A proposed summit between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin appears to be on hold after a US official said that there were "no plans" for Trump to meet with Putin in the immediate future.

He obviously doesn't need to. Putin already gave him his latest orders during that phone call last week.

Was the whole shitshow just not to give Tomahawks?

I listen a lot to Vlad Vexler. Vlad postulates that Putin has manipulated Trump's narcissism so that Trump considers Putin an ideal source or narcissistic fullfilment. This leaves Trump in a positikn where internally he feels "wouldn't it be nice if Vlad and I were not limited by this war, and then we could be these two tough guy friends." Putin then uses this to get Trump to looks down on Zelensky (he's not like us Donald), and then convinces Trump that Ukraine isn't worth supporting.
This makes sense when tou see how Trump tries to show off to Putin, and insults Ukraine, especially for a few days after they talk.
Putin had convinced Trump that he is the kind of guy that Trump wishes he could be.
Add on top of that the idea that Trump doesn't have the ability to play any long games, so he has no comprehensive strategy, and therefire is always acting in the moment.
Anyway - my point is that Tomahawks for Ukraine is not astrategic concept for Trump, it is a narcissistic attempt to support the winning team.

That's a very interesting take! Rather psychological, but individual psychology of those with excess power unfortunately plays a huge role. I didn't know about Vlad Vexler, great link!

No, it was to pin everybody's attention on this possible meeting while he refused the Tomahawks.
Honestly, Putin must have some dirt on Trump... I mean, there must be some reason why Putin is the only person getting the white-glove treatement from Trump.

To lead on Selensky by the unfulfilled idea of giving Tomahawks to him.

Isn't this just an afraid Putin that heard Poland saying they would force his plane down and send him to the Hague?

Melania was bragging about calling him the other to try to get some Ukrainian children returned.
