Exactly. As I argue in the piece, Anchorage was never about negotiation for Putin, but about legitimation. The 'optics' were the only deliverable Trump could bring home, while the substance—the security of Ukraine—was lost in the theatrical fog.

Spot on. This obsession with 'optics' over substance is dangerous. As I argue in my latest piece, we are seeing a similar pattern in the Arctic: while narratives clash, the actual strategic reality is shifting away from the West

Indeed. Time for Europe to wake up on the Arctic front too.

Donald Trump currently stands as the president with the most proven criminal convictions. Because no other president has been convicted of comparable felonies already adjudicated, he would, under those criteria, be considered “the most criminal president” in terms of convictions and severity"

Economic Relations, an Underestimated Weapon in the Kremlin’s Hybrid War against the West - I. The Leninist Imprint - European Security
The appeal of the Russian market, perceived as an El Dorado by Westerners, stems from a historical strategic blindness. For centuries, the West has deluded
