I don’t know, being the last person on the planet to realise Putin might not genuinely want peace is pretty dumb. And, if he actually just needed Russia to win that would have been pretty easy to accomplish, as US president.
There are interests that allign between them and interests that don’t.
Trump doesn’t have loyalties or ideologies beyond doing whatever he selfishly thinks will be best for him.
My argument is that Trump is behaving selfishly by jumping ship on the Putin train, not that Trump is intelligent. Trump is an idiot, and worse he is a terrible person.
