The upshot of the meeting was held on the grounds of the military base on the north side of downtown Anchorage. It was locally telecast and as of this moment 3:42 PM locally both country's airplanes are still on the field. Putin made the first remarks, goinng into the well worn historical linkages between the United States and Russia mentioning the material support rendered by Russian and American aviators during WW. To me he sounded like the kid in class giving a book report over a book he hasn't read but mentioning all the publishing details that don't matter. Following Putin, TRMP gave the kind of remarks a teacher makes after a student who hasn't done the work but whose father owns the venue of the PTA. As his remarks seemed to close the joint remarks, Putin made a sally that a next meeting should take place in Russia. TRMP appeared to be surprised at the remark. Neither of the standees took questions. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski had already been videoed with the opinion that no hard decisions would be announceed. She seems to have called the shots realistically.
There was a pro-Ukraine rally being held at the Park Strip downtown. A little further away the locl Republicans had a TRMP rally. It was a lot less impressive. Putin just went up the steps to the 4 engine Russian jet. He appears to have spent his first four hours on Alaska soil.
Alaska's other Senator, Dan Sullivan, is live on TV now reporting on Alaska's newest icebreker, which is hopefully fitted out.
There will be an entirely new Ukraine support rally at 5:30 local time.
Now TRMP is getting back on AirForceOne. Hasta La Vista and Dos Vidaniya
