Trump talks to Putin on a regular basis. He has been on Putin's side on every issue, including the Ukraine War. I do not believe that Trump has "finally saw the light". In my opinion, Trump and Putin are working together to get a stop to the war, because Russia has lost a lot in this war and Putin wants it to stop, but he wants to save face. Trump will pretend to be at odds with Putin but I doubt that is what is happening?
I will be surprised if Trump continues to send weapons to Ukraine. But he will pretend he is arming Ukraine as some way to help Putin with his domestic propaganda. They are looking to stop the war but are looking for a way out. In my opinion, Trump and Putin are still working together.

Then he tells the Iran leader to go ahead and bomb our military base? But, don't kill anybody. Just show your people that you are responding to the American "aggression". Iran is an ally of Russia, also.
