"Does this mean that we're about to see Donald Trump turn over a new leaf that's a lot more realistic when it comes to the Russians? Let's not get ahead of ourselves."Surrounding him you've got Witcoff who is maybe the dumbest person in western civilization and is the prime interface between Putin and Trump. All he does is regurgitate Putin's propaganda in Trump's presence.
"Number two, you've got the vice president JD Vance who is a not-so-closeted white
supremacist who thinks that the Russians are the great hope for the white race."Third, you've got the director of national security or national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who basically has stood against the United States on any meaningful foreign policy position for the last 15 years and has been very, very pro-Russian from the very, very beginning. The key thing about Tulsi Gabbard is that she controls the daily presidential brief that the intelligence community puts together for the president. So, I would be shocked if
details about what the Russians are doing even made it into the document in the first place. -
