This might be far fetched, but as events in the US tighten around

TFG, PutiN creates chaotic distractions like an implied invasion of Ukraine.

1. I don't think Putin cares much about TFG any more, now that he's out of power.

There are plenty of other GOPers who can be just as easily bought, and probably have been already. Putin wants someone in power who won't oppose him, but that doesn't have to be TFG, who is becoming more irrelevant every day.

2. You might be on to something.

I kinda figured Putin considered TFG disposable…but maybe there’s more to the story.

4. Putin discarded TFG like a used tissue

TFG no longer matters to Putin.

7. I hope he sticks to Putin's shoe

ah... memories

5. With TFG out of power, Putin has to step up his own game.

6. It's not far-fetched, it's part of the plan.

And it's not for the main purpose of helping MF45. Putin almost certainly doesn't give a rat's ass about him. It's just adding to the chaos and problems we have.
