The Wall Street Journal critiques former President Trump for his astonishment at Putin's aggressive behavior towards Ukraine, suggesting he is out of touch with reality. Putin's consistent ambitions to revive the Soviet empire are highlighted, emphasizing that Trump's mixed reactions—both pleading for peace and criticizing—do not alter the situation. The editorial advocates for GOP senators to rally behind new sanctions on Russian oil and gas and support arms for Ukraine, stressing that Trump's approval is not necessary for effective legislative action.
Trump's recent comments on Putin's aggression reflect a surprising naivete, suggesting he's unaware of the consistent nature of Putin's ambitions over decades.
While Trump describes Putin's behavior as crazy, the Journal highlights that he's out of touch with the long-standing reality of Putin's actions.
