Edition No221 | 12-08-2025 - Someone should tell Trump that Alaska Is Not Russia. Not anymore. This episode is about dictators challenging borders and annulling the concept of sovereignty and universal human rights, in a world of rapid geopolitical devolution, to a far more barbaric age.“I’m going to Russia on Friday.” Said Trump at a D.C. presser on crime, days before his Alaska summit. He made this mistake twice in the same day, in fact. Alaska: is the last frontier—also a U.S. state since 1959, despite today’s vibes from the White House briefing room. That slip isn’t just a meme; it’s a metaphor for the successful manipulation of Trump by Putin, of the Trump regime, and US foreign policy. In respect of Ukraine, I do not think we can consider that the US is making sovereign decisions anymore, as narratives, policies and actions are clearly aligned with the Kremlin’s interests, no matter how false, evil and illegal they are. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.ft.com/content/a7012224-a9bf-482b-8595-614a7484a059https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0e99yqv332ohttps://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-putin-trump-meeting-alaska-summit-zelenskyy-russia-nato-missiles-talks-ceasefire-12541713https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/aug/12/europe-live-ukraine-russia-putin-trump-viktor-orban-latest-updateshttps://www.politico.eu/article/eu-leaders-pressure-trump-ahead-of-his-talks-with-putin-on-ending-ukraine-war/https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2025/08/12/trump-does-not-want-zelensky-to-attend-his-alaska-meeting-with-putin_6744287_4.htmlhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/12/putin-wants-a-photo-op-with-trump-says-eu-foreign-policy-chief.htmlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyrlvwx9rgohttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-putin-meeting-russia-alaska-ukraine-war-b2805880.htmlhttps://www.ft.com/content/f1774ade-72c4-44b0-aad8-2692db1ccea0----------TRUCK FUNDRAISER - GET A SILICON CURTAIN NAFO PATCH:Together with our friends at LIFT99 Kyiv Hub (the NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade), we are teaming up to provide 2nd Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.
