Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Vindman. As always, I have the highest respect for your assessment.

One question: In light of the trump administration’s link to Putin, what -in your educated opinion- did our CIA Director hope to achieve during his visit to Moscow?

Sadly, Canada and Europe are engaged in exercises in the Arctic against Russian submarine efforts *without the US.* We aren't truly an ally of Europe. I believe that Witkoff and Kushner's behavior, as well as the president's actual actions suggest that they support Russia in the Ukraine offensive. The president's opportunistic vague promises camouflage his enabling of Russia to continue the war. His treatment of Nato as a demanding dependent is also revealing. "Russia, if you're listening...."

May the Kushners be among the first to reap the whirlwind when trump and his managers, handlers, cronies and cohorts fall.

The EU, NATO allies, and others need to ask loudly and often, for the United States to participate in anti-Russian (Putin) counter-sabotage efforts.

I doubt the US will help Europe meet this challenge as long as the MAGA crowd is in power.

Do you think Russia will succeed in its sabotaging? Might it prove counterproductive? Is there any likelihood of sabotage in the US given that the Administration appears to support Russia?
