"Look, to get paid the serious money, the Trump administration needs to get Putin the win Putin wants and the win they want. That is the real Win-Win that Jared Kushner ... talked about when he did his infamous interview." Maybe Jared should ask the oligarchs how that's working out for them.

"The Trump administration has made the US an accessory to Russian war crimes to enrich cronies and itself." I don't think any article by Phillips O'Brien has depressed me more than this. To all the Americans who voted for the Criminal-in-Chief because you hated the price of eggs, you own this.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

There’s the false accusation from a former state AG who should know better accusing someone of committing a crime based on zero evidence. Then there’s the behavior before, during and after. All of it really shows America what we already knew - Schmitt is scum.

So I've heard that Putin wants to mobilize 300,000 Russians to enter into this death trap. Good!! That just exposes the realists' argument that Russia can just win this war by sending out waves of orcs as farcical. Also, maybe the Russian people will stand up and say "enough is enough."

The failure to understand the limits of Russian military power before the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine was until that time the greatest failure in modern strategic analysis. The failure to understand the limits of US military power since February 2026 might be worse.

You know, I think there is a country that can really help out with their experience with drone warfare, that's friendly to Western interests and values, that could use some of those Patriot missiles and could really hurt another country helping Iran hurt American soldiers. On the tip of my tongue.

What a shock--Trump sends Witkoff and Kushner to meet first with Putin and reach an understanding, and naturally the Ukrainians have to say no. The idea that the US could be an honest broker in this war is madness. It is a stalking horse for the Russian dictator.

"The US military is being run by a group that apes the Russians and not the Ukrainians—when we have in front of us one of the best statements of command principles I have ever seen from the latter. It is a tragedy." The Putinization of the US Military is in full swing.
