Igor reflects a lot of the commentary from inside Russia, in which this "deal" is basically viewed as a huge case of Putin pulling the wool over Trump's eyes for a massive tactical win over a man who is an easily swayed idiot (but "our" idiot).

Well, that and the money we'll funnel to Putin for that "deal." Trump establishes a plausible laundering route, Putin gets American money with which to attack Ukraine, even as Trump castigates Zelenskyy for attacking Russia. Zelenskyy needs to keep blowing up Russian refineries.

The tell is what Moscow counts as the win. Not territory, not a ceasefire. Sanctions relief and a US president who won't say no are the payment for services rendered.

Dems better take over Starshield and Starlink asap. Don't trust Elon. The Communications Act of 1934: President can control satellite infrastructure in emergency (11,137 Starlinks) Step-in clause: PENTAGON dictates when the gov can take command over the 183 Starshield satellites & systems.
