This might just be a fake-out, but if not Putin will jerk the chain hard.

shithole speaks with forked tongue.

Tell your butt buddy Putin "Stop the war or the US will give UKR everything it wants & with NO restrictions"

talks, we all know he's lying.

he covets so desperately - except that would guarantee he won’t have a chance.

That idiotic traitor will do anything for approval from Putin.

Russia is already sanctioned up the wazoo. Prove you care more about Ukraine than your bromance with Putin and stop bitching about how this isn’t your war. Unwavering military support for Ukraine is how this ends, not economic slaps on the wrist.

as term one when Trump was NATO bashing and fawning over his pal, then facing some blowback at being caught out being influenced he attacked Putin to show his independence- without changing any of his pro-Putin actions. Same sleazy way of denial and asserting his independence when his actions make the "indignation" meaningless. Probably came out when the NYT made "news" discovery that gee, gosh, golly, if not a Russian agent, Trump might as well be for all his actions? Putin does not take that too seriously, but how much patience does he have for Trump's cowardly sensitivity?

What Trump is probably saying is that "don't you dare try to play me(with that file)" then go back to more intense Ukraine bashing to prove he is still Putin's puppet.

As one poster above already stated - Russia is already sanctioned to the max. That wad is shot. The horse has
left the barn.

IOW, this is just an empty threat so Trump can make himself appear tough. That's the sum total. Our deliberately OBTUSE media cannot convey this simple fucking concept to people. I guess because our citizenry are fucking simpletons.
Meaningless. Meaningless. Trump knows it. Putin knows it. Every time I hear this it's like 'Ooooh now Trump's really going
to do something!'

I'll wait patiently while someone in the MSM calls him out on this.
