So, POTUS flies to an air base near Anchorage, AK., to meet the "Little Dictator" hisself. It's summer now in the Arctic. Brown bears are cavorting among the wild flowers as they pursue a meal to fatten up for the winter hibernation effort. Trumpie and Putie will appear to be serious in their combined attempt to put an end to war in Ukraine. Oh, is Pres. Zelensky going to be there? Only in spirit as these 2 rock heads gambol about the landscape trying to look presidential. Sorry, that can't happen with these two saps.
The Mayor has not been to Alaska recently, but past trips usually included some fishing; Alaska is known for natural resources: oil, oil, and more oil. It's been pumped from the North Slope for almost 50 years. The pipeline traversing the entire state north to south was instantly controversial when proposed. Eco troops warned of many potential problems, not the least of which who among them would get a check from the State of Alaska that reaped significant tax benefits from extractor companies.
So, the annual cash benefit has been reduced somewhat(for all residents) has been reduced as flows decrease. The detractors have had to acknowledge that problems were minimal. The largest oil problem happened with the grounding of a oil tanker in the Sound that crerated the largest environment problem in US history, But that was then.
Now oil will take a backseat to politics and international efforts to stop the indiscriminate killing of Ukrainians by Rus soldiers who lob rockets and missiles into Kviv, and other civilian centers. Read non-military targets. These acts will never be forgotten, nor should they. Those responsible(starting in the Kremlin) should be tried for these war crimes because that is what they are: war crimes.
One wonders what POTUS will think as he stares into the beady little eyes of the Little KGB colonel, now dictator of the Rus.
