Trump buzzes Putin with B-2 stealth bomber, F-35 fighter jets

President Donald J. Trump sent a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin before the two leaders’ historic meeting to bring an end to the carnage in Ukraine in what might be the “biggest flex” ever.

When the two world leaders were on the tarmac at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson just outside of Anchorage, Alaska, Putin was treated to a good look at U.S. airpower up close and personal as a B-2 stealth bomber and four F-35 fighter jets flew overhead, buzzing the Russian strongman.

This is an EPIC reminder of American air superiority for Putin to witness up close and personal.

Putin looked up at the sky to observe the symbolic show of force, a reminder of America’s air superiority as well as a not so subtle suggestion that it’s time to make a deal to stop the killing in a war that has lasted more than three years, a meatgrinder that has cost each side hundreds of thousands of lives.

The B-2 is the aircraft used to carry out the successful Operation Midnight Hammer strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, inflicting severe damage to the Islamic Republic’s dreams of a nuclear weapons arsenal by dropping bunker busting bombs on the heavily fortified Fordow mountain enrichment facility.

It was a sign that America is back after the disastrous foreign policy of the Biden administration, one marked by the humiliating surrender of Afghanistan to the terrorist Taliban and the Ukraine war which Trump is now working to end.

X users reacted to the buzzing.

“Say whatever you want about President Trump. But one things for sure; this is the biggest flex, AND I MEAN THE BIGGEST FLEX in the history of FLEXING. No questions asked. No comparison,” wrote on X user, marveling at the display of American military might.

Although, I have to admit parking F-22’s and forcing Putin to walk through them, it’s pretty boss move. https://t.co/mkYze7xTP3

That B-2 flyover over Putin’s head is the literal example of peace through strength.
Will be in the history books.

“In all seriousness, President Trump has the weight of the world on him. Prayers up for success here,” wrote conservative journalist and podcaster Megyn Kelly who weighed in on the monumental moment that could lead to peace.

While the media did what it always does by pumping out a bogus narrative that the talks were a failure, the two are likely to meet again very soon, possibly in Russia.

TRUMP: “We’ll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. Thank you very much, Vladimir.”

PUTIN: “Next time in Moscow”

“We’ll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. Thank you very much, Vladimir,” Trump said at a news conference following their sit-down.

“Next time in Moscow,” Putin responded.

“I’ll get a little heat on that one,” Trump acknowledged, not ruling it out. “But I could see it possibly happening”

“A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up,” the president wrote in an early Saturday morning post to Truth Social.

“President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.
