15:00Now PlayingTrump, Putin, and the Future of Ukraine
Hawk discusses Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska and the fallout that followed. In this episode, Hawk focuses on how the summit highlighted Trump’s willingness to give Putin the upper hand while leaving Ukraine sidelined. He emphasizes the symbolic power dynamic in photos of Trump slumped beside Putin and connects the meeting to broader questions about democracy, NATO, and America’s global role.
Drawing from Tom Nichols’ article Trump Buys More Time for Putin in The Atlantic, Hawk examines how this meeting appeared less about peace and more about Trump distracting from domestic controversies, including the Epstein files. He points out that Ukraine was not even present, while European leaders later rushed to Washington to protect Ukrainian interests against Trump’s potential concessions to the Kremlin.
Hawk raises concerns about the implications of Trump signaling that Ukraine should accept Putin’s terms, something prohibited by Ukraine’s constitution. He also highlights how Putin benefits strategically by delaying any resolution, giving Russia time to strengthen its wartime economy.
Throughout, Hawk underscores the risks of Trump legitimizing Putin while undermining America’s credibility with allies. The discussion ties together U.S. politics, European diplomacy, and the ongoing war in Ukraine, offering viewers a sharp look at the global stakes.
