This [video] pretty much fits with my own comments about Trump and the Russo-Ukrainian war. There is a lot of cope about Ru having dirt on Trump (suggesting he doesn't "actually" support Ru) or various psychological explanations regarding Trump personally (partly true but less important).
The main point is that this is no "mistake" and no "4D chess" move. The Trump gov is not trying to "trick" anyone. Trump genuinely wants to be like Putin -- he wants to rule the US like Putin rules Russia. He is a Roosevelt to Putin's Stalin. They are both anti-European. Trump has grandiose plans for the US just like Putin has grandiose plans for Russia, so they understand each other. And Trump mostly sees the war in Ukraine as an annoying issue that he just wants to see go away -- so it is easier and quicker to put pressure on the weaker party and just get it over with.
That is not to say Trump completely "supports" Russia either. 1. He still sees them as a rival power (frenemies), although he sees them as less of a problem than Europe (he dislikes Europe far more). 2. He still has to navigate political realities in the US, so he can't directly support a Russian war against Europe, Roosevelt style (yet). Even in the deracinated MAGA movement, that would probably still be controversial (but we'll see after a couple more years of slopaganda and rubots).
So we get this stupid dance back and forth with no clear direction...
