Oops looks like all the mockery of Z here just ran into Trump.
But to be fair, Trump is shifting because Putin wouldn’t cooperate.
Trump recognizes that the US has a lot of power, and he’s willing to make “bad things happen” to those who don’t cooperate.
At the very least, he’s been convinced only serious threats can influence Putin.
Putin boasted to President Trump in Alaska that Russia would conquer the entirety of Donetsk by October 1st and it’s obvious that President Trump isn’t buying Putin’s nonsense.
Plus there’s Putin’s tax hike next week on Russians earning more than $1,000 a month along with the gas lines and rationing.
