"Don't mess with me or I WILL CUT YOU!" Like a thug in a back alley with a knife up to your throat.

And this situation is multifaceted when you ask what's in it for Trump and his lover boy, Putin.

There are so many angles and factors coming into play and revealed that, it's like potato chips, you can't eat just one.

If he feels himself losing his grip on power, he will do all those things he's wanted to do for three years but been held back from doing by advice from others. He did try to abandon the Kurds months ago but reversed himself. He likely owes this to Putin. Anything may be possible now. He's going to "show us all" for daring to impeach him, and even his inner circle won't be immune from punishment.
