I have long labored under the premise that Trumpf fears Vladimir Putin.
These fears arose from either kompramat or perhaps subtle hints from Putin that he can reach out and get anybody, anytime, anywhere, including members of Trumpf's family. Donald Trump Jr received an envelope with white powder last year. I don't think a suspect was ever arrested and this may very well be unrelated to Putin.
The editorial points out Putin's weakness because of battlefield disasters and losing an energy corridor. On top of that, somebody apolitical suggested to me that Trumpf does not need Putin anymore after the 2024 election. With the full might of the USG, oligarchs, and Elon Musk's intergalactic wealth and communications systems behind Trumpf, Putin is in a weaker position and Trumpf can call the shots. I don't know if I agree with that because ultimately, I think Trumpf fears Putin.
As Yogi Berra once said: "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.’
