Trump loves Putin, respects him, he has said so. Trump and Vance insisted that Russia didn't start this conflict.
He embarrassed Zelensky, he rediculed him, he sold him out, he pulled support, gave a little back, has stepped in front of EU efforts, in front of NATO, efforts, he has made Z promise not to attack Moscow while Putin demolished Ukraine cities.
Trump has threatened more sanctions, never enacted, now Putin has offered up Nuclear deal for Trump support so Russia can keep their gains.
More smoke...to cover the actual facts.
Hmmm
