That and the Cuban Missile Crisis are the most well known examples but it was similarly close on other occasions also.

He seems to say whatever the last person he spoke to wants him to say.

Well he hasn't flipped yet, still coming out with the pro Ukraine stuff.
Either, as others have said above, he's just parroting what the last person he spoke to said (ie Zelensky) and will pivot next time he speaks to Putin.
Or, Trump doesn't like backing losers - it's possible he's receiving intelligence that Russia is badly struggling (which it has been for a few months) and can't win the war.

This is incredibly rare.
Hopefully public opinion is shifting in Russia. There are massive fuel shortages in Russia at the moment - fuel being rationed, people queuing overnight to fill their car up - maybe that kind of thing is having an impact.

Russia controls less of Ukraine now than it did 3 weeks into the war.
In the last 1,000 days they have gained 1% of Ukraine. At the cost of 1 million casualties.
Just an absurd situation and a staggering loss of life for no gain.

About as well as Ukraines counter offensive.
He probably is over Russia's oil refining capacity being reduced by ~20% along with oil prices tumbling.

I think a country with a population three times the side of the one it's invading being unable to achieve it's stated aims deserves to have the piss taken out of it. Not sure the smaller country that's holding the line for years on it's own deserves snarky comments about how well it is or isn't doing.
