Russian infiltration of the GOP has without question been the greatest intelligence victory in history. It's literally the only thing keeping the Russian government from collapse.
Russians are literally writing US foreign policy, they have more power projection in DC than in Kyiv LMAO

Präzise was ich seit Ende 2022 gesagt habe.
“Incrementalism in military aid disrupted Ukraine’s battlefield momentum and provided time for Russian forces to adapt; it gave the Kremlin time to surge Russia’s defense industrial base…reduced domestic pressures on Putin…masked Russia’s weaknesses, and undermined America’s policies.”
As ISW’s Nataliya Bugayova writes, Putin counts on offsets — using operations and partnerships in one region to offset the limits of Russia’s capability in another. (1/7)

Russia rolls out a surrender deal for Ukraine => Trump insists Ukraine must sign => An enormous joint diplomatic effort by Europe + Ukraine + some Americans is needed to transform the deal into something acceptable => Russia refuses to sign.
Rinse and repeat.

Ze schien nicht der Meinung der großen Mehrheit des Kommentariats zu sein, dass die Europäer (und er) nun auf Distanz zu Trump gehen sollten - er blieb vielmehr weiterhin unglaublich diplomatisch, und das Resultat der Genfer Verhandlungen gibt ihm vorerst recht. Der Mann hat Nerven aus Stahl.
⚡️ Update: 'Something good just may be happening,' Trump says after US-Ukraine peace consultations.
Trump hinted at "big progress" in peace efforts after the U.S.-Ukraine talks in Geneva, saying: "Don't believe it until you see it, but something good just may be happening."

The more that members of the Trump administration talk, the more it sounds as if Plan A to stop the war was to coerce Ukraine into capitulation and Plan B was to keep repeating Plan A until it worked. When it became apparent that wasn't going to happen, they were out of ideas.
