I think his idea to get the economy back under control, “Drill, baby drill”, would end the war in Ukraine even faster. If Russia loses their oil money they can’t afford to fight a war. Dropping oil below $50 would mean Putin would have to pull back his troops asap.

You're on the right track with that. What Trump would do is put both sides into a bind, where they would all have to stop right where they are, and be compelled into negotiation. Right now the policy on all sides is to keep pouring gas on that fire, keep escalating. Nobody's pumping the brakes. Bring concrete consequences in and it all stalls out.
