    Of course, his demands are impossible. That way, he can just point to everyone else and say “see? They’re prolonging the war!“

    I really wish people would stop, acting shocked and surprised when Putin and Trump do shit like this. We have known, for decades, that both of them are insane monsters. Do something!

      Trump might be insane but Putin is far from it. He’s been locked in a battle for the survival of his regime (and by extension his life) for decades. He’s extremely savvy at playing the political game in Russia.

      Trump basically shoots from the hip all the time and thinks only his relationships with people and his deal-making matter. He’s a sitting duck for a manipulator like Putin.

      Luckily this only works for two year iods and the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

      Which is who is in charge of a lot of places, but you’d think normal people would never listen for a second.
