Welp. Hope you're right Trump will go aggressive with Russia and Putin. Unless he surrounds himself with people a lot smarter, wiser, and more geopolitically astute than him, then I don't see it. You have no idea how much I hope I'm wrong.
Trump has never said one critical word about Putin. Not once. Not when Putin was murdering Russian dissidents in London, and not recently as Putin is continuing to commit war crimes in Ukraine like bombing children's cancer hospitals or bombing stores in shopping centers on weekends filled with innocent civilians. So I have little optimism that Trump will be anything but Putin's lapdog.
He did condemn his actions in Syria in April, 2018. Strongly. I feel he treats Putin like a mark. Not like a friend. Too many sales meetings not to see it.
The only thing that happened in April 2018 was Putin condemned Trump's bombing of an empty Syrian airfield that had hosted Russian jets until Trump gave Putin the heads up that the attack was coming so he could get his planes out of harms way. Trump wasted 59 cruise missiles in the fruitless attack in response to Assad using chemical weapons on his own people, but Trump never said anything about Putin or in response to Putin's condemnation.
Trump is Putin's lapdog. Nothing in the last decade of Trump's actions has shown anything else. By the way, if anyone is getting played, it's Putin treating Trump like a mark, and pulling Trump's strings like he's a dancing marionette.
Trump probably doesn’t know what Trump will do. But most of America supports Ukraine. Tulsi and rfk don’t. Their reasoning is dumb. DJ has proven he can change positions on a dime. He once called Trump Hitler. His logic against supporting Ukraine is unbelievably idiotic.
I’m bullish on Trump flip flopping and continuing support for Ukraine. I don’t think he has any issue “selling out his base” or whatever. And since it’s a personality cult/single term - he’d face no repercussions for continuing to arm the UAF.
Its even in his self-interest to do so:
1. He would receive huge pushback from the defense establishment for pulling support.
2. Its not even a very popular policy among his voters, it's supported by around 50% of Republicans!
Why burn political capital for no gain? This all being said his recent nominations for key posts (outside Rubio) dampen my bullishness.

Most of the people he's surrounded himself with are pro-Russian. :( Only Mike Waltz gives me any hope. Gabbard, DJ, Musk, Kennedy... all Kremlin
Same.
