Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”
Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

The steady stream of reports about “progress” in peace talks can make a misleading impression. 3 things to remember:

2) Putin has shown no interest in compromise;
3) All sides are at pains to show Trump that they are interested in a deal.
