From the cited article ...

... Grassley pushed Trump to institute sanctions on Russia -- which Trump has previously threatened to do if they didn't come to the negotiating table on the war -- and added that Russia is "playing America as a patsy." ...

Well, yeah.

That's not been obvious?

But, I'd rephrase that as Russia is ~playing its Pres Trump sock puppet as a patsy.~

Pres Putin seems to know the triggers of Pres Trump to get him to do what Pres Putin wants Pres Trump to do.

Putin ignores trump.
Zelensky ignores trump.
Bibi ignores trump.
Xi ignores trump.
The rest of the world ignores trump.
Anybody else see a pattern here?
When Mao called America a paper tiger, he was prescient about trump.

Grassley is trying to shame Trump into increasing sanctions against Russia.

Meanwhile Trump is trying to blame Ukraine for Russia's continued war crimes and refusal to make peace. To give Trump cover to lift sanctions on Russia. Because that's Trump's true goal. To strengthen Russia and attack Ukraine.

TRUMP IS PUTIN'S PATSY!!!

Trump is indebted to Putin.

Trump is a child. He never grew up. He's a spoiled brat. He's running the county like a brat. He's impulsive. Shortsighted. Greedy. Stupid and full of himself.

He burnt through the money dad left him and Putin saw an opportunity.

This is a fact.

The only people who dispute it are his cult members who are absolutely delusional, deplorable, Trumping, MAGAts.
