sure the Kremlin is not happy about what Trump is doing. And who could blame them?
Where it all leads is anyone’s guess. My guess is that if Putin agrees to Trump’s deadline, Trump will first have to offer him some way to save face. “Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across,” is Sun Tzu’s timeless advice, and if there’s anyone who knows how to build stuff out of gold, it’s Donald Trump.
It’s pretty clear: Trump wants peace, and he is frustrated that Putin seems unwilling to go there at all.
