The Illusion of Cooperation and the Art of the Useful Idiot

The setup against #Kyvw is continuing, and the pattern is hard to ignore. Every of Trump's action on the world stage, make'em obvious. What is striking is how these narratives often fall apart under scrutiny, but by then the damage is already done.

The much-talked-about Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has left virtually no results worth noting. Hopes that such a high-profile meeting might change the trajectory of U.S.–Russia relations were quickly dashed and are basically pathetic to have'em to begin with. Observers highlight that the talks were more symbolic than substantive, offering no new agreements or policy breakthroughs. Not sure where to book this summit.

The notion of “constructive” cooperation, especially when invoked by figures like Putin, aren't even sounding appealing in theory, without tangible cornerstones it collapses into little more than political theater. Genuine cooperation demands trust, concrete frameworks, and measurable objectives—yet none of these were present in Trump’s discussions, leaving the rhetoric hollow. Instead of producing even a modest foundation, such as a ceasefire or a roadmap for progress, the summit ended with nothing but vague statements dressed up as diplomacy. The people were left with the spectacle of statesmanship without any substance, an illusion designed to project progress where none exists. This kind of empty performance not only mocks the idea of genuine cooperation but also underscores the role of a willing participant playing directly into Russia’s hands—a textbook example of the “useful idiot” dynamic. "The Art of the Deal" might be Russian for takin long white dongs.

Meanwhile, the sudden diversion of attention onto these international theatrics has served as a convenient distraction from domestic scandals. For a full twenty-four hours, the Epstein saga virtually disappeared from the front pages, replaced by recycled coverage of summits and photo ops. This kind of news cycle management raises questions about priorities in both media and government. Important issues at home often vanish the moment a new shiny story emerges abroad. The public should be wary of how easily serious matters can be sidelined for political convenience. https://img.leopedia.io/DQmeQQjTxPnDXxp3pNXrUysxz4LejTrjaZ8KYWGHAKuUj1B/assets_task_01k2rw6p99f7eakzb4p6pqagdp_1755329140_img_1.webp
