Vladimir Putin is “destroying Russia” by not making a deal to end the war with Ukraine, Donald Trump said after his inauguration on Monday as US president for the second time. “He should make a deal … I think Russia’s going to be in big trouble,” said Trump, claiming he was preparing to meet Putin. “He can’t be thrilled, he’s not doing so well. I mean, he’s grinding it out, but most people thought that war would have been over in about one week, and now you’re into three years, right? … [Ukrainian president] Zelenskyy wants to make a deal.”

Apropos, a quick end to the war, Nat Rothschild tweeted the war would end in ten days or so due to sanctions in March 2022.
In fact, the war has made Russia and China as well as Iran much stronger economically, militarily and socially and the US and Europe far , far weaker while costing massive amounts of lives and causing huge suffering.
Trump can score a huge political win by overruling his neocon warhawks Marco Rubio and Keith Kelogg and getting a quick peace deal. He just has to be realistic about the few bargaining chips available to the West.
