Putin's Secret Strategy at Alaska Summit - Jason Jay Smart
Vladimir Putin meets Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska on August 15. For Putin, a former KGB officer, a summit is a controlled battlefield where perception is the prize. He studies weaknesses, scripts moments, and pushes psychological pressure to shape headlines and tilt leverage. The risk is simple: if the room becomes a stage, Ukraine gets pushed off it. The only defense is clarity about objectives and hard lines on sovereignty. Today’s meeting is not about friendship. It is about power, pressure, and who controls the story when the doors open.
