Why does Trump have any deal about an area where we should not be involved and he is not responsible?

He’s not wrong. If the Axis had been able to keep their gains, and the US had avoided supplying the countries under attack by them, the US could have avoided participation in WW2 altogether. The US did so anyway, to prevent powerful and dangerous countries from becoming more powerful and dangerous.

Trump’s personal liking for Putin, and perhaps Russia, has led him towards a preference for the restoration of Russian empire, including perhaps the Warsaw Pact. But the American and European public are not ready for such a change yet, any more than they would be to Japan or Germany restoring their WW2 empires.

So Trump will keep getting attacked for his endless efforts at making Russia great again. His partiality towards Russia is why it feels no pressure for a peace treaty. Putin figures if he holds out long enough, Trump might supply Russia with US weapons, or invade Ukraine in his behalf. Neither will occur, thanks to the American public’s antagonism to Russian imperialism.

But Putin can rely on Trump to favor Russia to the extent politically feasible. Maybe Trump will make the end of European aid to Ukraine or an end to European sanctions on Russia a condition of lowering tariffs. Maybe he’ll insist on European reparations to Russia for thwarting its rightful territorial goals. Bottom line is Putin has everything to gain by stalling. Trump will keep improving his offer.

Denigrating whatever he does goes way beyond Russia/Ukraine.

With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days.

There is a reason that Putin targets civilians. Putin is a war criminal. It's what he wants to do. This isn't a New York real estate deal. There is no reasoning with Putin. The war will end with Putin's defeat, and not before.

As it was once said, if Trump cured cancer, the headline in the Times would be: ‘Trump throws hundreds of thousands of healt care workers out of work’.

So make a deal.

You are correct, Mr. President. That’s why the NYT is aptly name New York Slimes.
