President Donald Trump said he is “strongly considering” issuing large-scale sanctions and tariffs on Russia to get a ceasefire and settlement deal on the table to end the war in Ukraine.

It is the same logic he used his first term when he made the deal with the Taliban to pull US troops out of Afghanistan. It was never going to work but he thought it looked good. The fact he lost and Biden got stuck with the aftermath was a bonus.
I never understood the criticism of Bidens handling of Afghanistan. He was given an impossible deadline (due to Trump) and followed through with what I imagine is minimal casualties. And at the end of the day, he did what three other president’s coudlnt do, which was get us out of there.
It doesn’t make sense because it isn’t supposed to. That is the point.
If Trump had one in 2020 he would have been left with the same situation but his base would have praised him regardless of what he did.
