Trump and Putin have a war each to chat about

Amidst all the turmoil of the wars in Ukraine and Iran, President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin had time - quite a lot of time by the sound of it - to compare warlike notes and offer each other help and advice. It's bizarre. The two leaders get on well but they can't trust each other. The evidence of that is that they never do deals together. Putin has ignored Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine, and Trump has rejected Putin's offer of taking possession of Iran's enriched uranium. Trump wants that stuff in HIS hands, or at least in the ownership of the United States, so that it can be destroyed. Nevertheless, the two leaders had a long chat and I guess that is good, even though it didn't get anywhere. Putin and Trump have nowe spoken on the phone about a dozen times. Has the world got safer as a result? Difficult to tell. But the one thing these chats haven't done is bring a peaceful solution to either of the wars currently affecting the whole world. Trump, in his usual optimistic way, tells reporters after the latest talk with Putin that he thinks the war in Ukraine will come to an end soon, just like he has always said the war in Iran is nearly over. But But Ukraine is not going to end the war on Putin's terms, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps is not going to concede to Trump's demands. So, there is no end on sight for either of these wars.
