Trump should tell Putin that NATO is useless and can’t and therefore won’t be a problem for him as long as he gets the Donbass, tell Z us will buy all rare earths and make them rich, he gets NATO. “protection” Putin isn’t starting any more wars. He is almost dead and has to put his country back together before he gets whacked. He has to pay off all his oligarch at some point, This isn’t appeasement or rewarding agression cause Putin is finished physically and economically. The Russian people will not go for any more war.
“”He is almost dead and has to put his country back together before he gets whacked. “”
Almost dead? If you mean physically... he looked healthy enough to me yesterday. If you mean spiritually... that’s been the case since he was a teen, no doubt. Putting the country back together will be a different matter. But having totalitarian, iron grip, control will help a bit. He can just take what he wants from ‘the people’... and use his nuclear power status to coerce other nations to “help”... like leftists always do.
