If it’s going to happen, it will happen now. Make no mistake - this meeting will leave Putin feeling more emboldened and invincible than ever before.

Estonia is the Country that blew the whistle on the GRU a FBS,and it was Richard Steele who caught wind of Putin's game plan.

Syria just fell into Putin's orbit of control,Afghanistan by Xmas. Ukraine within weeks.

No idea if they can or not, but it would be helpful. This meeting in secret is obvious treachery.

Maybe Mueller can subpoena one of the translators.

Putin will have gained status on the international stage,

Trump will pull our troops out of Syria,

Trump will end NATO exercises in the Baltic, and will continue his attacks on the existence of NATO,

Trump will recognize Crimea as a legitimate part of Russia,

All sanctions on Russia will have been lifted,

Putin will be wiping Trump's lip-spit from his ass,

and

Trump will say Putin is a great man and great friend (not of the U.S., but of Donald Trump).

Any bets?

Nothing for the US, but plenty for him.

I suspect that in his meeting with Kim he agreed to end the joint military operations w SK and other sell-outs of the US & our allies in exchange for personal financial deals. He obviously wants to build some of his big ugly Trump hotels on NK's big, beautiful beaches. I suspect other shady real estates deals would provide opportunities for profit and money-laundering operations.

I don't know enough about that kind of thing to be confident in exactly what the deals might be. But I feel pretty damn sure that Trump is using these private meetings to set up personally beneficial deals. He has no loyalty to anyone but himself, so it's nothing to him to sell out the US & our allies.

When the trouble making kid gets sent to the principal's office. I can imagine the tension is going to be so thick you can cut it with a knife.
