After today's phone call between Trump and Putin, it's abundantly clear that on Putin's team Trump is responsible for PR.

upd:
Trump told the leaders that Putin agreed to start direct negotiations on a ceasefire immediately. A source on the call said there were a few seconds of puzzled silence.

Zelensky then pointed out that Putin had previously agreed to negotiate, and the first round of ceasefire talks took place on Friday in Istanbul. Trump didn't directly respond, the sources said.
The sources said Zelensky and several other leaders on the call told Trump it had been his idea to start the peace talks with an immediate 30-day ceasefire.

Mr. Trump, who is in the Middle East, first said he might take a side trip to Turkey if peace talks took place. But after Mr. Putin bugged out, Mr. Trump tried to smooth over the embarrassment by saying “nothing’s going to happen until Putin and I get together.”

It’s closer to reality to say that nothing is going to happen until Mr. Putin feels he has an incentive to show up and negotiate. Mr. Putin’s no-show is the latest evidence that the Russian isn’t serious about ending the war, and it’s no surprise. Mr. Putin thinks Mr. Trump might abandon Ukraine and make it easier for him to keep taking Ukrainian territory.

Mr. Trump has made a sincere effort to broker an end to the war, but the President looks worse the longer Mr. Putin talks peace but prosecutes the war. Mr. Trump doesn’t want the world to see him looking like a supplicant to the Kremlin.

В опере Сергея Прокофьева, написанной и поставленной в конце 1930-х, врагами влюбленной пары Семена и Софьи сначала должны были быть фашисты, но после пакта Молотова-Рибентропа фашисты стали лучшими друзьями СССР и врагов сделали украинскими националистами.

Donald Trump will let Vladimir Putin keep almost all the territory he has seized from Ukraine under the terms of a proposed peace deal.

The condition is part of a seven-point plan to end the war that leaves Ukraine with no clear US security guarantee.

The Trump administration’s peace proposal involves the US offering formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea and implies de facto recognition of other occupied territories.

A source with knowledge of the plan’s contents said that its points one and two cover an immediate ceasefire and direct talks between Ukraine and Russia, which Mr Zelensky has already accepted in principle.

Point three requires Ukraine to refrain from seeking membership of Nato, though the country would still be free to join the EU.

European countries could deploy an assurance force to deter Putin from invading again, but The Telegraph understands that the plan does not commit the US to guarantee the security of any such deployment.

Point four covers territory, with America offering de jure recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, the region of Ukraine which Putin illegally annexed in 2014.

Recognising Russian control of Crimea would violate a central principle of international law – and of the post-1945 world order – that no country can annex the territory of another. If land is seized then no nation is supposed to recognise this change.


As well as some territory switching hands to Ukraine, the nuclear power station at Zaporizhzhia, the largest in Ukraine and currently held by Russian forces, would be transferred to American control.

Under point six, Ukraine would sign the minerals deal allowing US companies access to the country’s natural resources.

Point seven raises the possibility of a new relationship between America and Russia, saying that all US sanctions would be lifted and the two countries could begin to co-operate on energy.

The plan contradicts several of Britain’s stated policy objectives. As recently as Feb 14, the Prime Minister told Mr Zelensky that Britain was committed to “Ukraine being on an irreversible path to Nato” membership. This proposal would block that path indefinitely.

WSJ has an extensive article about Trump's fascination with Putin. If you don't have a subscription you can read a cached version here https://archive.is/y5r30
When President Trump met Russia’s Vladimir Putin for their first bilateral summit, in the Finnish capital of Helsinki in July 2018, the two men cloistered themselves for hours with no advisers present.

Once they emerged to a packed news conference, Trump tossed a gift from the Russian president—a soccer ball meant for Trump’s son Barron—to the front row where America’s senior-most officials sat. Trump then stunned his team by saying he believed Putin, and not America’s own intelligence services, about whether Russia interfered in the 2016 elections that brought him to power.
At the time, the public outcry in Washington—including by the Republican leadership in Congress and his own aides on Air Force One—forced Trump to change course within 24 hours. Soon, new sanctions against Russia went into effect.

Openly embracing Russia was still toxic at the time. After all, Trump’s first choice for national security adviser, Mike Flynn, had been forced to resign over discussing sanctions relief with the Russian ambassador before the inauguration, and Russia hawks assumed key positions in the new administration.

Those guardrails —in Congress or inside the administration— barely exist today.

A sign of things to come:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s Justice Department has disbanded a Biden-era program aimed at seizing the assets of Russian oligarchs as a means to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

The move to disband Task Force KleptoCapture is one of several moves undertaken by the Justice Department under the new leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi that presage a different approach toward Russia and national security issues.

Какая разница между трампистами, рашистами и коммунистами? Никакой.

Moscow has accused US President Joe Biden's outgoing administration of working against the plans of President-elect Donald Trump to resolve the war in Ukraine.

"During the election campaign, Trump talked about wanting to make peace in some way and was leading everyone down a peaceful path," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian television.

"And now they are doing everything they can to escalate the situation in such a way that peace agreements are doomed to failure," Peskov said on the political news show Moscow. Kremlin. Putin.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a linchpin of U.S. space efforts, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022.

The discussions, confirmed by several current and former U.S., European and Russian officials, touch on personal topics, business and geopolitical tensions.

At one point, Putin asked the billionaire to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request.
...
In October 2022, he asked his tens of millions of followers on X to vote on a pathway to peace that mirrored some aspects of the Kremlin’s offer to Ukraine at the time.

Those conditions included continued Russian occupation of Crimea and Ukrainian neutrality outside of NATO. He also specified that Ukraine should continue allowing the supply of water to Crimea, an issue that had been an important concern of the Kremlin before the war.

Earlier this year, Musk gave airtime to Putin and his views on the U.S. and Ukraine when X carried Tucker Carlson’s two-hour interview with the Russian leader inside the Kremlin. In that interview, Putin said he was sure Musk “was a smart person.”

Russia is pure evil.

Exhibit 1:

North Korean soldiers have been filmed receiving uniforms and equipment at a training ground in Russia’s far east, appearing to confirm reports from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) that 1,500 soldiers have been shipped over for military training to be deployed in Ukraine.

Exhibit 2:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a French newspaper that Israeli forces had found “state-of-the-art” Russian weapons in searches of Hezbollah bases in south Lebanon.

Netanyahu highlighted to Le Figaro newspaper, in an interview released on Wednesday, that under a 2006 UN Security Council resolution only the Lebanese army was allowed to have weapons south of the country’s key Litani river.

During the same interview, however, Vance suggested a proposal to end the war in Ukraine worth discussing: that the fighting stop where both sides’ troops are currently on the battlefield and a fortified demilitarized zone set up to prevent Russia from invading again. Ukraine would be guaranteed its sovereignty in exchange for its territory occupied by Russia and its neutrality—that is, it would not be admitted to NATO. Finally, Vance argues that Germany would need to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction.

American institutions took major hits in just two decades:
1. Misguided, expensive wars in the Middle East.
2. The financial Crisis and the bailout.
3. Covid & vaccinations.

In the background we had globalization and major demographic changes that impacted jobs, voting patterns and racial relations. If Trump wins he'll try and at least partially succeed in further eroding public trust in American institutions.

Top U.S. officials shared a batch of evidence to support their claims that the Kremlin is engaged in an active and aggressive push to influence the vote in favor of Trump. In a rare move, the Justice Department disclosed internal Russian strategy meeting notes that U.S. intelligence agencies had obtained, which reveal granular details about the Kremlin’s strategy.

One Russian document listed “target audiences” including residents of swing states, such as Arizona and Pennsylvania, Hispanic and Jewish Americans, gamers, and users of the social-media site Reddit. It also detailed efforts to create online communities to unite voters who shared perceived Republican values.

Особенность современного российского фашизма в том, что он вырос в богатом государстве, которое населяют сравнительно бедные граждане. Для иллюстрации: до войны Газпром был чуть ли не в первой пятерке самых прибыльных компаний мира. Если добавить сюда Роснефть и другие госкомпании, то -чистый- годовой доход корпорации "РФ" можно было бы оценить в сотни миллиардов долларов. Тут еще надо добавить, что доля доходов труда в ВВП России (~40%) была и остается существенно ниже, чем в развитых странах (~60% США и ЕС, 56% – Япония). Плюс закредитованность населения, что делает его еще беднее.

Одним из основных признаков фашистских режимов обычно считается мобилизация общества. В России ее вроде бы нет. Но если считать мобилизацию всего лишь функцией необходимой для выполнения военных, экономических и политических целей власти, то станет понятно, что такая функция может быть выполнена (implemented) разными способами. В бедном государстве она традиционно выполнялась за счет комбинации репрессий и идеологической накачки. Так дешевле, да и другого выхода не было из-за нехватки ресурсов.

Основная инновация российского фашизма в том, что власть на переходном этапе смогла сравнительно дешево купить у своих бедных граждан функцию мобилизации. Пока ей хватает денег и других ресурсов, власть будет работать над эффективностью военно-репрессивного аппарата, пробуя и отрабатывая при этом механизмы идеологической накачки, в первую очередь фокусируясь на детях и молодежи.
