Sometimes "let's step outside" is the best -- and occasionally only -- way to stop someone poking you in the chest. Not saying that's the case here, but Putin strikes me as a master at playing the long game. Perhaps being reminded of blunt facts is a working strategy?

And by the weird rules of MAD as postulated by Kissinger etall, Trump made the correct textbook reply. Putin knows where he's at now, and with his GDP = to Italy to work with, this is pretty much where it will stop. Putin will find some other venue to be a turd wipe in.
There's no shortage of real stuff to rag on Trump about, we don't need to make up things.

Trump's rant wasn't directed at Russia, he's already given up Eastern Europe to Putin. He is looking at China.
