4. It's Trump's "It's coming in TWO WEEKS" stall

I get the same impression, that he's sort of treading water and kicking the can down the road, because even Trump is smart enough to know that FULLY SIDING WITH PUTIN isn't going to be met with universal applause. On the other hand, whatever hold Putin has over him...and we'll probably never know that as long as Trump's breathing...can't be broken.

I think we knew as far back as January, when Trump started his second term (and probably well before that) that Putin is going to do whatever the hell he wants, and that any power Trump BELIEVES he holds over him is a fantasy.

Putin wants NOW what he wanted when he STARTED this. That hasn't changed.
