Trump has become tired of Putin's bullshit - now
threatens much wider, damaging, sanctions - including
on 'helpers' like India.
US negotiators reported yesterday that talks were
suddenly more productive.
This sets up a direct meet between Putin and Trump
VERY soon.
Then we'll see.
Putin thinks it's his Holy Mission From Gawd to
restore the old USSR. That's hard to deal with.
He isn't the Putin that Trump remembers, there
has been a psychological shift.
Putin has taken advantage of Trump's memory ...
but it looks like that won't work anymore. Trump
is as much of a hard-ass as Putin.
