He is doing what putin tells him.
And to those who say that Russia and Iran are allies. Russia was never a true ally with anyone, it is just partnership of convenience. US destroying itself in Iran has massive benefit for Russia.
And the fact that US did this and also lifted sanctions on Russia and Belarus is clear demonstration that US is ruled by Russian agent.
Please just think about this for 5 minutes.
Russia's economy is about the same size as California's. They can no longer afford the President, Russia needs to step it up and give him a jet, a few hotels, or something to compete.
It's all legal, none of this matters.
They bribed him since 80s and probably have more on him than it is in Epstein files.
through him likely, they have infilitrated the GOP since then, moscow mitch, rand paul i believe,,,etc. and everyones "favorite" tulsi gabbard.
What more could there be?
If Trump would be a liability the billionaires would start an impeachment. Trump and the files are the distraction.
The files show that nothing happens, no matter the accusation. Russia can't blackmail Trump. Blaiming Russia for Trump is just helping Americans to accept Trump because they don't have to feel responsible.
The US has been buying Uranium, and I think even oil, the entire time from Russia, despite the sanctions. Lifting sanctions for other countries just prevents that they start decoupling from the US.

Putin is not telling Trump to invade Putin's ally, Iran. Even if it will hurt America, Putin does not want that, obviously.
Utterly brain-dead take.
LOL, so he lifted sanctions on Russia, Belarus and now Iran: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-authorizes-temporary-delivery-sale-oil-originating-iran-2026-03-20/
We're all aware of what he's done, doesn't change the outcome.
Every single thing he did, even thing that initially looked like would hurt Russia, long term ended up benefitting putin.
If it looks like he might be hurting Russia by some action then just wait, soon we discover something we didn't know at the time that changes the picture completely.
Another thing is that a lot of people say he is unpredictable. If you start asking yourself how given action could help Russia he isn't really that unpredictable.
He's attacking Venezuela and Iran, and threatening Cuba. None of that helps Russia.
The sanctions he's lifting on Russia demonstrate how disastrous the war has been and do help Russia (as does an increase in oil prices). But cutting off a producer of Shaheds does not, isolating Russia on the world stage by hurting its allies does not, continuing to (mostly) allow Ukraine to use American intelligence does not, etc.
I dunno whether people who spout this are conspiracy brained or just don't think about it much but either way, please think.
Venezuela - he removed Maduro (who wasn't even effective leader) and replaced him with the same Russian friendly regime. Now Venezuela has pretext to cut China (including its investments) and have less sources of oil (increase dependence on Russia)
Iran - he replaced 86 years old Khamenei who (in Iranian standards was chill and open to make deals with US) with 56 years old much more radical Khamenei Jr. Every armchair exists knew that Iran would block Strait of Hormuz, and even Iran themselves said that they will close it and start shooting at neighbors in the event of attack. Again, Strait of Hormuz provided majority of oil to Asia, especially China. Now for strange reasons trump also lifted sanctions on Russian oil, which wouldn't affect price only allowed Russia to charge more for it. Also Russia is domestically producing Shaheds, they don't need Iran for that.
Cuba - hard to talk about it, as this haven't happen yet, he just blocked oil import to them, but I will be shocked if this somehow will lead to them having a democratic government. Frankly though I don't think Russia cares about Cuba that much.
The Russia already sells their oil on global market, lifting sanctions doesn't increase amount of oil for the rest of the world, all it does is allows Russia to sell at higher price. You can call it a dumbass move, but his dumbass moves always benefit Russia somehow.
Shaheds as I mentioned earlier are now produced domestically in Russia, they no longer need Iran for that.
With the American intelligence it is actually no clear information. I saw article saying they actually sharing it to help targeting Russian oil infrastructure, then from the same time there's article that US was promising that will share intelligence.
The fact that US was asking Ukraine to stop after it hit hub in Novorossiysk tells me that the intelligence sharing was just bullshit. In fact what kind of intelligence US could share about those terminals. They don't have wheels and their locations aren't secret. What kind of information would US provide about then that Ukraine wouldn't have from their agents that are inside of Russia? It is bullshit information to help with narrative that he is somehow neutral.
I woulda encourage you to take your advice yourself. You are writing it assuming others didn't see the information that you have when in reality you are missing things. Like for example Russia has production of shaheds, it modified them to work better and now it's providing them to Iran to his US bases.
Yeah? Tell me which country benefits most from the current situation? What has Iran to offer right now when Russia is producing their Shaheds domestically? Do you even think Russia would want Iran on any new countries to have nukes? The only thing putin cares is Iran seeing US and the West as their sworn enemies.
You know very little about Russia and recent events if you believe there are any agreements or alliances Russia honors.
