As a Russian asset, Trump indeed did get a lot of love from Russia through the past 40 years. Ivana Trumps father also had his role, when Czechoslovakias StB and KGB ramped up spying on Trump in late 1980s. Problem for West in 2026: Trump has decided its time sending back all that love to Russia.

Putin started a war against Ukraine because he thought Ukraine wouldn’t put up a fight and it would all be over in a few days. As a result, Russia has had 1.2 million dead, wounded, and missing and has been fighting longer than the USSR fought WW2.
