Probably, but he is still confused, because there is a huge difference between keeping Syria under Assad and attacking Iran.
So I was taking the piss, because he kind of begged for it.
The point is that Putin does not control Trump. Putin likes Trump and is willing to help him where there’s no conflict with Trump’s interests but Putin doesn’t have to allow Trump to do things.
Putin likes Trump and is willing to help him where there’s no conflict
You see the problem there? That’s exactly the problem, because Trump helps Putin over and over again, where there are HUGE conflicts with American interests. While Putin has never compromised anything for Trump. It’s a 100% one way relationship, that has ONLY helped Putin. In that relationship everything Putin does serves Putin alone, everything Trump does also helps Putin.
Clearly not everything Trump does helps Putin. Attacking Venezuela and Iran does not help Putin at all. You’re confusing American interests with Trump’s interests. I specifically said that Trump is willing to help Putin as long as it doesn’t impact Trump’s interests. Trump will sacrifice Americans for Putin any day but he will not sacrifice his money.
So as I said: Trump likes Putin and is willing to help him but Putin does not control him.
He clearly meant ‘overestimate’.
