** Trump Appeases Putin While Invading US Cities
By Will Marshall
------------------------------------------------------------
PPI Founder and President
for The Hill ([link removed])

Ukrainians are freezing and dying in the dark ([link removed]) this winter as Russian missiles and drones relentlessly pound their power plants and other civilian targets. You’d expect Americans, who fought for eight long years to win their independence from another colonial power, would side instinctively with Ukraine.

And they do. Most — now including a majority of Republicans ([link removed]) — favor sending more U.S. military assistance to Kyiv. Yet President Trump seems less moved than peeved by Ukraine’s stubborn resistance to Russia’s savage war of conquest and refuses its defenders weapons they desperately need to even the odds.

It seems the president values his unrequited man-crush on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin ([link removed]) more than the trivial matter of Ukrainians’ freedom. This week, Trump made a mockery of his own “Board of Peace ([link removed]) ” for Gaza by inviting ([link removed]) the Kremlin warlord to join.

Perhaps to impress his bellicose pal, Trump has turned to war. He’s attacked Venezuela. He threatened to bomb Iran ([link removed]) again if it doesn’t stop killing protesters. And in a fit of pique ([link removed]) over not winning a Nobel Peace Prize, he vowed to seize Greenland by force before backing off ([link removed]) in a bizarre speech to world leaders Wednesday in Davos.
