  Sure - total surrender is one way to end a war.
  But this is just another grift by Trump of the Russians who want to buy chaos in the United States.
context: There's nothing bizarre about it. Trump is backing Putin like he always does.
  Deeply frustrating journalism. Trump is being let off the hook. 
  Trump is Putin's patsy. We all know it. Journalists need to quit being afraid to mention it. >
  
  I think this is one of those stories where the writer just states the facts with as much whimsy as his editor will allow, and let’s you, the reader, draw your own conclusions. >
  
  The facts they state are woefully insufficient though.
  Its probably worth mentioning that Trump was investigated by Congress and a Special Counsel for links to Russia (with numerous links between Trump's associates and Russian officials being discovered), and impeached for withdrawing military aid for Ukraine. 
  I'd suggest that those facts are relevant.
  The reader can then decide for themselves whether he deserves the benefit of the doubt. >
  
  I’d argue facts are never insignificant, but Mike Pence almost got hanged awhile back and even he plays it down so what are you gonna do with some of these people besides actually kill them to make others see the light?
  Some would consider your additional information as “stacking the deck.”  It is really hard to write what is right and what is objective in journalism in the same sense which is why practically no one does.  
  Exchange Hitler for Putin and Great Britain for Ukraine pre December 1941 and there is not much difference in what’s going on.  Just how it’s framed now. >
  
  Yeah Putin's bitchboy says what? >
  
  No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet.
