This is the kind of thing that would normally disqualify someone from having anything to do with diplomacy. 1) There's the conflict of interest. 2) The fact they are using business deals as an inducement shows they don't understand this conflict. Ukraine wants sovereignty, Russia wants imperialism

Putin wanted the election to show that Russians support the war.   The only registered party openly opposing the war was removed from the nationwide ballot.   Nothing says ‘public support’ quite like removing the option to disagree.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

Americans seem increasingly comfortable with the idea that government actors shouldn't be criminally punished. That's antithetical to the rule of law. Criminal law applies to everyone or it's not really "law." The Supreme Court did not help matters with its decision in Trump v. US.

This is the Chinese Communist Party approach to national security. The CCP and other regimes that struggle with generating legitimacy and trust rely on output support. When that is criticized, it threatens their system. Putin's criminalization of critical reporting on Ukraine is the same idea.
