from trump's calls to other world leaders. That followed rather quickly after he was forced to sign the sanctions bill.

I can't stop thinking that maybe Putin's going to start making him pay for not being the obedient vassal his Russian mentor paid for.

I think Vlad is going to expect to get the results he paid for when he helped trump win last November. Now that his boy isn't living up to the assurances he gave to his benefactor, I suspect problems could easily arise.
