It is clear that Americans (not only Trump, but also Biden, and locals too) fundamentally do not understand how to deal with russians.
I was having a chat with a taxi driver last winter when the electricity blackouts were really bad (I live in Ukraine). I said, we should bomb the heating/electricity generation in Norilsk in the middle of winter.
The driver tells, that's not going to work, if you do bomb russia, it has to be Moscow or at least Saint Petersburg.
To which I answer, "yes, you are right, they don't care what happens outside of Moscow or Saint Petersburg. I am stressed out and not thinking straight."
The vast majority of russians only understand believable threats and violence. You have to show them that you are able and willing to make them feel pain, otherwise they are not going to respect you or behave seriously.
And when you do show them that you are able and willing to make them feel pain, it has to be targeted primarily at their elite (i.e. Moscow and Saint Petersburg).
But since 2014, I've learned that Western elites (and not only elites) reflexively refuse to address reality. Not only Trump/Biden, the Germans with Angela Merkel too. Right after the annexation of Crimea she launched NS2. Hope she gets severe Alzheimer's.
