Trump is quiet because he has business interests in Russia. It's all about Trump, the country gets the side burner.
While I appreciate the exposure of hypocrisy, it seems to me that the issue is whether or not Trump's inaction is due, in whole or in part, to his subservience to Putin.
I think what we need to get away from is the warhawk left. Taking the long view, a subservience to the concept of business is more likely to ossify peace. Retaliation and war, only industrializes and mobilizes a standard of conflict. Someone has to put the guns down first, it doesn't matter who. And I am of course, not a fan of recent of actions by Trump in the U.S. for example, but the general inclination toward business might not necessary be a trait to castigate
