Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin.
At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.
In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.

Let me state the obvious.
Ending the war is very easy.
Putin must cease his attacks on Ukraine and stop the war that he started.
But Putin has no intention of ending the war, and we do not have any quick and easy ways to influence him.
We see no proof that Putin is interested in real peace.
