This is all so obvious, and yet needs to be constantly repeated. Russia is a tyrannical regime, guilty of mass murder and war crimes in Ukraine.

OK, sent out this free piece on the details of the Trump "final" plan for Ukraine that has been seen by Axios. The 5 points have basically been dictated by Putin. They set up a process which would allow Russia to expand into all of its neighbors.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Russia is the aggressor. It is Russia's war.
Until the United States recognizes reality it cannot be a mediator, conduct negotiations or participate in any peace process. It's impossible to ignore Russia's culpability and practice diplomacy.

Trump may not know or understand how badly he is being humiliated by Putin; if he does understand, he has a surprisingly high tolerance for it, which seems inconsistent with other aspects of his personality. Others in the White House may simply not care.
