    This is such double speak. On what planet is Trump, commander of the worlds most powerful military and the dollar, an asset of Russia?

    Trump is merely doing what the USA always does. Make favourable outcomes for it’s corporations. Stopping the war once Ukraine was desperate and allowing Blackrock to hoover up the minerals was always the aim.

      If his actions benefit Russia is he not an asset to them? The question should be is he a Russian actor or just a useful idiot to them.

        An asset is something you own and have heavy influence on or control. I.e. Israel is an USAian asset, nazarbaev was a Russian asset.

        This is just two powers taking their spoils. Russia spent a lot on this war , as did the usa. Now they want récompense.

        Putin is a rational actor, not some demon. He is working with Trump because it benefits Russia in this instance.
