When it comes to Trump, the rhetoric and contradictory fire-hose of sound bites can be distracting and divisive. They also create the impression of impulsive and capricious chaos. Let’s look at his actions instead, which show an alarming degree of consistency. His actions that can be discerned, follow an increasingly pro-Russian position.
1) Voting with Russia in both the UN General Assembly and Security Council
2) Vetoing statement by the G7 that seek to condemn Russia and create consensus
3) Vetoing G7 proposal for a task force to combat Russian shadow oil fleet
4) Cutting off military aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine, including F16 data
5) Halting offensive cyber operations against Russia
6) Dismantling American logistics base in Poland – military insurance for allies
7) Undermining NATO by casting doubt on commitment to Article 5
8) Perpetuating and amplifying Russian talking points in America’s legislatures
