Trump and Putin: Peace or Illusion of Influence – Rezazade
Vice President of the Iranian Opposition in Washington (NIC) Ali Reza Rezazade points out that Vladimir Putin wants to meet Donald Trump, hoping to appear as an equal leader on the world stage. However, behind the illusion of power lies an autocrat whose influence is based on manipulation and intimidation, not real world authority.
An important geopolitical meeting will take place next year. Donald Trump seeks to reach a peace agreement on Ukraine to strengthen his status as a peacemaker. At the same time, Putin, who skillfully exploits the weaknesses of others, is trying to create the illusion of his own greatness by offering a “deal” to divide the world into spheres of influence.
But does Putin really have the strength to dictate terms? His economy is weak, his domestic authority is cracking under the pressure of sanctions and opposition, and his military ambitions are proving more expensive than he expected. His strategy is to try to lure Trump into a game where cunning, not real power, is the main tool.
For Trump, this is a chance to look like a winner, but the question is whether this agreement will not become a concession that undermines the international order. A peace agreement on Ukraine has the potential to end the war, but at what cost?
Putin, while trying to appear as a geopolitical “leader,” is really just playing a role. His main goal is to stay afloat by imposing chaos and forcing the world to play by his rules.
