Was thinking about the erratic behaviour of Trump when it comes to Russia and the conflict in Ukraine. He goes round and round bashing and polishing all the participants alternately, Ukraine, EU and co., Russia...
Some call this "pendulum" as he swings back and forth between the two poles, from the nice words and everything great to the blaming and harsh words.
Only the "not my war biden war never have happened if i was in power i gave the javelins i helped the most" mantra is the same. But this is the least relevant part to anything, just noise, just fogging up the lense.
What he is doing is the Persuasion policy, the carrot and the stick. On everyone, but first and foremost on Russia.
