As we draw closer to September 1, it will be interesting to see if Trump amps up the pseudo tough-guy rhetoric. Should that be the case, the media will run with nightly special broadcasts of "Will it come to war?" Pay close attention to which MAGA Republicans go on the air frequently, begging the president and for cooler heads to prevail while criticizing "warmongering" Democrats for standing with Ukraine and NATO. Those will be the politicians most in the bag for Putin.
