Trump and Putin in Alaska Friday 15:27 - Aug 11 with 1140 views | RIPbobby | This seems to me like a crazy thing to do by both. Of the 7 billion people on this planet I would imagine that these 2 were probably those most disliked. Surely it is dangerous to have both of these meeting in such a isolated place. Will someone try and assassinate them? I think it is insane that they a putting themselves in such obvious danger. |  | | |  |

I'm sure Putin, who is fixated with going back to old Russian borders, probably doesn't view Alaska as very neutral... |  |

It was described as equally inconvenient for both, as it's an 8 to 9 hour flight for Putin and Trump. Also, Alaska is huge and much easier to avoid protests etc. |  | |  |

It's also potentially another distraction by Trump. Today he is outlining how he is going to put federal forces on the streets of DC to "Liberate the City" [Post edited 11 Aug 15:39]

They can only meet somewhere that doesn't recognise the ICC's jurisdiction. Step up, the good ol' US of A! |  |

That is a very good point. I had kind of forgotten about that. OK, that makes this decision to meet in Alaska a little more understandable. Its a bit annoying that USA are not signed up to that agreement. |  | |  |
