8. My opinion: Trump has greenlighted Putin to go all in

Despite his public demands for a ceasefire. Perhaps with the caveat, or threat, that eventually he'll have to relent and side with Ukraine and Europe. Or at least get serious about a real ceasefire and negotiations. If......if Putin can't take Ukraine by, say, summers end. Because Trump only sides with winners. And of course he assumes the biggest country, the one with the vastly bigger army and equipment, is the one with the "cards"

So he is pressuring Putin, on the phone, to INCREASE the onslaught. To force Zelensky to give up land for peace earlier than later

So he can crow about it and demand his Nobel prize
