According to WaPo, the federal troops aren't really doing anything in DC, just acting as support for the local police: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/08/11/trump-dc-fbi-national-guard-deployment/ This is just coming off as yet another intimidation stunt that will fail like it did in LA. --- "2001 called, it wants it's message board signature back....." - aarrgus ...

So I sometimes check Trump's Truth Social profile as a way of getting original source news. A while back, they started requiring you to make an account to view profiles, including Trump's. I wasn't going to make an account for that, and it seems others felt the same way because it is now accessible without an account again - but with a lot of ads for things like pillows from MyPillow and Ivermectin. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

So, I know the Telegraph is considered a right-wing rag but this story has been picked up by Fox, Newsweek, and some others and it does make a certain sort of sense that right wing outlets would have deeper access to this sorta stuff. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/08/13/trump-to-present-minerals-deal-to-putin-in-alaska In Trump's meeting with Putin tomorrow about Ukraine he's reportedly willing to offer Putin: rare earth minerals from Ukraine, mineral rights in Alaska, and using the West Bank as a model for how to handle the governance of the Russian-occupied Ukraine. I wasn't totally aware that you could surrender in a war where you were not invaded, but apparently you can! Art of the Deal! The Telegraph reports... As well as lifting sanctions, The Telegraph can now reveal that the US is preparing to offer Putin other financial incentives to end the war, including access to rare earth minerals in the areas of Ukraine currently occupied by Russia Mr. Trump is also considering offering Russia opportunities to tap into the valuable natural resources in the strait that separates it from the US. Alaska, separated from Russia by just three miles of the Bering Strait, is estimated to hold significant undiscovered oil and gas reserves, including 13 per cent of the world's oil. Israel's occupation of the West Bank could be used as a model for ending the war. Russia would have military and economic control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, similar to Israel's de facto rule of Palestinian territory. --- May you find your book in this place.

Oh, this would absolutely be dead on arrival for Ukraine (who is not represented at Trump's meeting with Putin, nor is Europe) but the danger would be if Putin accepts (and I think the smart thing would be to do so if these are the terms - when the fuck else are you getting an in to Alaska? Just take a few years to rebuild and restock before invading again like with Crimea) you absolutely know that Trump will immediately turn on Ukraine and do everything in his power to browbeat them into taking it - cutting off all support/aid, etc. It'd be up to Europe to keep Ukraine supplied. --- May you find your book in this place.

Russia has been making significant advances on the battlefield this week. If no other country is willing to put boots on the ground to help, it's hard for Ukraine to refuse any deal Trump makes, because it's difficult for them to win the war without American support. As for Trump, he is highly skilled at deciding to change course when he believes the current course will not lead anywhere good. This is not a common skill, especially among politicians, who are usually driven by inertia. The current course of events is incredibly destructive for both Ukraine and Russia, and therefore both countries should be very interested in peace. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
