Remember that both Trump and Putin are exclusively transactional. Putin has "disincentives" to keep Trump toeing the line. What could "disincentives" be? How about one of those KGB favorites? EXTORTION! My money would be on this: Putin subtly warns Trump about the relative safety of his family members, and tell him that, quite frankly, their safety is... oh... fluid. That gets Trump's attention really fast. So then Putin applies the screws. Do my bidding or something might happen. This makes sense because of what's transpired since inauguration. EVERYTHING on Putin's wish list is Trump's command. Look at the list of decisions Trump has made, all of which are highly favorable to Putin, with NO decisions making life more uncomfortable for Trump's Handler. It's simple. Look at Trump's Body of Work over the last ten years and ask yourself, what has Trump done to protect the US and its allies from the War Criminal's Death March? Anyone?
