This helps dispel any talk on the cable news circuit that Trump is in the tank with Putin - even if, as you pointed out, this does not actually change that one bit. It's a stone that kills quite a few PR birds for Cheeto.

My guess is that said airfield was either ancillary, abandoned, or slated to be abandoned,
