Somehow everything the US does is in Putins benefit.

• Pressuring Ukraine and stopping weapon deliveries? check (I would find it fucking funny that Trump practically begged Ukraine to stop hitting russian oil refineries and blaming them for the high diesel price if it weren’t that aggravating. No, i don’t think they will do that - attack cadence was about one refinery hit every 3 days since the start of the year, and that will get worse, not better. Russians are gonna start driving with moonshine instead of fuel soon, because at least they can make moonshine themselves)
• pushing the oil price into the stratosphere and removing sanctions on russian oil to make Putin profit from the oil he can normally only sell at steep discounts? check
• working together in meddling in Brazil to get Bolsonaro’s son elected? check
• destabilizing NATO? check

Edit: I forgot!

• wasting tons of PAC3 interceptors on cheap drones to make sure Ukraine can’t buy any? check

Edit 2: The news are giving me even more points to add!

• The US cutting out large european NATO allies out of a conference in fucking Poland
