Snyder: Trump is very much on Putin’s side. He keeps saying Russia has to win, will win, or has already won — but none of that is true.
Trump moved a lot of American power onto Russia’s side, and still Russia has not won. Russia is losing the war. 1/
Snyder: America has two negotiators, and neither is a diplomat: the president’s son-in-law and the president’s friend.
In any other country, that would look corrupt and impossible to work. It has already failed with Ukraine and Iran. 2/
Snyder: Trump took the United States and made it much less powerful. China was never going to catch up unless Trump became president.
Now America has losses in science, education, and a war it should never have fought — so Trump goes to Beijing to beg. 3/
Snyder: Trump gives dictators false confidence. No one can “give” China Taiwan, but Trump creates a situation where China might do something stupid.
He creates a probability field around himself where people are more likely to make bad decisions. 4X
