@Frank Apisa,
I loathe Trump...
But Trump is not as dumb as Putin.
You give Putin way much too much credit.
Stupid people lie because they are too dumb to know the truth is much greater a virtue. Putin's lies are even greater than Trump's...
The GOP and Trump's inner circle of Republican war mongers pushed Trump hard to reject nuclear deals and start a war with Iran.
Just imagine how hard Iranians would have fought to preserve the sovereignty of their homeland in the name of Allah... We would have faced the same defeat in Iran that Russia has faced and Democrats in our military would not have fought under Trump's imbecilic dictates. Trump knew that.
Trump refused to initiate this war against Iran, he had to face down his entire party of KKK islamophobes on this point..
The "only" sensible thing he did in 8 years.
Trump is not as stupid as Putin... Which does not say much...
Putin is a failure to a much greater magnitude, he is calculated to a fault.
They are both idiots but Putin takes the grand prize...
If Trump had succeeded in grabbing power, he would have led the US to ruin just as Putin has done to Russia...
But, Putin has brought Russia to the brink of collapse in a matter of months.
And all the US has had to do is aid Ukraine and stand back and watch Russia's Putin punch himself in the face...
