Trump is an infantile moron whose primary desire is to force Ukraine to surrender unilaterally to Russia. Putin understands this, and it's why the Kremlin put so much effort into secure both his first and second victories. Putin knows Trump is so stupid and so pathetically eager for a "deal" that Russia holding out for the most extreme objectives will ensure those most extreme objectives are accepted by Trump. And we really need to ask: why should a bloated orange retard in the USA imagine he gets any sort of say over whether or not an entire European nation should be crushed under the heels of Russian rabble-in-uniform? Why should Ukraine submit to genocide - real genocide, not the fake lefty-trendy "genocide in Gaza" crap - just because a mentally damaged US president thinks it will make him look "smart" and "strong?"
