What happened was incredibly bad diplomacy, but this take is frankly hysterical. The Trump administration believes cozying up to Russia will draw them away from China. The Trump administration also believes relieving sanctions will cause commodity prices to drop. And they are willing to throw Ukraine under the bus for those privileges along with some minerals. This is undeniably good for the American economy, but at a moral price.
