Intel Roundtable: back-story re Nobel Peace Prize; White House whining; more “theater” on Tomahawks & Ukraine; can one trust Netanyahu? Reason Putin, Ushakov, Peskov treating Trump w/kid gloves is that he is “NOT OKAY”; autism & circumcision. A smorgasbord

Scott Ritter & I discuss Tomahawks that will never get to Ukraine; also Moscow’s proposal that US adhere to the quantitative limits of New START for a year after it expires Feb 5 2026. IMPORTANT: “These are two separate matters,” says Ryabkov (min 57:00ff)

IF there is growing political ferment in Russia such that Putin might be replaced, Putin at Valdai seemed oblivious to it. Could, of course, be hubris – the tragic flaw that fells oblivious leaders. But not likely. He is cautious; good if he stays around.

Trump: Extending New START Treaty for a year, as Putin has proposed, “Sounds like a good idea to me.” Kirill Dmitriev reacts: “Judging by Trump’s remark, the probability of such an outcome is quite high.” Re Tomahawks, I sense red herring in that kerfuffle

“Yond Hegseth has a lean and hungry look; such men are dangerous. I do not know the man I should avoid so soon as that Hegseth. Let me have about me men that are fat.” Enter plump Gen. Mark Milley, as deus ex machina, with words to thwart complete despair.
