is absolutely correct. Lest we forget, Putin invaded Ukraine under some bullshit stamp out neo-Nazi pretense, occupied Ukrainian territory (again), bombed their cities and countryside, his army murdered their citizenry, raped women and children, and abducted tens of thousands more.

And now Trump's meeting with his good buddy to divvy up the spoils.
