Putin is an idiot. Trump offered him a hand to freeze the conflict in Ukraine. Had Putin accepted this, Trump would have turned his attention to China, and would have gone full-retard with the trade war. Instead now, Trump has made a 1 year detente with China, and he's going to turn his attention to Russia.

Expect US strikes on Venezuela + Iran in the next year. Also probably Tomahawk deliveries to Ukraine and EU seizure of Russian assets in EU banks.
