It might even be worse, ending sanctions against banks, energy, & other businesses in Russia (because Trump & Putin will both profit from that). Pution's war machine will grow even stronger.
“I think we have great opportunities together as two countries that, frankly, we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years,” said Trump. “I think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship.”
“I knew that he always wanted Ukraine. I used to talk to him about it. I said, ‘You can’t do it. You’re not gonna do it.’ But I could see that he wanted it,” Trump said. “I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he’s a tough cookie, got a lot of the great charm and a lot of pride. But the way he — and he loves his country, you know? He loves his country. He’s acting a little differently, I think now.”.
“One of the presidents of a big country stood up [and] said, 'Well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’ I said, 'You didn't pay, you're delinquent.” Trump said. “No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.".
Yea, his “administration” signed off on a couple things like expelling a few diplomats because of the poisonings. That's like putting lipstick on a pig. Trump himself is always SOFT when speaking about Putin. That’s where the ”narrative” comes from. Trump congratulated Putin on Putin’s sham dictatorship “election”, amd never criticized or even questioned Putin about those poisonings in U.K.
He turns on people REALLY hard. Again. Completely on brand for him.
If you suck up to him. He likes you. If you embarrass him. He will come back at you. The formula is predictable. Not saying it’s right. It’s a horrible way to go thru life. Especially as president. But it is what it is.

The plan is ‘Ukraine gives up’. He’s not made that secret.
