As Judas Trump blunders about, betraying friends, rewarding enemies and smashing the global crockery, one cold-eyed certainty remains: in their dysfunctional, deeply dubious relationship, Putin is the dominant partner. Trump is Putin’s bitch. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The most threatening prospect, for western democracies, is the idea, discussed by Rubio, of an emerging troika of authoritarian superstates – the US, Russia and China – dominating and dictating a new world order. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

North Korea is a likely winner, too. Putin may win a freer hand in Syria, the Sahel and central Asia. Facing an emboldened Beijing, Trump may give Taiwan the Kyiv bum’s rush. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If it lasts, and that’s a big “if” given fickle Trump’s record, this US-Russia reset may remake the geopolitics of the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Iran stands to gain, unless, as Tehran fears, Putin sells it out to Israel. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Putin now says the US is more like a partner, run by people with a “pragmatic, realistic worldview” who are discarding “stereotypes, so-called ‘rules’ and the messianic, ideological cliches of their predecessors”. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Poland and the Baltic states understandably fear they may be next. The US nuclear umbrella is in doubt, too, which has led Emmanuel Macron to revive his idea of a pooled Anglo-French deterrent. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Much flows from this, none of it good for Britain and Nato. Ukraine’s capitulation is now a shared US-Russia war aim. Trump is trying to bully Zelenskyy and stampede Europe into a deal without credible security guarantees. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump was referring to the past investigations into Russian collusion. Plainly, he sees Putin, an indicted war criminal and mass murderer, not merely as role model but as personal friend and fellow victim of political persecution www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump betrayed his warm feelings for Putin during his Oval Office put-up row with Zelenskyy. Asked why Putin would keep his word in any peace deal when he never has before, Trump exploded www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This dumb patsy likes the strongman vibe. He’d like to be a dictator, too. He admires how Putin terminates opponents “with extreme prejudice”, as in Apocalypse Now. Except in this twisted White House remake, JD Vance is mad, bad Colonel Kurtz. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Whatever Trump’s reasons, the shocking truth is that Putin owns him now, even if he didn’t own him before. The US has switched sides. Trump boasts, self-incriminatingly, that he alone has inside information about Kremlin intentions. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Supporters say Trump is a master dealmaker and peacemaker. Phooey! He has already offered crucial Ukraine giveaways to Putin, for zero return. Remember his North Korea and Afghanistan fiascos? And look at Gaza. How’s that going, Comrade Krasnov? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Another is that the US should not have to fight Europe’s wars. Answer: it doesn’t. It fights its own wars on other people’s territory, out of self-interest. It always has. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If Trump is not Russia’s stooge, what explains his epic volte-face? Apologists offer several excuses. One is that Ukraine is not America’s problem. Nonsense. Unprovoked armed aggression against a sovereign democratic state is every free nation’s problem. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Candidate Trump praised Putin at the time as a “strong leader” while claiming never to have met him. Previously, he said he had. He’s less coy now. Their phone call on 12 February lasted 90 minutes – and changed the world. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
