Exclusive: Putin, unfazed by Trump, will fight on and could take more of Ukraine -

I underlined and bolded some salient points but they aren't particularly surprising. Rather, they are pretty much what most predicted.
My editorialized Cliff Notes:
1) Putin says "fuck your tarrifs Trump"
2) Putin adds, "But I still like you, bfff!"
3) Putin "I ain't skaret"
4) Putin "all your base are belong to us"
5) Putin "Donny you so cray cray"
6) Putin - "Just gimme what I want and we can all relax"
7) Putin under his breath "Then imma take all dey shit"
8- Putin's team - "He's nuts, just like Donny. This could end poorly"
Serious net - I've said prior a few times and admit I'm repeating myself. This ends in a coup or assassination of Putin. The two egomaniacal personalities in this dictate it won't go any other way, imo. Frankly, I'm okay with it. I think Russian oligarchs and specific military folks are probably already hatching a plan. This is bad for business, both to Russia's standing Military industrial complex strength and vodka sales.
