Anyone who knows Trump would know Trump would find a way for Putin to back out with some honor and the sense that he got something.
Of course the fact Trump would let Putin get something would get Trump labelled as a “Putin Lover”.
Politics make for strange bedfellows, or something to that affect, was uttered by someone wiser (not hard to do) than me.
It's so tedious to see pictures of this leader or that leader with the "villain of the day" and calls of "Gotcha! Gotcha!". Those pictures were taken in a snapshot of time that may be years, decades before. A good example is Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with S. Hussein. It's good red meat for the mouth breathers but not much else.
If Biden was a leader, he would look for help wherever he can get it to broker a potential resolution and subsequent deescalation of both sides, or at least plan for it.
But the only thing Biden seems to be able to do is check is pants to see if he has crapped in them.
