Pro-Russian influence operator

tread

@dalecrocker3213 \ 19 hours ago \ One can fully understand why Mr Baker would wish to attempt to rack up clicks by pandering to the addictions of TDS sufferers, but surely he could attempt a more rational assessment of the situation?  Trump and Putin both know that Ukraine can't win. The only question now is how much of Russia's former territories it will regain when the shooting stops.  Trump doesn't much care. He wants the war to stop because it is a bad for business. This, in itself, is a refreshing attitude from a US leader, and is much to his credit.  Putin is in a bit of a cleft stick. Kremlin hawks want to carry on until the whole of Novorossiya is recaptured, whereas Putin would probably be content with slightly less. He is afraid of his army though, and with good reason, and this colours his attitude..  These are very different men. Putin is an intellectual. Trump operates on instinct. Rather than continually slagging them both off, Western commentators would be better advised to support their efforts to end this needless war, which was actually started by the West, notably by the Biden crime family and the greedy imperialist bureaucrats of the EU.

My conclusion: pro-Russian influence operator.

I’m still amazed that this is a job description now.
