#1 the key event during the Trump Era was the Feb 2018 attack by Russian Mercenaries in Deir al-Zor in which some 300 of the Mercenaries were killed on the order of Trump

This probably kept Putin from acting against Ukraine until Biden was in office and, post Afghanistan, demonstrated to be a weak, ineffective and unteachable fool.
