(BBC) – Has the relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin gone off the rails? A popular Russian newspaper thinks so. It turned to trains to illustrate the current state of US-Russian ties.
“A head-on collision seems unavoidable,” declared tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets recently.
“The Trump locomotive and the Putin locomotive are speeding towards each other.
“And neither is about to turn off or stop and reverse.”
For the ‘Putin locomotive’, it’s full steam ahead, with the so-called ‘Special Military Operation’: Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Kremlin leader has shown no desire to end hostilities and declare a long-term ceasefire.
