He's not a warmonger he is incompetent and quite unable to tackle world problems and to run the leading world power and his interaction with with world leaders including Putin have revealed just how impotent USA has become in recent decades.
Putin now realizes that, as he always knew NATO is a toothless dog and will back down in the face of any severe challenge, and now he knows that Trump can be bought with money who knows what will happen.
Putin knows Trump is a crook/gangster and not motivated by any philosophical aims or Nationalistic dreams like Putin, he can be bought, all he wants is dollars in the bank account especially now with the court cases he is being prosecuted with.
If America doesn't back down over Ukraine I think it is quite possible that we will see limited nuclear war especially with incompetent Trump in charge who will misread many situations and precipitate Putin into testing the Wests resolve.
With a strong and competent American president, who probably doesn't exist at the moment, Putin would back down but Trump definitely isn't that man.
M.A.D. is only a viable deterrent when participants are both formidable opponents with strong leaders. N.A.T.O. is not a credible opponent for Russia and will back down when Putin challenges them, which he is doing now.
Of course this is just my analysis and may be inaccurate, but I have been watching international politics for years and this is my gut feeling after seeing recent events and also following Trump in the background for years.
Did you know that when Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones in his younger days met Trump at a party the Stones held, he wanted to take a knife to him he hated Trump so much on first impressions.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
