Irony is if Trump were still in office, Putin wouldn’t have had the nerve to invade Ukraine.

I don't think that is the reason.

Trump inherited Syria and ultimately backed off on the idea of getting rid of Assad or trying to pull Syria from Russia.

Trump respected the boundaries.

That doesn't make him weak. It makes him smart, street smart. Gangs don't have written formal agreement that define every boundary or standard, nor do the drug cartels or many other groups... but you know what will happen when you cross the street or town and enter into another gang or cartels area.

Trump actually built up missile defense, he spent more on defense, he was very hawkish where it made sense to be that way (Iraq, Afghanistan), but he didn't go shit on another mans front porch and start a fight that was entirely unnecessary and only motivated by economic interests on our side.

Putin took the best chunks off Ukraine during the previous Obama/Biden administration.

Biden, now _resident, has lived up to Obama’s early evaluation.
