romad1 Posted Sunday at 04:37 PM Posted Sunday at 04:37 PM there is a reason the Russians hate Bellingcat and other Eastern European OSINT warriors. I gather Cristo Grozev is no longer with Bellingcat. Quote
chasfh Posted Monday at 01:40 PM Author Posted Monday at 01:40 PM I don’t know why Elon would engage in an act of such self-sabotage, but his decision to show country of origin might become the really big deal needed to spur real action against malign foreign influence on American politics and governance. 1 Quote

Yeah, I don’t think it’s particularly surprising, and it’s not even particularly offensive, either, at least at a theoretical level. One of the jobs of an envoy is to advise the country they’re dispatched to on how to deal with American politics, albeit in a manner that’s consistent with the interests of the United States. The $64 question here is whether advising Russia on how to sell to the US a plan that’s tilted way in their favor against the Ukrainians is actually in America’s interests. I would imagine the majority of this administration would flatly agree that it is. Quote

I would imagine the majority of this administration would flatly agree that it is. The thing to keep in mind is that Trump doesn't care about American Interests - he cares about self-aggrandizement. All he wants in any plan is that it appears to work - at least externally, and hold together long enough for him to claim the credit. If he thought it was more likely he could bludgeon Putin into accepting a Zelenskyy blueprint, he'd be all over that instead - but of course since Putin impresses him, the thinks the main chance lies on that side. Sort of like Gaza - Israel is still doing pretty much what it wants, they had already defanged Hamas, all Trump really accomplished was to put a gloss on the status quo and take credit for it.
