Say it ain’t so
In that Susie Wiles expose, Chris Whipple asked Marco Rubio about Putin’s intentions:
“There are offers on the table right now to basically stop this war at its current lines of contact, okay?” he said. “Which include substantial parts of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, which they’ve controlled since 2014. And the Russians continue to turn it down. And so…you do start to wonder, well, maybe what this guy wants is the entire country.”

Wiles told Whipple that Trump has always believed Putin wants the whole thing. Considering his behavior toward Zelensky, it’s pretty clear he’s fine with that. Indeed, he’s probably happy to see it — he hates Ukraine because Rudy Giuliani told him that they were behind the strategy to expose his Russia ties.
