Zelenskyy Uninvited: Is This Summit a Recipe for Disaster?

A pivotal meeting is on the horizon as President Donald Trump prepares to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska—without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Yes, you read that right. The guy who’s actively dealing with the fallout of the ongoing war in Ukraine won’t even be in the room! Congressmember Adam Smith is raising eyebrows, questioning how serious any peace talks can be without the person directly affected. It’s like throwing a birthday party and not inviting the birthday boy; awkward, right?

Smith didn’t hold back on his skepticism, suggesting that Trump’s approach is a bit lackluster, especially given that he has claimed he’d ramp up sanctions against Russia but hasn’t really followed through. It’s like promising a diet and then ordering a pizza—you’re sending mixed messages! If the goal is to negotiate a peace deal, wouldn’t it make more sense to include the key player in the discussions? It’s like trying to bake a cake without the eggs; not going to rise to the occasion, that’s for sure!

Meanwhile, as the world watches, the political rollercoaster continues. Will this summit actually lead to peace, or are we simply looking at more hot air from two leaders who love the spotlight? The anticipation’s building, but one has to wonder: is this summit a step towards resolution or merely a dangerous game? What do you think—the more, the merrier, or do you believe this is just business as usual?
