Short sighted and wrong, as usual
Nah, bruv. 100% spot on. Facts and all that.

Putin wouldn't have given up on the effect Trump was having on NATO until Trump lost the election. Putin thought his invasion of Ukraine would be over in weeks. It would be a dumb strategy to start moving troops into assault position in Belarus during the election as that would strengthen Biden and weaken Trump, and Trump was already weak enough.

The US election wasn’t a part of his timetable; not sure why you think that.
The only people who actually, truly think that Trump wanted to end NATO are people who don’t really understand foreign policy, incentives, what the Europeans actually spend their money on vs. what they’re supposed to spend their money on, the actual force structure of NATO militaries, so on and so forth. I think we can gather from posts here how little the left knows of many of those topics.
