Or, it's clever of Stubb to be planting these suggestions in the mind of Putin, because Putin absolutely needs to keep Trump loyal and on side. No, the puppet regime is not going to impose real sanctions on Russia… but Putin may believe a backstab is imminent, even if it's not true.
It would be very in character for a Finn to get a terrifyingly lucky snipe against Russians. This IS the weak point of the Putin regime: blind committment to conspiracy above all else. Why not sow dissent among the conspirators?
2/According to him, Trump is extremely irritated by the actions of the Russian Federation, its manipulations and the delay in the negotiation process.
“I explained that this is typical behavior: first they agree, and then they set new conditions,” — Stubb.
Don't forget that trump is doing the same thing. From one day to another he can turn a statement up side down. I thought putin and trump had an agreement that such behavior is the best way to confuse their opponents?
Only Trump is stupid enough and easily manipulated enough to believe anything that Putin says. Just sanction the Russian economy out of existence already.
I saw a comedian refer to trump as an intellectual roomba... he changes ideas based on the last person he bumped into. The Finnish president seems to be doing the lord's work

How long is the preparing process?
I thought there was already a mechanism/layout for that ?
