Have to say that on some level I enjoy the idea that Trump is more practical than Putin. Three years into Russia slugging away in a war both unwinnable and unnecessary, at the cost of destroying its economy and exposing its military as easy for NATO to roll, I think we actually do have to conclude Americans are led by the smarter stupid villain.
The oil obsession seems to fit perfectly. His obsession with oil fits perfectly with his pigheaded opposition to the alternatives which are becoming ever cheaper, but only after Trump's mind had completely closed, what there is of it.
