On August 15, 2025, Brian Krassenstein, a left-wing influencer, posted a controversial message on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting that sn*pers should have been positioned in Anchorage, Alaska, to “take out” Russian President Vladimir Putin during his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. This comment was made following an incident where Putin shrugged off questions about civilian d**ths in Ukraine, which some interpreted as dismissive.
