Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

Also, more generally, why do none of these reports examine Nikolai Patrushev's claim that Trump had obligations to the forces that helped him win?
It is a fact that Russia helped Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Why is that EVER forgotten?

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:
*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)
All pardonable

From MAL without noise
Nothing has been resolved. Trump is advocating for Kremlin propaganda - says Donbas has to be decided on via “referendum or parliament vote” and claims “90% people would support it”. He also says both US and Russia have interest in Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. So same demands
