Putin can flex his power by showing the world that he can ignore Trump.

Im sure Hitler would have claimed the Holocaust stemmed solely from Himmler and Heydrichs orders. Plausible deniability.
That is what hes trying to establish.

Hey, Donnie Dipshit. Putin called. He said he reserved a nice suite for you on the seventh floor of a Moscow hotel.
