Trump May Threaten Putin with Tomahawks, Seeks Nobel 'Peace' Prize
Bloomberg breathlessly reports that Trump is 'mulling' sending Tomahawks to Ukraine, capable of striking deep into Russia, but first he wants a 'warning' call with Putin. This isn't diplomacy; it's a game of chicken with mutually assured destruction on the table. It's the same old 'negotiation' tactic—escalate maximumly, then claim credit for de-escalating to only very serious levels, a playbook
he perfected with Iran by tearing up the JCPOA and then wondering why they didn't come running to the table. (Bloomberg, October 2025) One might wonder if the plan involves threatening to send advanced weaponry, then 'courageously' reversing course after a symbolic phone call, allowing Trump to declare 'peace in our time' for the cameras. It's the kind of strategic genius that sees bombing a
country as step one in a peace process. How many times have we seen this show? The former president claims an uncanny ability to solve conflicts, yet his tenure saw increased tensions globally while enriching defense contractors. (Public record, various news archives 2017-2021)
