The evidence that Donald Trump has been perhaps the best investment that Vladimir Putin ever made is difficult to dismiss. Throughout his political life, Trump has frequently lambasted America’s allies, while he has conspicuously declined to criticize Putin or condemn his abhorrent activities, including war crimes in Ukraine and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Until recently. This week Trump has diverted from his notoriously pro-Putin stance to offer some mild rebukes following Putin’s failure to heed Trump’s impotent demand that he stop bombing civilians in Ukraine. Instead, Putin escalated his attacks, proving how little respect for, or fear of, Trump Putin has. Never mind Trump’s promise to end the war in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. Or his claims that the war would never have happened if Trump were in office at the time Putin invaded. Which Trump doesn’t even believe…<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, wherein he made an unexpected confession. He wrote that<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“What Vladimir Putin doesn\u2019t realize is that if it weren\u2019t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He\u2019s playing with fire!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there you have it. Trump is admitting that he has been been protecting Putin and Russia from some unspecified “really bad things.”<\/em> So while Putin was massacring innocent Ukrainian civilians, destroying the nation’s infrastructure, and insisting that it doesn’t have any right to exist, Trump was shielding Russia from any harm that might have come its way.<\/p>\n

That’s been noticeably true as Trump halted America’s military and intelligence support for Ukraine. He also refused to impose any new sanctions on Russia, or to seize the billions of dollars of frozen Russian assets in U.S. control. And Trump has been Russia’s strongest advocate to reenter the world community in organizations such as the G7.<\/p>\n

This latest missive by Trump follows his complaint that Putin “has gone absolutely CRAZY.”<\/em> Is Trump pretending to be surprised by this transformation in his Russian BFF? If not, and he truly believes it, that’s even worse. In another Truth Social post Trump yammered that…<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Trump says that Putin "has gone absolutely CRAZY."But Putin is doing exactly what he's done since he invaded Ukraine 3 years ago. And Trump, who said he would end the war in 24 hours, is responsible for prolonging it by halting the support America was giving to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
