| [American Thinker] They knew it could spark a geopolitical catastrophe. They did it anyway. Let’s dispense with illusions: Vladimir Putin is not misunderstood. He is an autocrat. He lies, he invades, he suppresses dissent, and he trades ruthlessly in realpolitik. His regime has poisoned opponents, jailed journalists, and bombed civilians. He has aligned himself—out of both strategy and necessity—with the Chinese Communist Party, America’s chief geopolitical adversary. In short, he needs no fabrication to appear villainous—his record speaks for itself. But that’s what he got. According to the recently declassified Durham annex, senior U.S. officials weren’t content to let Putin’s record stand on its own. They sought to amplify it—to demonize him alongside Donald Trump and turn the Russian president into a political cudgel. The aim was to hang Putin like a leaden albatross around Trump’s neck as part of a broader strategy to bring Trump down. This was a multi-pronged operation—inside and outside the government—with a domestic objective at its core: to destroy Trump before he could win or govern, by laundering a phony narrative through the Steele dossier and fabricated claims of collusion. |

His regime has poisoned opponents, jailed journalists, and bombed civilians. In short, he's exactly the kind of leader Russia needs right now? |

| #1 On the other hand, Putin gives free flying lessons to those who wouldn't otherwise get them. |
