I don't want or can't? Trump's strange reluctance to put Putin

Donald Trump announced a hard conversation with the leader of Russia on Ukraine, he did not achieve anything; The US administration is afraid that what she called “Biden war” will turn into “Trump's defeat” – writes “Economist” in the text entitled “Trump's strange reluctance to put Putin to put himself to Putin.”

During the conversation, which lasted two and a half hours, Trump did not give Putin an ultimatum, he did not say that he must end the war against Ukraine, because otherwise American sanctions would fall on Russia. He only suggested that there would be further negotiations. And then he boasted in his social media that it was a “excellent conversation” – reminds the British weekly.

“It can end so that Trump comes out to the weak and stupid”, and the dragging conversations – if it comes to them – will give Russia time to catch up on the battlefield. It is a small comfort that Trump did not repeat his most comments that “Ukraine has no cards” to continue the fight – he comments.

In the American administration, the fears are growing that the president's completely fruitless diplomatic procedures will make Trump's surroundings “war on President Joe Biden” to turn into “Trump's defeat”. Some of the president's people are inclined to “the second option – accusing mediation in general” – writes “Economist”. “We are at least open to leave (from negotiations – PAP)” – said vice president JD Vance.

“For a long time, in love with + strongman + Russia, Trump ranges between three options that are known to people suffering from unrequited love: to intensify courtship, give up or switch to hostility” – comments “Economist”.

For now, Trump – “frustrated with Putin, but accidentally give it up” – he decided not to make decisions. “Russia may be enough” – says the weekly.

He also points out that in Trump's administration there are new grades, like the one that Vance says – Putin “does not know too much how to withdraw from this war.” This is a very friendly opinion about the Russian leader – believes “Economist”. “All signs indicate that Putin wants to still fight,” he adds.
