One thing I think is overlooked is Putin's obvious relationship with Trump.
When Trump was in full power instead of the stalemate that exists now Trump and Putin had at the very least an understanding of who each other were and what their goals were.
For us it was clear that Trump wanted only the best for the US.You can make a case Putin wants the same for Russia. He was obsessed with doing right for the country whether it was the economy,foreign affairs, space, immigration or whatever the issue.
Trump always put the US interests first. Unlike what we have now, a cabal run, idiotic marionette, run by the Obama III gang.
Putin clearly is taking advantage of the situation with our leadership vacuum while he can,its just who he is.You can equate that with a slick criminal taking advantage of someone leaving the vault door wide open at the bank. He just has to get a bag and fill it with money,cant help himself,after all he is a KGB criminal and always has been. just one of the reasons he targeted several cities in Ukraine using the Russian navy.He has always wanted warm water ports wherever and whenever instead of the frozen-assed ports he has in bitter-cold Russia much of the year.Like the criminal he is he had to take some shots at the waterfront cites while he could,after all the vault door was wide open. If we can get through the next few months until the reign of the criminal cabal now running the US is weakened after the November elections Trump may have enough power to once again negotiate with Putin.
It's clear Putin has little respect for perceived underlings. Sitting at the end of the table as he did was a sure sign of disrespect. He only wants "one on one" with those he considers his equal,Trump and few others.
The two are alike in many ways since it's clear both want the best for their respective countries.
Below in the clip from the link it's clear Putin has empathy for the late Qdaffi who was brutally murdered by the cabal who got all the bad players from the UN to NATO to country after country and 250k well paid terrorists spending two years and a bundle of Soros bucks to destroy Qdaffi and Libya.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60807134 Those who have observed him say the Russian leader is driven by a desire to overcome the perceived humiliation of Russia in the 1990s along with a conviction that the West is determined to keep Russia down and drive him from power. One person who met Mr Putin remembers his obsession with watching videos of Libya's Col Gaddafi being killed after he was driven from power in 2011.
Qdaffi had dared to suggest securing the dinar with gold which drove Soros,a currency speculator, mad. So he destroyed the country and killed Qdaffi. Putin clearly sees himself as a sort of oil baron/Qaddafi sort who could well get targeted the way Qaddafi was.It probably weighs on him.
Lot of differences however since Putin has weapons Qdaffi could only have dreamed of.
Once again the solution to the problem remains DJT,he can't return soon enough for me.
