From Alaska to Ukraine, a "peace" campaign that buys Putin time, diminishes Europe's role, and exposes the West to a historic risk: surrender to autocracy...
In August 2025, the Western world is experiencing a silent upheaval of balance.
In vague language, Trump announced a withdrawal from ceasefire initiatives, saying he “feels peace in the air.” But in reality, what happened next was the opposite: Russia intensified its offensive against Ukraine, while Russian propaganda began to portray Trump as “the only sane American.”
Columnist Paolo Mieli, one of the most lucid voices of the Italian elite, describes this “harmony between the Tsar and the Donald” as a relationship built not on diplomacy, but on complete inequality.
According to him, Trump is not simply being used by Putin; he has become a policy that helps the Kremlin expand its global influence, undermining American leadership from within.
Trump's meetings, statements, and even silences serve as catalysts for Putin's geopolitical plans.
In this international theater, Ukraine is no longer just a country at war, it has become a test of history for Western democracies themselves. If Trump manages to impose himself as a “pacifist” while in reality feeding Moscow’s aggression, then the crisis in Kiev is just the beginning. The expansion of Russian influence will no longer happen with tanks, but with tactics: division, shady deals, and especially by weakening NATO from within.
Putin knows this game well. He doesn’t need to appear aggressive, it’s enough for Trump to sow doubts, divide allies, and talk of “peace” while Moscow itself advances with war. And that’s exactly what worries Miel: what is seen as a signal of a new era in US-Russian relations is in fact a rigged game where one is the master and the other is either a conscious collaborator or a victim of personal ego.
For us Albanians and for the entire Western Balkans, this development is more than international news. A Trump dependent on Putin means a weaker NATO in the region, less pressure on Serbia, and more space for dangerous actors seeking instability.
So this "syntony" between the Tsar and Donald is not a political rumor, it is the most serious warning of what can happen if improvised diplomacy triumphs over the strategic interests of the West. / Pamphlet
