Is Putin buying time to batter Ukraine? Or is Trump dangling vague assurances? It's all bark and no bite — all hat and no cattle.fortune.com
Once again, top Trump officials are denouncing the attacks as “egregious” and that they “threaten the peace” Trump is pursuing, yet Trump refuses to take any substantive action to pressure Putin to stop or to punish Putin for his transgression.
No one really believed trump would get tough with Putin. He has to occasionally take breaks from his "negotiations" to ask Vlad just how tough he can talk. Tough guy....Ha
