View submission: Starmer announces European four-point plan to reach peace and defend Ukraine
Yeah, I’m afraid Trump doesn’t understand that he is only useful to Putin if he is seen to exert some influence in the West.
If he can’t do that and sinks into isolation, then his value as a Russian asset plummets.
Orban knows this perfectly well, which is why he will never leave the EU in spite of railing against it all the time.
Trump is pretty dumb, even by Russian asset standards.

But bringing the US to its knees is Putin’s dream.
Setting the US against its allies and gutting its democratic and social institutions from within, making it just as corrupt and inefficient as Russia, this is what Putin wants. If he can get Ukraine first then great, but if the US is no longer a threat and Europe can’t fight on multiple fronts, where will Russia move next?

Putin still has Vance as a backup plan whom he openly approved.
