It was not an energy ceasefire. It was a gift to Putin. A White House official told Axios that, as Trump understands it, the term means only that Russia and Ukraine stop attacking each other's oil refineries—and that this is what Washington expects Ukraine to do. Ukraine has one refinery, while Russia has 38, of which 21 have been targeted by Ukrainian drones.

    Yes this is a good point to bring up, it is easy to forget after seeing Trump backstab good people over and over again that Trump will backstab bad people too if he is pressured into doing so and the bad people begin to be appearing to lose.

    I genuinely have no doubt Trump wants Putin to win but this is made irrelevant by the fact that Trump is a massive fucking coward who pathologically cannot be caught being on the loser side and will always betray everybody around him to jump ship to the winning side. Just read about how pathologically Trump is incapable of losing at casual golf to other people, it is seriously fucking deranged... and then apply that to Trump being cornered into being one of Putin's last real allies and it is obvious he is going to backstab Putin too if we bully Trump enough.

    So... I make sure to do my part by calling Trump a loser for siding with losers.
