Well, dummy, Trump doesn't have to put sanctions on Putin in the middle of peace negotiations (which is stupid as shit) because he's lowering the price of oil and natural gas, which is costing Putin a ton of oil revenues.I know all that dummy.
He did go off on Putin and promissed sanctions in two weeks , after promissing sanctions in two weeks the month before, after promissing sanctions the month before, if Putin refuses meaningful steps to ending the war.
Well Putin flat out rejected any ceasefire and again proposed non-starter deal where Ukraine gives up territories and cities it holds now and then completely disarms itself so if Putin wants to take the rest of the country he can do that without any resistance possible.
What is Trump doing now? NOT SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA. Nope, after all the bluster Trump is now refusing to back the Republican sanctions on Russia and is talking about sanctioning Ukraine as well.
So aside from some temporary pretense, Trump is acting exactly like the Putin lapdog everyone except his nutters suspect him to be.
Trump is cutting off his war chest, and getting zero credit for it.
Thanks to Germany and other Euro countries, Putin can fund his war and keep it going, but lower oil prices is hitting him hard in his wallet.
