Russian reporters are whining about having to sleep on cots and being served old tuna for breakfast while covering the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska — but their own country may actually be to blame.
The Kremlin journalists griped that they’ve had to rough it on portable beds with no sheets set up at the Alaska Airlines Center sports arena in Anchorage, where they were hardly able to make phone calls.
They — gasp — even had to get by without bottled water.
“After being assigned for [Thursday] night to what appeared to be a disaster evacuation zone, Russian journalists were being treated to breakfast of tuna mayo left out overnight, some chips, and an unlimited supply of water (from a drinking fountain),’’ wrote an irked Margarita Simonyan, editor in chief of the Russian state-run outlet RT.

Why would he do something stupid like that when he has consistently said sending our soldiers to Ukraine is not in our interest and he won’t do it.
Articles like these are mental masturbation, Stupid.
“Why would he do something stupid like that”
Who is he?
What is something?
Why is article stupid?
So, Russian reporters are just like American ones..................
Trump. Send US troups to Ukraine
“Trump. Send US troups to Ukraine”
Does not related to article. You must have posted to wrong thread.
He will.
I did see some pretty Russian reporterettes who had put their hair up tightly because it looked a bit greasy.
And then when the whole thing was done, absolutely no reporters from the entire world needed to be there. No questions taken. They were all just filling text with speculation.
I don’t know if it is customary for the State Dept from anywhere to provide facilities for visiting media. It probably is, given these complaints.
I didn’t find any trace in the article saying anyone did anything deliberately, merely that it wasn’t from any incompetence or ill will from the American hosts.
Russians complaining about chilly weather. Who saw that one coming?
Their great grandparents ate boiled shoe leather in Leningrad during Hitler’s siege and now they’re complaining about tuna fish sandwiches.
Why write an article that implies that Trump will send US troups when he says “He won’t” right now on TV as we speak?
No one wanted them there. There were not going to be any press meetings.
Russian reporters whine MOTHER MAKE THEM STOP THAT..........
Shoulda used Travelocity.
Since when is the U.S. taxpayer obligated to feed and shelter Russian propagandists? They can fend for themselves like everyone else.
Brick their iphones and watch what happens...
Apparently the NY Post is not aware that Anchorage is not the capital of Alaska.
“Many US reporters didn’t get hotel rooms in the small capital city of roughly 290,000, either.”
I don’t know WTH you’re talking about.
