Is Putin scared of Trump?

“All this stuff about how he says Putin’s smart – that’s why he’s a genius!” Mr Giuliani said of Mr Trump, who recently admitted that he was surprised that Mr Putin’s military buildup on the Ukrainian border had been a prelude to striking some unspecified deal.

“Course he says he’s smart. ‘Hey, Vladimir, you’re really really smart,’ and then he’ll go on and say – He authorised me to say this, or I wouldn’t say it, as his lawyer.

“So, he has a meeting with Putin and he tells him, they’re talking about Ukraine and he says, “Vladimir, you shouldn’t, like, attack Ukraine, cause then I’m gonna – well I never liked those big – what are those things you’ve got in Moscow? Those big bubbles, those big gold bubbles. I never liked those things. So, I’m going to have to blow ‘em up.

“So, Putin says, ‘They’re churches.’ And he said, ‘Oh, Vladimir. Don’t tell me that about churches. Oh, come on. Churches? You can fool Bush, you can’t fool me. Churches, you care about churches?’ That’s what he’s like.”

As an autocratic dictator, Putin isn't afraid of anyone. He deserves to be removed from office.

Putin loves Trump. He loves any patsy. He just miscalculated when he assumed Trump would be reelected in 2020.

Is the OP taking dumb pills down under?

And Hamas/Israel also were quiet until Trump left too.

Hamas decided to act upon the election of Netanyahu. It had nothing to do with Trump or Biden,or John Smith being President.

Netanyahu made it very clear during his election campaign about his views of what needed to be done to Hamas. They just decide to act first.

Putin wanted Trump elected to a second term, since he was going to invade Ukraine one way or the other. Putin knew that with Trump in power, there would be a split in NATO. That split is what Putin has been working for since 2012.

“We have a bilateral relationship that has deteriorated to its lowest point in recent years,” Putin said, according to an NBC translation of excerpts of an interview broadcast on Friday.

Putin characterised the former US president Donald Trump as “an extraordinary individual, talented individual”, but impulsive, and said Biden, as a career politician, was “radically different” from the “colourful” Trump.

“It is my great hope that, yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements on behalf of the sitting US president,” he said, according to a translation by NBC News.

There's also a quote where Putin said he likes Biden because he's a career politician, and that Trump was too impulsive.
They all like predictable politicians, and Trump is the opposite of that....
That's why no wars until Biden came :/

Are you referring to this quote:

The truth is, if you want an end to war, aside from a big gigantic smoking crater, you have to be able to talk.

The truth is, if you want an end to war, aside from a big gigantic smoking crater, you have to be able to talk.

You also have to have the tiniest skerrick of respect for the honesty of the guy on the other side of the table. Do you trust Putin. I do, I trust him to be an ego-maniacal liar and serial murderer, who will break any and every agreement he ever made this side of his own death.
