2. Putin isn't cooperating, even after Trump's decades of groveling sycophancy.

Trump doesn't give a damn about Ukraine, except that he said he could end the war on Day One with a phone call, which isn't happening because Putin wants Ukraine a lot more than he wants Trump sucking his d&ck all the time. Not to mention the fact that Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize so desperately that he can taste it, mostly because Obama got it, and that's not happening either. Since Trump has only two settings - fawning adoration and furious retribution - and fawning adoration didn't get him what he wanted, he has to switch to furious retribution.
