Gentlemen,
 Please let's try to bear in mind that one of Trump's big election
pledges was to wash America's hands of any more foreign conflicts and
bring peace IRO the Ukraine/Russia war. By now he should have no more
than a passing disinterest in what's going on there. 'Let Europe sort
their own problems out' is essentially what he said.
I'm just saying keep that stated stance in mind going forward and see
what actually happens.....

So far he hasn't brought peace to the Ukraine in 24 hours.
He doesn't seem to have a problem with Russia's desire to annex the Ukraine - after all Trump wants to annex Panama, Canada and Greenland.
The rest of the world doesn't see that as acceptable behavior.
Putin's habit of assassinating inconvenient people doesn't encourage more sensible world leaders to extend Putin's sway. Trump's bizarre enthusiasm for murderous dictators seems to blind him to this particular danger.
