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’.”
