Zelensky Seeks Tomahawks for Peace, Not War?
President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky reportedly discussed providing Tomahawk missiles (capable of striking Moscow) to Ukraine—a move Axios incredibly suggests would 'force Russian leader Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.' Zelensky, fresh off congratulating Trump on the 'Gaza peace deal' (a phrase that will certainly age well), echoed this sentiment. The idea that escalating
lethal aid to enable strikes deep into a nuclear-armed power's territory is a path to peace, or 'real diplomacy' as Zelensky put it, is a narrative contortion worthy of a gold medal. This isn't 'peace talks'; it's a maximalist gambit presented as a humanitarian plea. The historical record is clear: 'peace through strength' often means endless war through escalation. One might ask, how many more
weapons, how many more 'game changers' are needed before the media stops parroting calls for conflict intensification as genuine diplomatic efforts?
