This makes sense to me. I think Trump respects Putin, and I think Putin respects Trump. They are two grownups amongst a world full of toddlers throwing tantrums. Given how this went down, I do think MAGA_Patriot is right that Trump and Putin had some sort of agreement before things went into motion, but I can't buy that Trump basically threatened Russia's existence to get cooperation when that is literally the only reason they made a move in the first place. You don't attack a cornered bear... unless you want to be lunch.
