https://thehill.com/opinion/international/422580-the-gift-of-the-magi-trumps-presents-for-putin
This is the season for gift giving. And nobody has been more lavish in gift giving than President Trump. Indeed, he has bestowed upon his hero, Vladimir Putin, a flood of gifts without seeking anything in return, the mark of true recognition of the light from the East that he has apparently seen.
Without asking for something in return, Trump has initiated an ongoing destabilization of domestic and foreign policies to the point where he is deranging NATO. Trump is also looking the other way as Putin solicits Japan to say that no U.S. forces could ever be stationed on the Kuril Islands if they are returned to Japan. Even more charitably Trump’s administration have ignored reports of a Russian air base on an island off of Venezuela that will pave the way for a permanent Russian presence there.
===================================================
Trump has also lifted sanctions on a huge Russian aluminum company (RUSAL) under control of Oleg Deripaska, a GRU agent in his other guise. But the greatest gift from Trump to Putin: U.S. withdrawal from Syria in return for nothing.
Much more in the article. Do you still think Trump is not Putin's puppet?
