That must really be confusing to the MAGA Putin fans.

And you believe that bullshit? Putin has been running an active campaign in support of Trump for the past 8 years. Indeed, just yesterday we learn that the source of the Burisma allegations against originated with Russian intelligence (as if there were any doubt).

Remember when Repubes were all about "free trade"? What a joke.
Plenty of others will jump at the chance to haul the loads.

Yep. The industry business model creates huge incentives for drivers to drive.

A decade ago, what Trump offered American consumers was an ostensible road map to fabulous wealth. His decision to give that up in favor of political power meant that the Trump Organization’s pitch had to change, too. No longer was he trying to present the image of a successful Manhattan business magnate but, instead, of a red-state magnate bent on reversing how America is changing.

His audience changed and so did his products. A Trump consumer is no longer someone looking to eat an elegant steak in an upscale New York hotel while smelling faintly of “Success.” Instead, it’s the sort of person who thinks buying gold shoes sends a signal of defiance to America’s institutions of power.
He is also selling patches from the suit he wore for the Fulton County arraignment mug shot.

And along the way, he has also hijacked the US flag permanently. Who would want to display the American flag in front of their homes or on their vehicles other than to claim membership in MAGA.

Putin wants Ukraine and a divided Western Alliance. Weak if not disbanded NATO.
Sanctions removed...

Need I go on?

Now ask who the Presidential candidate most likely to allow these wishes to happen would be.

You will have your answer as to the one he wants.

As fears my bet will not be the same candidate.

The Russians are probably saying WTF.
Remember General Milley had to resort to reassuring the Chinese that everything was under control.

Vlad does not want Ukraine. A divided Ukraine...yes.
Vlad knows that Western Ukraine is ungovernable from a Russian point of view.

Western Ukraine is steeped in Banderism. For many years after WW11 the Soviets lost a lot of people trying to control Western Ukraine.

Russians view the area with dread and would rather Poland deal with the Banderites.

You seem to be under the impression that Putin would stop with "eastern" Ukraine.
