Trump’s response to the FT report about “no Russia experts in the room in Alaska” is predictably ad hominem (though Bolton admittedly deserves such insults). Trump totally ignores the disaster he’s created at State. My takeaway is that he wavers between two extremes when it comes to Ukraine.
On the one hand, Ukraine’s defeat is assured, and the Russian war machine is unstoppable. On the other hand, the U.S. could snuff out Russia’s economy in the blink of an eye, “we’re winning everything,” and sanctions/tariffs will compel obedience from adversaries and allies alike.
