Why Trump Plays “Nice” With Putin

George Friedman Discusses:

Putin miscalculated in Ukraine — badly.
He expected a quick victory and ended up with a military failure, a shattered economy, massive casualties, and even an attempted coup.

He’s cornered.
And cornered leaders don’t back down unless you give them a way out.

That’s why Trump’s tone toward Putin is so deliberate.
It’s not admiration — it’s strategy.
He’s trying to create space for an honorable exit, because without that, the war drags on and the stakes get higher.

Sometimes the fastest path to peace
is giving your opponent a door they can walk through.
