Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are trying, against the instincts of their administrations, to end the confrontation between their two countries since the Cold War. The American president is balancing threats and peace proposals, while his Russian counterpart is showing patience. Will the two men succeed in freeing their countries from the trap they have built for eighty years and which is closing in on them?

The relationship between Putin and Trump has reached a turning point that will decide between war and peace, between the two greatest nuclear superpowers in the Milky Way  [ 1 ] . Catholic Vice President JD Vance told FoxNews Sunday that “the United States is reviewing Ukraine’s request for long-range Tomahawk missiles” that would strike deep into Russian territory. The young millennial vice president added that President Trump would make the “final decision 

On the other hand, retired General Keith Kellogg, 81, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, has byzantinely declared that Russia—against all tangible evidence on the battlefield where Ukraine is currently being thrashed—”lost the war” because “it failed to destroy Ukraine  [ 3 ]  .” It should be noted that General Kellogg’s daughter is addicted to the illegitimate regime of Khazarian comedian Zelensky, who is also delusional, trying to make people believe that he is “winning the war.”

If Ukraine, a vassal of NATO and the European Union, was indeed “winning the war,” why would it need the help of the fearsome Tomahawks, which can carry US-NATO nuclear weapons? At the same time, the genocidal Netanyahu is planning to deliver Patriot defense systems to his Khazarian coreligionist in kyiv….

Russian philosopher and geopolitician Alexander Dugin claims that “delivering the Tomahawks to Kiev would be a pure disaster” that “would irreversibly damage Russian-American relations”: the “neoconservatives’ dream would be to drag the United States into a third world war 
 [ 4 ]  “, which would tragically be nuclear in nature.

Contrary to the drums of war that are sounding more forcefully within the European NATO countries, President Putin, during his participation in the plenary meeting of the Valdai Club in Sochi, invited Trump to “peaceful coexistence  [ 5 ]  “.

Regarding the hypothetical delivery to Ukraine of deadly Tomahawk missiles—with a range of 2,500 kilometers and a cost of $1.3 million each, capable of reaching Moscow and beyond—Putin said that this would not change the irreversible course of the war, which is now favorable to Moscow, but that it would constitute “a new step in the escalation,” because Ukraine cannot use these sophisticated missiles without the control of the US military.

India ‘s Economic Times speculates that “the US is unlikely to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine” because “it faces obstacles related to stockpiles committed to its navy operations.” This appears to be a Trump-like bargaining chip.

Since last year, the neoliberal think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) has denounced the sharp decline in the number of these deadly US missiles, already widely used in Yemen against the Ansar Allah guerrillas 
 [ 6 ] .

China ‘s Global Times highlights Putin’s warning about delivering Tomahawks to Ukraine, as the Russian president “praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to help broker peace in Ukraine,” calling his August summit in Alaska “productive,” while “reiterating Russia’s confidence in its nuclear shield. ”  [ 7 ]

Putin told members of the Russian Security Council that “Moscow will respect the limits set on nuclear weapons for one more year, after the expiration on February 5, 2026, of the “START 3” nuclear treaty (Treaty on the Reduction of Strategic Nuclear Arms) with the United States  [ 8 ] . Trump responded that Putin’s nuclear proposal was “a good idea”  [ 9 ] .

The world is anxiously awaiting Trump’s final decision on the Tomahawks, a decision he appears to have already made, but which he will keep secret until he deems the time opportune  [ 10 ] , while waging a veritable “civil war” from Oregon to Illinois against what he calls the terrorist group Antifa, financed by George Soros and his son Alex.
