Fair and accurate. Decent. Very well put. See: Tumult at home, ailing alliances abroad: Why Trump’s America has been a ‘gift’ to Putin

"Immaterial, Putin clearly neither feared nor respected the f'ing moron who stood next to him in Helsinki and said 'I don't know why they would interfere'...in our elections.
P - Putin alone knows why Trump never criticized him for a single word or action, unprecedented 'restraint' not shown by either Dubya or Obama toward Putin."

John Ullyot, a spokesman for Trump’s National Security Council, argued in a statement, “While President Trump strives for good relations with all nations, no president since Ronald Reagan has shown as much resolve toward Moscow.”

He added, “President Trump knows that peace comes through strength and we seek another path with Russia — one in which Russia refrains from aggression abroad and becomes a friendly partner to the United States and Europe.” For example, Ullyot said, the administration was “cautiously optimistic” about reaching an agreement with Russia and China on an arms-control framework to limit nuclear weapons.

An array of national security experts, both nonpartisan and those with ties to the two parties, however, say these arguments are nonsense. More than 130 Republican former military, intelligence, diplomatic and other national security officials signed a joint statement .. https://www.defendingdemocracytogether.org/national-security/ .. in August endorsing Biden because they said Trump had “failed our country,” in part because of his handling of Russian interference and alignment with Putin and other strongmen.
