I was not wrong saying that Trump's new ultimatum dates for Putin will keep changing and popping up over the Ukraine War, depending on which side of the bed Trump got up from. It was supposed to be settled withing 24 hours of Trump taking office. It is now more than six months into his Presidency, and nothing is even close to his boasting.
Having said that, I have an uneasy feeling for Putin meeting Trump in Alaska. He could be arrested in USA territory by the ICC, never mind the USA is not even a member of the ICC. But then Rodrigo Duterte was arrested by the ICC inside the Philippines, also not a member of the ICC.
It would not be easy for the ICC to arrest Putin while he is still President of Russia, unlike Duterte who holds no official position in the Philippines. Arresting Putin in Alaska is going to start World War 3. Maybe I am too neurotic in my thinking.
In my opinion, the meeting should not be held in Alaska. It ought to be held in some Russian city like Kaliningrad, Minsk in Belarus or some other more neutral country.

Good morning All
Should be held in Singapore!
Singapore famous for all these events and Summits!
Sentosa or Shangri-la Rila!
Oops forgot Sinkieland sanctioned Russia hoh!
Also Sinkeland UAssA doggie!
NOT safe! But actually Dotard Donald Duck feared and loved Strong Men!
Won't dare to play 48 tricks on Putin!
Loved to be in by Strong Men!
So even Alasaka Putin not scared!
He had his Necular Contingent on standby to annihilate the whole of UAssA in case they try anything funny!
The meeting in Alaska will be just another charade. Nothing will come out of it. Just like the two meetings between Trump and Kim Jong Un. Absolutely wasted charade that costs much in monetary terms to Red Dot and Vietnam.
Putin will never cede territory he gained after sacrificing so much. And Putin is thinking of having a buffer zone set up inside Ukraine that is basically 'no man's land'. Zelenskyy on the other hand is demanding that Russia has to give up all territories, including Crimea. Now that is impossible, even in my simple thinking.
Then there are the Europeans adding fuel to the fire, talking about giving further aid to Zelenskyy and probably trying to sabotage any deal that they deemed not to their liking, just like Boris Johnson did earlier. Now, in the face of all these, what kind of a deal can Trump come up with?
The USA and the Europeans are just playing a game of 'Taichi' with the Europeans pushing and Trump pulling, pretending to give up messing in Ukraine. It is all a show, just a matter of delegating the continuation of the war from the USA to the Europeans to take care of, while Trump concentrates on the Middle East and China and taking credit where credit is not due like the war between India and Pakistan. Any other undue failure will be blamed on Joe Biden, who is probably wondering what Trump is blaming him for.
Let us just enjoy the clown show put up by the 'Circus Big Top'.
