Trump Diplomacy: Three Hours Of ‘Maybe’ With Putin
In an epic Kremlin chat, White House envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin for a full three hours as Trump’s ceasefire deadline looms Friday. Apparently, Witkoff is Putin’s new favourite pen-pal, having met him several times recently, but this was their first since April. Trump’s ‘50-day deadline’ magically shrank last week because, in his words, Putin 'wasn't negotiating in good faith.' Meanwhile, sanctions are gearing up to carefully punish Russian oil buyers like India and China — because diplomacy is just sanctions with better PR.

(1 of 3)Trump’s diplomacy is like giving Putin a deadline and then hoping he just magically cares. It’s sanctions theatre with a touch of nuclear bluster — because why solve problems when you can just shout louder?
Watching Trump’s ceasefire ultimatum is like watching a toddler set a bedtime and instantly forget it. Meanwhile, Witkoff’s Kremlin chats are the international equivalent of ‘can we still be friends?’ text messages.
A three-hour meeting with Putin to talk peace sounds promising — until you remember Trump called him out for ‘not negotiating in good faith’ and then decided to punish his fans instead. Classic oil diplomacy!
