Paul Craig Roberts: Trump’s Putin Meeting Could Blow Up—Why No One Sees the Danger!

A candid analysis of the upcoming high-stakes summit reveals deep skepticism about its chances for success. The discussion highlights a fundamental disconnect: one leader pushes a land swap proposal, showing no grasp of the other’s core security concerns, especially NATO expansion and U.S. missile deployments near Russian borders. With no preparatory talks, unrealistic expectations, and powerful domestic and military interests opposing peace, the meeting appears dangerously unprepared. The conversation questions whether the summit is a genuine peace effort or a political maneuver, warning that failed talks could worsen tensions. Insights also touch on U.S. pressure on BRICS nations, media manipulation, and the broader erosion of diplomacy, leaving little hope for a breakthrough without serious groundwork.
