is finally starting to get the picture."

Putin:  ‘Today’s agreements will help us RESTART pragmatic relations’.  Putin thanks Trump for his ‘friendly’ tone and ‘results-oriented’ approach.  He says this may ‘start us on the path towards a resolution in Ukraine’.  After his meeting with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin laid flowers at the graves of Soviet pilots in Alaska. He also met with the Archbishop Alexey, of the Orthodox Church in America Diocese of Alaska

'Russia has given us what’s most precious of all — the Orthodox faith,' Archbishop tells Putin https://globalsouth.co/2025/08/13/daily-chronicles-137/
