President of the United States choosing Alaska as the venue for the U.S.-Russia summit implies a hidden intention! Putin's acceptance of Alaska as the location for the U.S.-Russia summit also implies deep meaning!

Alaska was once Russian territory, and due to the Crimean War in 1853, it had to be sold to the United States at an extremely low price. Since then, Russian national leaders have never set foot on this lost land. If Putin arrives in Alaska on August 15, it will break history.

The President of the United States has three hidden intentions in choosing Alaska:

First, the United States and Russia are not born enemies. Alaska witnessed the cooperation between the U.S. and Russia and the humiliation imposed by Europe on Russia. Russia suffered a defeat against the Ottoman Empire, being expelled from the Caucasus, the Balkans, and the Black Sea. Britain took advantage of the situation and was about to annex Alaska. Russia actively chose to sell the then-poor Alaska to the United States, which was relatively friendly, for 7.2 million dollars.

Second, to ease historical grievances of Russia. The separation of Alaska is a result of the Crimean War. Inviting Putin here is also a result of the Crimean War. The former is a humiliation, while the latter is glory. The president of the United States gives Putin a supreme honor and dignity by receiving the territory gained from the victory of the Crimean War on the soil lost in the defeat of the Crimean War.

Third, Alaska is the only connection point between the United States and Russia. Once the Ukraine conflict ends, U.S.-Russia economic cooperation will quickly begin, and Alaska will become a key node for the two countries to enter a new era. It is suitable to discuss ending the war and starting cooperation here, which is a place of great significance, and this is also the main reason why the White House refused Zelenskyy to participate or attend the meeting.

Putin's acceptance of this arrangement also has three deep meanings:

First: To comfort the homeland as a victor. Putin has a strong sense of homeland. This can be seen when he wept when reclaiming Crimea. Although Alaska can never return, the United States will acknowledge that Russia now has a new Alaska: Crimea and Donbas.

Second: To bring Russia's nostalgia for history back to memory and start a new chapter. As the first Russian president to step on Alaska, Putin will no longer avoid this land, representing Russia to give up its past bitterness and regret.

Third: Just like the president of the United States expects, plan how to end the centuries-old grudges in Crimea. The summit may not succeed, but if it does, if the United States forces Zelenskyy to sign a peace agreement according to Russia's goals, the history of Alaska is most suitable to witness it.
