42. It's not up to him.

Trump is at a major conflict between what Putin wants and what the Imperialist arm of the Republican establishment wants.

When the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee chairman subpoenaed Trump Jr. , that was a shot across Trump's bow. "Give us our war or we'll take you down".

However, Trump is also in debt to Putin, and he cannot cross him. Putin needs to project Russia's imperialist ambitions on the world stage in order to maintain power at home.

In the end, Trump is a con man who doesn't pay back his debts. He just finds another sucker to bail him out and keep going. This time though, there are no other suckers to bail him out.
