That's the thing. There's a long line of hands taking turns in stroking his ego. Which one was last to do it? How long before the next one and who is it going to be? We don't know any of that.

we have no idea what they are anymore.
There's no knowing for certain, but "Trump's ego" and "Vladimir Putin" make for relatively good educated guesses.

Those interests have historically been very stable over time so it was easy to tell if you were going to be a friend or foe. But they suddenly changed with the current administration and we have no idea what they are anymore.

"America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests."
This is not new. Even England had a shakedown before WW2 support.

Literally the goal

No, he does whatever the last person who praised him tells him to do. I remember this from last time, he's really that easily manipulated.

His blood-sugar level apparently has an effect.

i'd like to think enough anti-putin republicans were ready to turn on krasnov that he flip-flopped.. but ya, this is the more likely scenario: the pentagon is gonna feed some bad intel, and a lot of ukrainians are gonna get killed as a result.

The democracy you speak of is degrading right before our eyes.

Can confirm, am American. Whole sectors of our economy depend on grants/government spending and they're very uncertain about their futures

For now. The US is proving to be unreliable on the international stage.

Who the hell wants to do anything with a leadership that constantly flip flops on everything they say, never means a thing and constantly lies?

This geriatric asshole is a one trick pony. Slap on tariff, remove the next day. Suspend aid, release the next day. I hope my country completely ditches the US and makes some new friends so we can all just ignore this asshat and get on with our lives.

Does he wake up every morning and do a d20 roll on what his opinion is going to be that day?
Seriously though, I guess he **REALLY** wants his name on the peace deal, whatever the cost, so he can go on to demand a Nobel Peace Prize. I expect him to get real pissy if he doesn't get one, whining about how Obama got one.
