Retired general: Putin will likely 'wait out' Trump term and take Ukraine

The article from MSN discusses comments made by retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling on CNN, where he suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be waiting out the remainder of Donald Trump's potential second term before making a move on Ukraine. Hertling believes that Putin perceives Trump as less likely to intervene in European conflicts, which could give Russia a strategic advantage. He highlighted that Putin's strategy might involve exploiting any perceived weakness or distraction in U.S. foreign policy under Trump, especially given Trump's past comments on NATO and his approach to international relations. This perspective comes amidst ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with implications for broader European and global security dynamics.
