I’m not sure why so many feel the need to paint Trump as some extraordinary political type of three dimensional chess player. Trump’s only move, with regard to Russia and Russia’s SMO in Ukraine, is to acquiesce to all Russian conditions. He has no leverage, there is no inducement, to convince Putin to abandon any of his demands.
The west has been thoroughly ass kicked in every aspect of its attack on the Russian state. The sanctions have impoverished Europe, and benefitted Russia. The attempt to militarily drain Russia of resources and political will, has drained western militaries of resources and their populations of political will. Lastly, the west wanted enhance its political power over Russia, and now has absolutely none; in fact Russia now has enormous political power over them.
So what is left to do for the west? As I said, acquiesce! If commenters wish to think that Trump sent his dimwitted emissary all over Europe in an elaborate scheme to make people believe for two extra days that he wouldn’t capitulate, then I would ask them, to what end? What would change if Europe’s leaders were delusional for two extra days? The truth is, nothing would change. So why would Trump do it?
I suspect that both Trump and his Kellogg corn flake were both as deluded as those trained monkeys who lead Europe. Their public comments all the way along bear that out. So, someone with some insight finally got to Trump, and explained to him that unless he wanted to get his ass kicked by Putin, like his predecessor, he had only one move. Acquiesce!
