    Yeah, the ideal situation for Putin would be for Trump to betray Ukraine in such a way that still pays lip-service to their assumed role as defenders of democracy so that, while Europe might be pissed off, they don’t have quite the impetus they need to overcome the inertia the USA has built up over decades of trade and military alliances and openly oppose them.

    Trump has always been Putin’s useful idiot, but we’re seeing the “idiot” part overtake the “useful” part here.
