"After years of inflation, energy shocks, sanctions, sacrifice, dead soldiers, ruined cities, and shattered families, easing Russian oil sanctions would not be “peace” or “realism.” It would be a grotesque act of strategic grave desecration. It would reward the arsonist after Europe spent years putting out the fire. It would refill Moscow’s war chest, spit on every Ukrainian grave, humiliate every ally that absorbed the pain, and tell every dictator on Earth the same thing: just hold on long enough and America will eventually fold, flinch, or sell out its own side. That is not diplomacy. That is the liquidation sale of Western credibility. That is NATO turned into a coupon code. That is Congress laundering surrender in broad daylight. Europe paid in money. Ukraine paid in blood. And Trump wants to hand the butcher a refill."

If Trump were a Russian plant...an agent cultivated since the 1980s, what would he do differently? If it walks like duck and quacks like a duck...
