Shades of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

Vladimir Putin had many motives to support Trump’s candidacy in 2016, if for no other reason than his dislike of Hilary Clinton. But now, in 2022, he has far more serious reasons to support Trump’s political advance, and to use all the power and resources of the Russian clandestine agencies. 

If the MAGA party wins back the house later this month, US aid and funding for Ukraine will be quickly shut off, and if Trump regains the White House in 2024, the renewed bromance concerning Ukraine will resemble nothing less than the 1939 Hitler-Stalin division of Poland.
