You could argue Trump left the door wide open for Putin and may have even been privvy to Putin’s intentions after the summit in Helsinki where nobody was allowed into the room. All speculation of course but there’s no doubt Trump’s admiration for Putin and his anti NATO stance during his 1st term looks even more egregious now doesn’t it? Never mind his blackmailing of Zelensky and cutting off military aid. Trump’s behaviour in the last couple of weeks only strengthens the argument that Putin controls him and has done since they interfered in 2016.
