Russia’s dictator, steeped in myth, couldn’t care less that ‘too many people are dying’ in Ukraine.

Most of the article is behind a paywalll, but the headline and first paragraph imply that Trump does care that people are dying. With a premise so ridiculous, it is hard to understand how this shit got published. The people who care about ukraine or human life in general lost the election.

Wall Street Journal was purchased by Murdoch a few years aback.

The funny thing is that the Journal lost a lot of actual Wall Streeters, who dropped it in favor of the NY Times.

The people who need to make important business deals want reliable facts.

In the second paragraph the author admits that concern about human lives sounds disingenuous coming from Trump.

Yeah, I read that too. It sounded more like everyone knows Trump is full of shit, so his claims of concern just sound bogus. He's hoping Trump learned a lesson about dealing with Putin, which we all know didn't happen.
