Trump\u2019s tone toward Putin is growing sharper by the day: just yesterday, he doubted the Russian leader wanted the war to end, and today, he\u2019s calling him a man who constantly talks nonsense.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on? Why was Trump willing to overlook Putin\u2019s mockery of him and the repeated refusal to meet any of his demands over five consecutive phone calls \u2014 and now, right before our eyes, he\u2019s turned into a man seething with irritation? And this is only the beginning.<\/p>\n

Because Putin made mistakes in his usual style.<\/p>\n

On the eve of their sixth conversation, Trump made a significant concession to his Russian counterpart: he halted the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Before that, Russian financial institutions had been partially exempted from sanctions. And although this was formally tied to the situation in Syria, in reality, it was a clear signal.<\/p>\n

Putin should have responded with at least a show of constructiveness \u2014 declared a 48-hour or week-long ceasefire, said he was ready for talks in Istanbul as early as tomorrow, told Trump he was preparing new proposals to build on his memorandum.<\/p>\n\t\t
