Unfortunately I think Putin sees big cracks in the Euro, NATO, US alliance.
At the very least there is the appearance that the traditional alliances are fragile and in diplomacy appearances count.
Hopefully Trump will not learn the hard way that private beatings are better than public dressing down and that there are consequences to verbal abuse of other leaders. Those things have a way of coming back to bite you.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
