There is no questioning that Putin was the winner at this and Trump the dupe.
Trump went with a hardline threat and promise he made prior that Russia agrees to a ceasefire or they get more sanctions and Ukraine gets more weapons and support.
it did actually look like Trump was finally going to get tough on Putin.
But Putin understood with one face to face meeting and some empty flattery directed at Trump that Trump would leave the status quo in place and that is exactly what happened.
Nothing has changed and instead Putin walked away with one of Trumps 'we will follow up on this two weeks', which we all know with his healthcare plan or more recent declarations to end this war in one day, means nothing will happen for months and years and Putin can continue.
You can literarily see the fawning type fondness Trump has for Putin when he looks at him, in a way he has for no allied leaders.
