President Donald Trump put Russian President Vladimir Putin on notice, and issued some harsh words to China and their ongoing trade negotiations during his 19th week in office.
What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Tuesday morning.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former Russian president, responded in kind and issued his own words of caution to the U.S.
"Regarding Trump's words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!" Medvedev wrote.

I’d normally be on board with that but the likely replacement for Putin would be a bad thing. Nikolai Patrushev is not a good guy, and he’d be the favored one if age isn’t a concern. I think the prime minister whoever that is would take Putin place until elections. They probably have the same amount of corruption in their elections as we do here in the US.
Trump has had enough of Putin. He now openly acknowledges what we have suspected all along — that Putin lied to his face, smiling and shaking his hand while plotting in the shadows. That betrayal didn’t go unnoticed.
The tides are turning. Trump is poised to become Putin’s worst nightmare. The Russian leader miscalculated — badly.
With his reckless aggression and delusional ambitions, Putin has pushed too far, too fast — and now he’s waking a giant.
He asked for this. And he’s about to get it.
Trump has no cards over Putin. Russia can sell all the oil it wants to biggest economy in world by PPI measure, China.
And 3rd largest economy in world by PPI, India. Trump is mad because he kept saying he will end the war on his first day in office.

Trump has a card.
He could slap tariffs on countries buying a lot of oil from Russia, forcing them to buy oil elsewhere instead...
Isn’t this an old story?
LOL Oil is the most in demand commodity in the world.
