President Trump in the days leading up to his meeting with Putin in Alaska, was making a big thing about the sanctions that would be levied against Russia if there was no immediate ceasefire agreement.
But after the meeting, with no ceasefire in place, Trump has decided not to sanction Russia. So Putin is the clear winner. Putin would have explained to Trump the rationale for his continuing aggression against Ukraine, and Trump by taking no action is allowing the killing to continue. It appears that Trump is lots of huff and puff, but no stuff.
Yes he did bomb Iran’s nuclear sites, but how long did it take before he made this decision? A long time.
A lot is made about Trump’s leadership, but this is against the backdrop of Biden’s inability. A good leader would make decisions a lot quicker and more decisively than Trump who is conscious of criticism from others.
So Putin wins. He wanted no sanctions and to continue the war and Trump allowed him to keep going.
Its funny because prior to the meeting lots of people were talking about how much leverage Trump had going into the meeting, and that he had the ‘hammer’. But in the end Putin left with exactly what he wanted.
So Trump has been revealed as a weak foolish person who huffed and puffed but didn’t blow the house down.
