On Trump, Putin, and Their Wars

The contrast could not be starker; Putin is still grinding away in Ukraine after more than four years, while Trump cut and ran after four months. What does that tell us about the two men?

If you despise Trump, his Iran fiasco proves yet again that he is a self-absorbed bully who retreats and betrays his allies any time he meets serious resistance. If you’re a Trump admirer, you say that, unlike Putin, he is a flexible pragmatist who knows how to cut his losses and spin them as victories.

In this case, I would say that both statements are true.
