Trump can use a variation off that option by telling Putin the longer he keeps attacking Ukraine and occupying it’s territory the faster moves the needle toward Ukraine membership in Nato,

If the NATO charter still means anything, a nation in current conflict cannot be considered for membership.

The mere discussion of bringing Ukraine into NATO while it is conflict with Russia is all the evidence that Putin needs to demonstrate to the West that our words are schitt, and hold meaning only up to the point an agenda will render them meaningless. In this case, the agenda is poking the bear.

“The mere discussion of bringing Ukraine into NATO while it is conflict with Russia “

The “mere” invasion of Ukraine demonstrates the cause for its membership in Nato is justified. Putin proves why Ukraine needs Nato. Putin is the creator of what he says he opposes.
