    Putin has been blackmailing Trump, Trump is following orders. It by far the most logical explanation, and is common knowledge in the intelligence community. He has alienated all of America’s traditional allies, halted all support of Ukraine, exempted only Russia from tariffs, removed the protections against foreign interference. Soon you will see sanctions and travel bans lifted
