Apparently there were a bunch of articles about him and the KGB that went out today or yesterday and then suddenly disappeared. I tried to view one at the Daily Beast and only got the 401 page.

Check my previous post (link - "makes sense") a Politico article from years ago.

There's another interesting read that goes pretty deeply into all of this. I don't know if I buy that they officially recruited him and gave him a codename, but sometimes if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... Could have simply started out with them acquiring some type of kompromat on him, or perhaps they just lured him in with the promise of business opportunities and economic assistance in exchange for him doing some small things for them at first. The more he did then, the deeper in he got with them until it became more or less a symbiotic relationship. Or no, on second thought, more like two parasites feeding off one another would be a better way of describing it probably, heh.

He's always seemed genuinely scared of crossing Putin though, so I think it's pretty reasonable to believe he's got stuff on him he's worried about being brought to light if he doesn't give him what he wants. Regardless of what's motivating his anti-Ukraine and anti-NATO behavior though, whether it's from simple admiration for Putin and wanting to be on team dictator, or whether it's actual fear of what could happen if he doesn't obey the guy who's got him by the balls, the end result is still the same. If it's the latter though, gonna be pretty impossible to make him break from backing Russia, no matter who or how many speak out against what he's doing. It's still a relief to see there's at least a small amount of resistance forming on the right against his most recent lies regarding Ukraine.

Yeah, I'm thinking Putin got his hands on incriminating Epstein stuff involving Trump.

Pee tapes.

I'm joking, those probably don't exist. They're allegedly with consenting adults.

The removal of the second Black man to serve as America’s most senior general and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff appears to send a strong signal from an administration that has outlawed diversity and inclusion efforts across the military and wider government.

At last year’s CPAC, Trump again shared a story about Caine—this time stating that general told him: “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” But what really seemed to seal the deal for Trump was that Caine then allegedly put on a MAGA hat, despite military protocol prohibiting active-duty troops from donning any clothing with a political message.  = shitbird.

Hegseth is gonna turn the military into a white supremacist hell hole. Firing someone just because they’re black or female is way worse than hiring someone for those reasons. These people misunderstand DEI. They aren’t allowing people into positions they aren’t qualified for. DEI just makes sure that qualified females and poc get jobs too. It’s not like in college where some people have the grades but not necessarily the test scores so they get a chance despite the scores.
