      Exactly. He’s serious about wasting everyone’s time and distracting from his attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure. He’s serious about flattering Trump with delusions of grandeur about a 19th century gilded age of “spheres of influence” so that the US abandons Ukraine.

      Putin still has a lot to worry about though. The European sleeping dragon is getting restless.
