It seems that Trump has finally realized that Putin is leading him by the nose and is simply stalling for time, as he does with all interim US presidents, and this is his great advantage over them. Trump has not yet been able to do anything with Russia that he promised. He only repeats every time that if he were instead of Biden, there would be no war. Trump forgets that this is why he came to the White House, to fulfill America's duty according to the Budapest Memorandum, and not to engage in appeasement of the aggressor.
