Putin is the only one benefiting from the war. [View all]

If Trump is a Russian agent, as many believe, what would be their "grand plan"?

Since the war started with Iran, Trump has lifted the sanctions on Russian oil that was in transport. Russia is dependent on their oil for their economy to work and to pay for their war against Ukraine. The price of oil going up helps Putin immensely.

And what is the deal with Russia giving Iran satellite information on American troops? Trump's response, was that "they do it, we do it, everybody does it" and that's the way it is. But what about our troops? That does not seem to be a major concern of his.

Trump seems to have convinced a large part of our country that the only way we win is by losing. If he is not working for Putin, then who is he working for? Certainly not the United States.

What will be the consequences of this war? We lose American lives. We turn the world against us, including our allies. We tear the military apart with reckless missions and unnecessary wars. We tear the nation apart. The division is a winner for Putin.
