Trump didn't simply *not* defend American interests. He worked *harder* to help Russia get an edge over the United States when it came to killing U.S. troops.
With their puppet in place, it's no surprise that Russia pushed its advantage. And Trump helped - against his own Dept. of Defense.

The Pentagon told Trump U.S. troops were threatened by a Taliban armed by the Kremlin.
Trump's response? Try to tell the Kremlin WHAT HE KNEW ABOUT THEIR TERRORISM SUPPORT, so they could no doubt hide their culpability.

As President of the United States. As soon as he took office.

SECDEF James Mattis informed Trump of Russian attempt to arm those ready to kill U.S. soldiers (note: the full-on cash bounties came later) and Trump's response was always the same:
Give Moscow our intelligence. For free.
