We will never agree when it comes to him.
As far as Putin, I have yet to see Trump play hardball with him. Trump has only appeased Putin. It would be a pleasant surprise if Trump gets tough with him. I’ve yet to see any progress when it comes to Russia. Zelensky has agreed to multiple ceasefires. Putin won’t even show up to peace talks.
Another thing of note is that Russia’s economy is a war economy. Does Putin really want a ceasefire?
