If Trump as you say has no leverage with Putin why is Putins lackey threatening to be our worst enemy ever if we go ahead with what you say we have no leverage to do?
Does Russia suspect Trump might actually follow through on 500% tariff sanctions on anyone who trades with Russia?
Would that have no leverage?
Was Ukraine about to invade Russia 3 yrs ago? Are they about to now?
Will they ever be in a position to invade Russia like Russia invaded them?
Do you have any sensible take or reply on any of this?

You always ask a lot of questions.
You should be out at camp on a beautiful day like this. Hopefully, the spotty rain don't encourage the mosquitos. I haven't noticed a black fly hatch.
“Does Russia suspect Trump might actually follow through on 500% tariff sanctions on anyone who trades with Russia?”
Trump is unpredictable, purposely so.
Trump probably will try. Trump likes tossing shoes into the works. That means no fashions from Paris or woke dolls from China for Russian women and girls come 2026.
“Would that have no leverage?”
It would be unpleasant, mainly for rich Russians. However, Russia has almost certainly imported the machine tools and semiconductor making equipment from China that it needs.
China has the broadest consumer goods production capability in the world. Russian industrial equipment buyers have probably bought a lot.
