#405-Featured Guest: Joaquin Flores with Special Guest Hosts Tim Kirby and Drago Bosnic -“Peace or Power Play? Dissecting Putin’s Call for Ukraine Talks in Istanbul”
“This week, the global stage is on fire—and at the center of it is Donald Trump.
After wrapping up high-stakes stops in Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Qatar, Trump now heads to Istanbul, and this isn’t just another handshake tour.
In Saudi Arabia, he sealed $600 billion in AI and energy investments—with U.S. tech giants backing the kingdom’s ambitions to lead in artificial intelligence. In Qatar, he witnessed the largest aircraft deal in Boeing’s history. And in Syria—shockingly—he lifted all U.S. sanctions and met with the new president, pushing Syria to join the Abraham Accords.
But now: Istanbul.
On paper, Trump is attending a reception at Trump Towers Istanbul. But in the backdrop? Vladimir Putin’s sudden call for Ukraine peace talks.
So is this a genuine push for peace—or a global power play?
Turkey, as a NATO member that’s kept close ties with both the West and Russia, is the perfect stage for a strategic pivot. Trump showing up in Istanbul right now, at a site that bears his name, may signal he’s ready to step in as a deal-maker—or a kingmaker—in the Ukraine conflict.
Is he positioning himself as the only one who can broker peace between Ukraine and Russia? Or is this about optics, leverage, and legacy?
We’ll be unpacking all this and more in this episode—don’t miss it.”
