Sure it's grotesque to see Trump lying and gaslighting about Russia-Ukraine. But it's far more disgusting to see all the other politicians and journalists who KNOW he's lying say "oh that's just Trump being Trump" - sweeping it under the rug, as if truth doesn't matter at all.
The political leaders of Europe are every bit as guilty as Caligula Trump. It is 11 years since Russia invaded Ukraine and we've now had 3 years of full-scale war, and these fucking people are STILL dragging their feet about defense.
They have had plenty of time to do something, but they kicked the can down the road, waiting for someone else to come in... and now that "someone" has come in, but instead of negotiating an end to the war he is trying to plunder what's left of Ukraine, acting like a grave robber... But that is on Biden and the European leaders for not doing anything but "wait and see" for three whole years.

Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting. Putin added that discussions were happening "almost on a daily basis." "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world." It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee.
