The Geopolitics of Phone Calls: Why Putin, Macron, and Trump Can’t End Wars Even When They Talk
Imagine a world where the most powerful people on the planet – Putin, Macron, and Trump – can’t even agree over the phone, let alone in person! Yes, you read that right. Last week, Putin and Macron spoke on the phone for the sixth time this year, but instead of calming the war in Ukraine, they just criticized each other.
Phone Diplomacy? Only for Small Stuff!
Phones today are powerful but not magical. They can solve small logistical issues and prepare the ground for real meetings, but they can’t stop wars. Putin and Macron know this well, but they still have to talk. Why? Because the world has become so chaotic that even the most experienced leaders like Macron have to try to keep stability.
Europe in Panic: Israel, Iran, and the 12-Day War That Changed Everything
After Europe witnessed the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, it realized there’s no room for jokes anymore. Macron, one of Europe’s most talented leaders, immediately shared impressions with German Chancellor Merz, who had just been in Washington with Trump. Europe understood it must stick together and try to maintain stability in this increasingly crazy world.
Why No Real Meetings?
Phones may be ringing, but real top-level meetings between Putin, Macron, and Trump don’t exist. Why? Because the world is too tense and dangerous right now. There’s no room for relaxation or face-to-face talks. We lack people like the late Dr. Kissinger, who could fly anywhere and talk to anyone. Today, it’s all more complicated.
Diplomacy or War Machine?
France, under Macron, has always been a bastion of diplomacy, not a war machine. That’s why Macron tries hardest to keep dialogue with Putin. But is it enough? The war in Ukraine still rages, and the world is increasingly divided between East and West.
Bottom Line: Phone Calls Aren’t Enough!
The geopolitics of phone calls can only solve small problems. Big things get solved only when players meet in person and lay their cards on the table. Until then, the world remains chaotic, and wars continue.
If you think this is just another boring political story, think again. The world is on edge, and our leaders still rely on phones to solve problems they can’t even control.
What about you? Do you believe anything will change if they just keep talking on the phone? Or is it time for real diplomacy – with handshakes and real deals? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for or against this modern shuttle diplomacy!
