      We could offer to shut down their military sites, but that’s probably what Putin wants us to do.

      It has to appeal to his ego. We rejected his bid to build a casino in Sydney decades ago, and now that casino is going bankrupt, so we could let him “save” it by buying it out. No doubt he’ll lose money on it anyway, we get a fat investment and tariffs dropped. Shittty deal for Trump but he won’t care if it gets his name on a building with Sydney Harbour views.
