Vladimir Putin hasn’t given up his favorite tune: strum the strings of Donald Trump until he plays along. Now, the two are arranging yet another “peace summit” over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and it’s clear who’s tuning whom.
After a lukewarm Alaska summit held on Aug. 15, 2025, that yielded little more than rhetoric and empty promises, Trump and Putin are reportedly arranging a second face-to-face meeting in Hungary, possibly within weeks. This would follow Trump’s recent two-hour phone call with Putin, which he described as “productive.” (via BBC) But we all know what productive means for the two dictators.
While Trump tried to put on a mask of sadness for the media, calling the innocent people dying in war “ridiculous,” he quickly turned to his usual self, claiming, ” It doesn’t affect our country” since no Americans are being harmed. It proves how seldom he is concerned about ending the war in reality. Yet, his hunger for the Nobel Peace Prize continues to land him in these “meetings,” publicizing his fake attempts at negotiating a peace deal.
