... U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska this week, an important location chosen for its neutrality and safety for the Russian leader.

The significance of the venue is underscored by Putin's concern regarding an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged war crimes linked to Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. The ICC's 2023 warrant centers on accusations that Putin ordered the transfer of hundreds of children from occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia.

Entering any of the ICC's 125 member countries could lead to his arrest. However, since the United States does not recognize the court's authority, it stands as a safe option for Putin.

Location reminds me of those classic horror movies set in snowbound lab locations where something has gone terribly wrong and the characters there are killed off one at a time..... hey, I can dream, can't I?

Or perhaps the 10 hour flight will allow Zelenskyy to personally fly a missile into Vlad's Lolita Jet?

I'd be happy either way.

Heard a Russian dissident (Inside Russia) saying, a couple of times, that is was very odd that Vlad would take that long flight, especially when Coup Rumors are circulating in Moscow.

Trump is like a Prestige Pony to him among other Authoritarians that would also like to ride him.

"especially when Coup Rumors are circulating in Moscow."

That's how Khrushchev got the ax after President Kennedy forced the Russian ships to turn tail during the Cuban missile standoff.

The Kremlin waited a couple years until Khrushchev was out of town. When they called him back home, he wasn't President of Russia any more.

He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
