    The Kursk operation was a mistake from the beginning. No doubt it was Zelensky's idea.
    Yep, yep.

    How Putin hoodwinked American conservatives

    It’s unfortunate that some populist conservatives in the West have bought into the myth that Russia is a haven for “traditional values.” This fairytale is nothing more than Kremlin-sponsored propaganda, and it bears little resemblance to the realities of Russian society, where divorce, abortion and secularism are widespread.

    Russia’s self-anointed status as a defender of global conservatism can be traced back to 2011, when anti-government protests erupted following the country’s rigged parliamentary elections. These disruptions threatened to topple the autocratic rule of Russian President Vladimir Putin, but were eventually suppressed.
    Article content

    Putin’s governance subsequently became more jingoistic and anti-western. By directing the nation’s anger outward and fostering an atmosphere of permanent besiegement, the president was able to effectively draw attention away from his domestic shortcomings and stagnating economy. He fixated on the LGBTQ+ community, associated it with foreign interference, and passed laws curtailing both.

    ...

    Ideologically des ute, some Republicans treated foreign policy as an extension of America’s culture wars — they allied with Moscow, a geopolitical rival, simply so they could vanquish woke culture domestically. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, only accelerated this realignment.

    As of now, a considerable number of Republican influencers, particularly those affiliated with Trump, portray Russia and Putin as the defenders of family and God. They are the modern analogue to the socialist traitors who, decades ago, forsook their own countries to pledge allegiance to a Russia that never existed — only this time, it is the clergy, not the proletariat, that are being romanticized. But the useful idiots are being duped, again, because Russia is no more a conservative utopia than the Soviet Union was a socialist one.

    JD Vance's Cousin Who Volunteered to Fight for Ukraine Speaks Out

    ...

    "We are Vladimir Putin's useful idiots," Nate Vance told French newspaper Le Figaro, accusing his first cousin and the U.S. president of ambushing Zelensky in the Oval Office.

    A former U.S. Marine, Nate Vance said he volunteered for Ukraine's Da Vinci Wolves First Motorized Battalion after Russia's full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. He said he was drawn to Ukraine by curiosity and a sense of adventure but also felt a strong urge to help—whether through logistics or medical support.

    "I could see that history was being written in front of me, and I wanted to be part of it," he said.

    Nate Vance said he fought in some of the war's bloodiest battles, including those in Kupiansk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Pokrovsk. He said he returned from Ukraine in January before his cousin's swearing-in as vice president, adding that it had become too risky to stay.

    They're gonna take the deal to Putin now.

    Putin will never give up nothing more than a token amount of land he's taken in the (last 3 years)...with Crimea off the count table.

    Then it's back to Z for his approval.

    Grim business as Putin considers these facts.

    He doesn't want to push his hand too far, he can stop here, give back a slim amount of (wasteland) and then wait till Trump is out of office, be back at full strength/steam and start it up again...UNLESS Trump has promised NATO to Z in this bargain.

    If President Trump manages to pull this thing off, and that's a big "IF", then he should probably get the Nobel Peace Prize. They'll never give it to him though because Europe hates him, and they really hate that he's totally right on this issue.

    There's nothing for Putin to consider. Trump just got played by the neocons I'm sorry to say. Hopefully he'll walk away after this falls apart.
