So Putin is not only an aggressor. He is a man whose intelligence is also not so bright.
He did play nice with the Germans. He was happy to keep selling them gas and the Germans were happy to buy it.
Why do you say he didn't play nice?
I think your misunderstanding of his point is obvious. In the English language, the construct "why wouldn't he [...]" generally means "but of course that would be the natural thing for him to do."
In other words, he didn't say what you're imputing. For all this reading you've allegedly done, your grasp of basic English is surprisingly poor. If English isn't your native tongue, that's of course understandable, but aren't you American by birth?
