He hasnt been able to so far with favors, he sure as hell hasnt paid it back with dollars.
So if he doesnt pay it back, how will Putin retaliate?
Granted, I cant be certain of the "exact" amount he owes since we are not allowed to know anything, at all, about Trump's taxes, finances, business dealings, but it is in that general neighborhood.

The main deal is Putin stole over 200 billion from everybody in Russia, not sure of the exact number, and he wants to spend it but sanctions and so on make it difficult for him to enjoy the money he stole from people he jailed or killed.
The fact that he gained his money by jailing and killing those with it is WHY rank and file republicans like him, they think he wont do it to them
