It's very true this is a complex Issue. However, the U.S also possesses a Nuclear arsenal that can lay waste to Russia many times over. However, The fallout from a Nuclear exchange would destroy much of the planet. I think Putin feels that Trump is very unpredictable. I think Trump and Putin loathe each other and I don't think any kind of a deal with Putin is possible.

It's sad to say but I think you're right. I really can't blame them for feeling that way, either.
