🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Trump Rules Out Zelenskyy Attending Meeting With Putin in Alaska

US President Donald Trump has said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not attend his talks with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, scheduled for 15 August in Alaska.

Asked whether Zelenskyy was invited to the talks in Alaska on Friday, Trump replied:

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Significant region: what is Alaska, where Putin and Trump are to meet, famous for?

🔵 Historical Importance of Alaska

● Alaska has served as a link between the Russian Federation and the USA since the 19th century;
● It was discovered by Russian navigators in the 18th century;
● In 1867, it was sold to the USA for 7.2 million dollars, which would be the equivalent of 150 million dollars today.

🔵 Geographic Location

● The distance between Alaska and Chukotka is less than 100 kilometres;
● The Diomede Islands are only about 4 kilometres apart, but they are separated by almost a day due to the difference in time zones.

🔵 Alaska's Role in the 20th Century

● At the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, huge reserves of gold, oil and hydrocarbons were discovered in Alaska;
● During World War II, aircraft were transported via Fairbanks to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease;
● In 2006, a monument to pilots was unveiled in the city centre: two pilots, one Soviet and one American, and several plaques with flight maps and military aviation programmes.

🔵 Current Situation

● Today, Alaska has a population of just over 700,000;
● There are several large Russian communities, mainly descendants of Old Believers;
● Alaska has the highest percentage of Orthodox Christians in the United States – about 12.5 per cent.

🔵 Putin & Trump Meeting

● Alaska is once again becoming a significant region in the context of relations between Russia and the United States, as it is set to host a new meeting between the two countries' presidents, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Omniwar Update: DARPA’s Theory of Mind Warfare

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has an initiative called the Theory of Mind program. This effort is designed to give national security decision-makers the ability to model, simulate, and ultimately anticipate the intentions and behaviors of adversaries using a combination of advanced algorithms and human expertise.

#Palantir dominates intelligence with a virtual monopoly and now the government is leveling the weapons at Americans – in fact, starting with the Great Panic of 2020. This is the “Science of Social Engineering” that Technocracy first defined in 1934: the founders of Palantir are arch-Technocrats. The Dept. of Defense is currently spending over $1.3 billion on Palantir products.

🇺🇦 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 At Least 10 Foreign Recruits Killed, & 100+ Injured by a Russian Strike on a Ukrainian Armed Forces Training Camp Near Kropyvnytskyi

12 mercenaries from the United States, Colombia, Taiwan, Denmark, and other countries were killed as a result of a strike on a Ukrainian Armed Forces training ground near the city of Kropyvnytskyi, the NYT reports.

The incident occurred on July 21, 2025, when a Ukrainian training camp/training center near Kropyvnytskyi came under fire by a Russian missile strike resulting in the deaths of at least ten foreign recruits and injuries to over a hundred others.

● The attack targeted a dining hall during lunch, marking one of the deadliest incidents involving foreign volunteers in the ongoing conflict.

● A mercenary from Florida told the newspaper that

“the explosion was the loudest he had ever heard.”

After the attack, he saw at least 15 dead and more than 100 wounded.

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/world/europe/foreign-soldiers-ukraine-russia-missile-attack.html

STEVE'S TAKE: I'm only sharing a New York Times article because it's the original sourced article, and because it seems like both Russia and Ukraine are confirming this incident.

Russia posted about it today on its Donbass News Telegram channel, and as the NYT article mentions,

"The Ukrainian Army, which only occasionally acknowledges missile strikes on military sites, confirmed that the attack had killed and wounded soldiers but declined to disclose details."

Bumped into a young man parroting his favorite woke right influencers—no questions asked.

Now he wants to bomb Israel because they convinced (brainwashed) him to think Jews are behind all his failures.

Shocking how he’s just as brainwashed, deluded, & allergic to personal responsibility as the woke left he claims to despise.
