Former U.S. Marine Nate Vance fought against Russia in Ukraine for years and says Russia is currently at its weakest, but Putin will use the gift of a ceasefire to rearm and continue the war. Putin isn't done. Nate is VP Vance's cousin - JD's mother and Nate's father are siblings. This statement is important, because especially some European right believes that Trump's approach is based on "rational pragmatism" - what Nate says is exactly the opposite, that Trump's approach is based on irrational and romanticised misconceptions about Putin's motives and methods, rather than hard facts.
