A hostile U.S. media is chomping at the bit to begin belittling Vladimir Putin, creating division and making themselves the center of the geopolitical universe. President Trump is not going to like the assembly of global media and narrative engineers who have converged on Anchorage, Alaska for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
President Trump and President Putin are scheduled to hold a joint press conference tonight at the conclusion of their summit. The entire world is watching. The best guess is approximately a 7:00pm ET start time. Livestream Links Below:

RSBN has been the choice news broadcast for all things President Trump in my view but the newscaster here is a bit too Ukraine leaning for my pleasure.
Agree!
Once again good input from treepers
Putin talking about our shared Christian values and being neighbors.
So far, Great.
Ukraine killed 14,000 fellow countryman of Russian heritage. People shrug that off but it is evil. The CIA did a color revolution in Ukraine. Ukraine is filled with nazis, so much so that the US had a law that no aid could go to any nazis.
I see no reason that Ukraine should continue to exist.
Have you noticed ..they(Ukr) did have 2 presidents (2014-2025) with both non Christians faith..to make sure there will be no problems to get $$$$$/arms from seal clapping clowns…and they get it….
It’s easier to get them to send Catholic Christian men to kill their Orthodox Christian neighbors when you install a Jew.
The vast majority of our politicians and foreign policy bureaucrats actively hate Russians.
Most of the GOP media figures are all in Ukraine because they hate Russia.
Oh and the people who pay them are in on the Ukraine money-making grift.
.well dang!
I’ve got newsmax. Not bad
Am kinda hoping this turns into a Trump / Putin rally … * grin *
Seriously though, was planning to go out to eat tonight, but this historic press conference is well worth skipping dinner for!
Speaking of a “Rally”…I have not seen Maquis on any of these Trump/Putin threads….
Yeah, I hope he’s doing all right.
Ditto!
😊 I’m eating mine on the couch. 🤭
I want to see this on the tv. ❤️
Sounds like you made a good choice, Alleycats!
Too bad. The press conference was worthless.
The press conference was quite good. True, there was no YMCA dancing at the end, but I can live without that. * good-natured grin *
🚨 ⚡️ Putin: “So, Trump… you adopted this one?” 🤣
Lol, awesome. I was going to make a meme of Z parachuting into the AFB, but didn’t have time today. This works for me just as nicely.
LOL, thats great!
🚨 ⚡️ FIRST reactions from the Russian delegation as Putin–Trump talks wrap up:
Defense Minister Belousov in a “GREAT MOOD” 😎
Finance Minister Siluanov: “we’ll know everything… later.”
Russia playing it calm, collected, and always one step ahead.
Putin’s envoy Dmitriev Says Talks were “excellent”
Real America’s Voice…
It’s a tough one for the media ….. which of the two “Literally Hitlers” do they root against?
Whatever happened to “No Kings??” Is it “No Fuhrers” now?
A hostile U.S. media is chomping at the bit to begin belittling Vladimir Putin
Yeah, leave the poor man alone! (note that I don’t agree with WHY they are doing so)
Q: Did Putin plunder the public assets of Russia after the fall of t he Soviet Union?
Grok 3 AI:
Yes, Vladimir Putin and his allies are widely believed to have enriched themselves through the control and exploitation of Russia’s public assets following the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. The chaotic privatization of state-owned enterprises during the 1990s, under Boris Yeltsin’s presidency, created opportunities for a small group of insiders, later known as oligarchs, to acquire valuable assets like oil, gas, and mineral companies at bargain prices. Putin, who rose to power in 1999, is accused of consolidating this system, rewarding loyalists with wealth and influence while marginalizing or eliminating rivals.
Evidence includes:
Privatization Schemes: The “loans-for-shares” program in the mid-1990s allowed insiders to buy state assets at low prices. For example, companies like Yukos and Gazprom ended up in the hands of connected elites.
Personal Wealth: Reports, like those from the Panama Papers and investigations by groups like the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), link Putin and associates to offshore accounts and assets worth billions, including palaces and yachts. Estimates of Putin’s personal wealth range from $40 billion to $200 billion, though exact figures are hard to verify.
Cronyism: Key allies, like Igor Sechin (Rosneft) and Alexei Miller (Gazprom), control major state firms, often acting as proxies for Putin’s influence. These firms generate massive revenues, with little transparency.
Suppression of Dissent: Critics like Alexei Navalny, who exposed corruption through groups like the Anti-Corruption Foundation, faced imprisonment or death, suggesting efforts to conceal systemic plundering.
However, some argue this narrative oversimplifies things. They claim Putin restored order after the chaotic 1990s, curbing the power of Yeltsin-era oligarchs like Boris Berezovsky and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and that state control over key industries benefits Russia’s stability. Yet, the concentration of wealth and power among Putin’s inner circle, coupled with Russia’s high corruption rankings (e.g., Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index), undermines this defense.
Q: How many people have been murdered for their opposition to Putin?
There is no definitive, universally agreed-upon number of people murdered specifically for opposing Vladimir Putin, as many cases involve suspicious circumstances, lack conclusive evidence, or are disputed by Russian authorities. However, based on available reports, more than 20 prominent critics of Putin have been killed or died under mysterious circumstances since he came to power in 1999 [I don’t include the list with specifics given – W]. This figure includes opposition politicians, journalists, human rights activists, and defectors, with causes of death ranging from poisonings and shootings to plane crashes and falls from windows. Notable cases include Alexei Navalny (2024), Boris Nemtsov (2015), Anna Politkovskaya (2006), Alexander Litvinenko (2006), and Sergei Magnitsky (2009). Many others have survived assassination attempts or faced imprisonment and exile.
The exact number is likely higher, as some deaths may go unreported or lack clear evidence linking them to political opposition. Russian authorities consistently deny involvement, and investigations often remain inconclusive. Due to the lack of transparency and the complexity of verifying each case, a precise count is impossible to confirm.
All that blather just raised your electric bill by $2.
LOL, that’s why I love this place. Such OPEN minds.
BTW, nothing was revealed other than, “great progress was made.”
I’ll ask Grok for a summary.
It will cost you another $2.
Why don’t you connect the dots yourself, and save the money?
No, it didn’t even cost me a few cents.
However, I am SERIOUSLY concerned about my carbon footprint… LOL!
The best estimate for an average Grok 3 query is roughly 0.01–0.3 Wh, acknowledging significant uncertainty due to query variability and lack of specific metrics.
With the electrical rate in Memphis, TN where Grok is located being approximately 9.89¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh) [thanks generic AI aka DDG Search Assist] that gives us $0.00989 per Wh. $0.00989/Wh * 0.3Wh = $0.002967 which rounds off to:
0.3 cents, paid for by the owner of the xAI system which is Grok and who is Elon Musk…
However:
Questions and interactions with Grok can help train and improve the AI by refining its understanding of language and communication. User inputs are used to enhance Grok’s ability to provide accurate and engaging responses.
So, he got his 0.3 cents worth.
Grok 3 AI (excerpts from answer):
The press conference held by U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, followed their high-stakes summit focused on the Russia-Ukraine war. Here are the key points from the press conference and related summit updates, based on available information:
– Key Statements:
– Trump’s Remarks: Trump emphasized the meeting as a “feel-out” session to understand Putin’s position, expressing optimism about future talks that could include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He reiterated that Ukraine would need to decide on territorial concessions, stating, “I’ve got to let Ukraine make that decision, and I think they’ll make a proper decision.” Trump also warned of “very severe consequences” for Russia if no progress was made toward ending the war, though he did not specify what those consequences would entail. [How many times has he made that same threat now? – W] He mentioned a 25% chance of the summit failing but expressed hope for a follow-up meeting with Zelenskyy.
– Putin’s Position: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking on behalf of Russia, stated that Moscow would assert a “clear, understandable position” during the talks. Putin expressed interest in a comprehensive deal rather than a temporary ceasefire, aligning with Russia’s demands for Ukraine to cede territory [I’m sure Zelenskyy will just love that! – W] and abandon NATO membership ambitions. Putin also floated the idea of a nuclear arms control agreement to improve U.S.-Russia ties.
– Outcomes and Expectations: No concrete agreements or signed documents were reported from the summit or press conference, with the Kremlin downplaying expectations for breakthroughs. The talks included a one-on-one session, followed by a three-on-three meeting with aides, and concluded with a working breakfast. Discussions reportedly covered territorial swaps, with Trump suggesting Ukraine might need to concede land, a proposal Zelenskyy has firmly rejected. Putin’s delegation signaled interest in economic cooperation, possibly including U.S. investments, to ease Western sanctions.
So, basically a nice photo op, a talk about future talks.
The Bolsheviks in the United States loved the Soviet Union and the Communists but hate Czarist Orthodox Christian Russia.
Yep, they didn’t care about the Americans who went there for Ford auto plant jobs and wound up being trapped for years and years . . . they didn’t care about the horrible Trials of Soviet citizens that the Pulitzer Prize-winning NY Times Moscow bureau chief failed to cover . . .
they seemed to understand why the Soviet Union was perfectly justified about the alarming placement of missiles in Turkey pointed at Russia, necessitating the response of placing missiles in Cuba . . .
I could go on!
Is there a point to your diatribe? Seems like you’d rather have these peace negotiations blow up by a rabid & unprofessional media? Their job is to report not intervene & try to embarrass.
He is more Winston Smith than Winston Churchill.
He should start his own blog.
Wasn’t Grok invented and operated by an oligarch, Elon Musk?
I’m glad you chose to consult the beast system for your information.
Ai, almost as reliable as wikipedia.
I hope this not copy right material, you copied and pasted heere
This was an historic meeting between these two world leaders. Regardless of what if any agreement PDT & Putin was made, the EU, globalists and the Ukrainian actor puppet will start holding their collective breaths and turning blue because they were not consulted 1st. Reasonably sure the MSM negative talking points have already been written. The NATO leaches have already decided nothing between the US and Russia is workable.
Watching RSBN now. It’s always fun to watch the jackals before the presser starts.
Every one of them looks like they want to smack somebody. Kaitlin Collins’ unibrow looks like a letter V.
Lol….her and Peter Alexander shouting rude q like jackals….so glad Trump/ appointment walked away and took no q👍👏
Well let’s see how embarrassing our American media is gonna be?
Odds are they are going to suck the oxygen out of the room & behave like infants!
As Sundance stated they are going to make themselves the center of story.
Access Denied! 🙂
One has to have a conscience to be embarrassed; pretty sure our American media isn’t in that group. They will simply continue to recite their given narrative.
They incapable of having guilt or shame, really all they know is to be parrots w/some drama thrown in.
If I were the President, some off that hyena press gaggle that flew there on Air Force One would be finding alternative travel home.
PRAYING For POTUS and His Team.
Is General Keen a natural born liar or did he have to a study hard?
Keen has always been a blow hard & is typically confidently wrong!
” confidently wrong!”
It’s his signature move.
Nice to see Trump garbed in red, white and blue for this historic meeting!
President Putin speaking first.
“Good afternoon dear neighbor”…
🙏❤️😊
It was a nice start; will be listening to these remarks by both men more than a few times; pretty sure the nuances are legion, so trying to learn the ‘tells’ as the gamblers say.
“We need to remove the primary causes of this conflict”..
I guess I didn’t realize the Radcliffe was there…that sends a message about getting to root causes…
Doesn’t it?
“Russia and the US can offer each other so much”.
pres Putin is saying “our agreements today”
They should have canceled the press conference, and let the jackals hang.
Agreed. Do their own press release and be done w/it. I despise the media.
Cancelling Q&A is just as good.
Putin’s speaking style is much faster than President Trump’s.
When he said the two countries are only four kilometers apart I remembered Tina Fey caused a lot of mockery when she said she could see Russia – while impersonating Sarah Palin. Four kilometers is not that far.
PP: “we are close neighbors….”
epiphany on the BBBSB (Big Beautiful Bering Strait Bridge):
it is about a physical bridge,
but more so, it is a powerful symbol of a joining of our nations.
😊
Palin will have the last laugh!
2.5 miles
This is very very positive , and mentioning 2022, ha ah ah
Next time in Moscow,
NEXT TIME IN MOSCOW!
😁
and he said it in English for the whole world to hear!
🎆
Good, I’m glad they didn’t take any questions.
Me Too. The press is so embarrassing
The Russia hoax “made it harder for us to deal with things” President Trump said exactly what we’ve concluded.
Whoa! No questions! 😮🤔
Yeah Baby!
I imagine after the media scrum earlier, it was decided to forego any. If they had behaved, they could have had their opportunity for questions. But they didn’t. Daddy said “No!” and its his house.
Can’t blame President Trump for that.
I think it was a wise move to keep the occasion civil and focused.
It wouldn’t have been appropriate – all questions would have demanded details, which they’re not ready to release. Despite the fact the little twerp is just that, its appropriate PDJT speak with him first.
They are thugs, KS.
President Trump taught them a lesson their parents did not…
One does not reward bad behaviour.
Maybe they’ll learn from this…
(Who am I kidding 😎)
It would be folly to take and answer questions. It would be giving ammunition to the opposition, aka ZEL and the EU.
No questions for the jackals. 🤣🤣🤣
Jackals: 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Yes! Don’t give the hostile press any opportunity to spin! Great move!
That was classic!
Never ever forget that all press are the scum of the earth!!
I think President Trump and George Washington are about equal Presidents .Trump is gonna go down as the greatest president in modern times. He’s a patriot. He lifts his country and he loves the American people. God bless President Trump.
I’d take it a step further. VSGPDJT loves Humanity.
Lots of primping to be purdy for Vlad.
Taking no questions and no use of the word ceasefire.
Sigh 🙄
Ceasefire is the wrong word. A ceasefire will only give midget Z and his Eurocommie cronies time to regroup and rearm. Putin will not accept a ceasefire. He wants a full and final peace agreement that satisfies all his demands. He and his country deserve an agreement like that, and I hope they get one. And I hope it makes the Deep State parasites suffer.
Sounds like the ceasefire may potentially happen in the near future. 🙏
The press is going bonkers. No details.
lol
No problem, they’ll just make them up as usual.
Left without taking any questions.
I bet President Putin saw that pack of insolent jackals earlier and told President Trump that he wouldn’t give them the time of day.
hahahaha the presstitutes dont get to attack with stoopid statements
The only thing the presstitutes can do now is wring their hands and frown while engaging one another with wildly disgruntled speculations.
Hah hah!
Well what is the MIC going to do if they don’t have Russia as an excuse to steal our tax $ to line their pockets anymore?
we bankrupt them with class action lawsuits to take their assets!
Great idea! So many decades of stealing and millions of dead and wounded patriots just to satisfy the greedy monsters pulling the strings. Only problem is that we need to be able to defend ourselves as needed, human nature being what it is.
Thank God for Donald Trump.
Start a war somewhere else…
I love it…no questions. 😆😆
Bannon featured John Solomon for his broadcast coverage of the meeting. Talk about stuck on stupid…
It’s the RAV connection. Cross promotion is typical.
That was a very encouraging after-summit press conference, even without any facts provide, which indicates real work is about to commence behind the scenes.
That President Putin referenced his hope the EU nations won’t try to throw road blocks in the way of what he and President Trump and both men’s teams came up with and that President Trump likewise said he is off to begin making the needed phone calls –
it is the fact there was no question-answer period for the news media that gives hope there is some serious work underway.
Heard that EU reference as well. Both men know who stands in the way of peace.
Both Presidents Trump and Putin have made it clear that they fully understand the true barriers to lasting peace, exist outside of the direct conflict.
And it looks like they have a good working relationship as well as an understanding of the situation, this bodes well for peace.
Oooh I’m so pissed at my crappy rural Internet connection right now
Trump administration working to fix your problem.

Bich slapped the press….hahahahah
Watched the news conference on FOX and afterwards Jacqui Heinrich WH correspondent proceeded to lie through her teeth and give such a false take on the whole thing that I was forced to turn it off. Wow
I did the same thing. Can’t stand her.
Yeah, Fox sucks honestly.
It was remarkable, unbelievable. She’s just a piss ant – yet somehow was able to set a narrative. Outrageous.
Agree! Fox’s JH reminded me of why I have rarely watched FOX since their coverage of the election steal in 2020.
I can’t begin to fathom the level of brainrot it takes to root against peace, your President, and your own country.
she was full propaganda to the hilt, looking for anything negative to spin on. like all of these professional liars
She wouldn’t shut up – despite saying basically nothing.
Too funny
Fox News is spinning
-as if Putin bullied his way to speak first
AND in Russian! 😱
spot on, friggin Brett Baier what a tool
The poor dimwit fox blonde in Alaska said they (reporters) had to scramble for their head phones
-because Putin spoke out of turn
-and in Russian.
Ya know…,
the President of the host country
is supposed to speak first!!!! 😂😂😂
He is an idiot of the first order.
Everyone could see what happened. Trump gave Putin the right of way.
As would any gracious host.
Yes; its called being polite, letting your guest go first.
Just who is that little blonde to say what protocol is – she’s barely articulate and looks like she has little life experience. She had no business even being there and setting the narrative.
Indeed. I wonder what Peter Doucey would have said?
Yes, a most gracious Man and OUR President.
👍🏼
It is customary and gentlemanly to allow the guest to speak first.
The jackals know this.
They’re just mad as hell they were denied the opportunities they primped all day for.
Anyone still have those pictures of Bicycle Barry and Horseman Vlad?
Interesting flat ending.
Let’s see if there is a major announcement after their lunch and PDJT’ call across the pond?
Any journalists hanging around may get a scoop worthy for history.
Maybe that’s why they didn’t take questions. No lunch, so everyone is hungry 🤔
“Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, they shall have their fill.”
Interesting – on Steve Lookner’s Agenda Free TV, he just mentioned there was supposed to have been a luncheon meeting during this summit, where others such as Sec. Def. Hegseth were to join the luncheon, and Steve said there was no luncheon, the parties of the summit simply stayed at it the whole time.
Whether they break for food before the Russians depart Alaska, maybe that will happen. Details, details, looking forward to details.
The Russians typically bring their own caterers and food to these sorts of events. I imagine they will eat on the plane.
(And no, poison isn’t the main reason.)
Or they are having lunch now.
If any of the Russians are observant Orthodox Christians, then their food will be suitable for the Dormition Fast that started yesterday.
This is being played close to the vest, in real time.
So the warmongers can’t derail it in real time.
Old school diplomacy. I like it.
PDJT will tell us when the deal is done.
Let’s face it. The press, the Intel community the EU and NATO don’t want peace.
President Trump and President Putin are holding their cards close to the vest. The less info they reveal the less will be attacked and torn to shreds by hostile globalist forces.
To say the world is hostile to any rapprochement between the US and Russia is to understate the obvious.
Good summary of the situation
I thought this was an excellent way to end it. President Putin gave any excellent speech, President Trump nailed the Russia! Russia! Russia! Hoax for the world to hear and it put a smile on Putin’s face.
No questions from the screaming press was excellent.
No comments on any agreements was perfect from the Master Dealmaker.
I thought this was absolutely perfect.
BUT, we now have the evil neocons-EU-NATO-Zman element who will be harder to deal with than Putin.
Let’s see if the Master Dealmaker can win that hand.
I think President Trump should go to Moscow. Why not. President Trump came to USA. But Zman won’t go to there. It is in the best interest of USA to mend the Russia relationship.
The Master Dealmaker is going to have to figure out this conundrum. He gets paid the big bucks. Oh, that’s right. He doesn’t get paid.
“A hostile U.S. media is chomping at the bit to begin belittling Vladimir Putin”
As opposed to a lickspittle Russian media that would not dare to belittle Vladimir Putin.
Forced to make a choose between America’s media (with our Bill of Rights First Amendment) and Russian media, I would choose the former, thank you.
Because America’s media is so completely professional and objective in their reporting, amiright? Russian media actually is professional, and not a bunch of Barbie and Ken dolls spewing commie rhetoric 24/7. If you think the American media gives the slightest damn about the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech, then you’ve been asleep for many, many years. Defending the American media is an errand for the worst of fools.
I don’t think anyone would disagree about freedom of speech & freedom of the press. Problem is these are not synonymous. Our press has no accountability for the falsehoods they report & can & have done irreparable damage with their lazy, & at times, intentionally malicious reporting. Therefore the best thing to do at times is just remove them from the equation, which was done today. There’s too much at stake to have them sabotage these sensitive negotiations.
The is a reason I said forced.
Gotcha
